Monica Singh

Here is a list of eight remedies that can help you improve your memory and concentration.

Physical activity raises blood flow to the whole body, including the brain. This might help keep your memory sharp.

Be physically active every day

Just as physical activity keeps your body in shape, activities that engage your mind help keep your brain in shape. And those activities might help prevent some memory loss.

Stay mentally active

Look for opportunities to get together with loved ones, friends and other people, especially if you live alone.

Spend time with others

You're more likely to forget things if your home is cluttered or your notes are in disarray. Keep track of tasks, appointments and other events in a notebook, calendar or electronic planner

Stay organized

Not getting enough sleep has been linked to memory loss. So has restless sleep and sleep that gets disturbed often.

Sleep well

A healthy diet is good for your brain. Eat fruits, vegetables and whole grains.

Eat a healthy diet

Follow your health care provider's advice for dealing with medical conditions, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, hearing loss and obesity.

Manage chronic health problems
