As a doctor, my patients often ask me what vitamins and medicines they can take to improve their memory. And my answer is always that there are no such drugs. Vitamins in pills offer nothing to our body and especially to memory except for some vitamins which when there is a deficiency we will find out in blood tests. A balanced diet leaves no deficiencies in almost any vitamin. And the way vitamins are incorporated into our food makes them irreplaceable. The vitamin companies do a very good job of marketing vitamins because they are very cheap to produce and expensive to sell. In the case of memory the only thing that works is exercising the mind. The brain and especially memory is also like a muscle that if not exercised will weaken. So you need to work on your memory to make it better or even worse over the years. Proven ways of practicing memory are special exercises you can find on the internet or in books, learning a new language or a musical instrument. A very nice method that we also use in our practice to help our patients who want it and we can recommend it to you is memory palaces. It has its roots in ancient Greece and specifically in the ancient Simonides, when he was called upon to identify the bodies of a hall that collapsed shortly after he left. Simonides managed to recall their names by bringing to mind the location of each guest. This is the method on which the palaces of memory are based. So, with the above ways you can sharpen your memory and not with drugs. If you need our help with great pleasure to offer you our help in learning this method.
