Tips to boost memory Memory can be improved basically by making use of it — exercising your brain helps it function better, just as exercising your body helps your body function better and become stronger. However, it may surprise you to know that physical exercise also helps improve memory and brain function. This is because aerobic exercises in particular, including activities such as walking and swimming, increase the brain's supply of oxygen. You should therefore try to incorporate exercise into your daily schedule, even if it is only a half hour walk. In addition to improving the general state of your health, it will improve your memory. A healthy diet is also essential, along with regular and adequate rest.
As far as exercising your brain goes, it is good to keep learning new things, and staying alert and aware of what is happening around you, whether they be political events, developments in technology, or anything that interests you. Social interaction is also very important, along with a general cheerful, positive outlook. Stress, lack of sleep, and depression tend to affect memory and brain function.
Simply using your memory will also help it improve — rather than relying entirely technology to keep track of things like numbers and names, you should try to memorize such things, using your computer, phone etc only as a backup.
