<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nSudoku<\/a> is a game that requires you to \u201cstore\u201d several items in your memory bank at the same time. The use of critical thinking skills, prolonged concentration, and planning ahead are also connected to memory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Mahjong<\/a> is a tile-matching game that originated in China. It\u2019s effects are powerful enough to improve the memory recall of dementia patients, and the effects are still measurable even after long periods of time without playing (at least up to a month!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Putting Jigsaw Puzzles<\/a> together allows you to physically see how pieces fit together. This helps you get better at spotting patterns and nuances in real-life events as either a cause or effect of improving your memory. The brain stores information better when it\u2019s related to a pattern. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Traditionally thought of as a children\u2019s activity, there is now a market for \u201cAdult Coloring Books,\u201d but if you don\u2019t feel like spending $20 on a book of black and white mandalas, a $1 children\u2019s coloring book will suffice. It was originally thought to improve memory by improving focus, but more recent research suggests that it actually works by quieting your mind and letting it simply do what it will do on it\u2019s own. Coloring also requires both logic and creativity, engaging both the right and left hemispheres of the brain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The most promoted but least understood way to bolster your memory is physical activity. If you\u2019ve ever been to a doctor for any kind of ailment, you\u2019ve probably had physical exercise promoted to you ad nauseum, so I\u2019ll keep this brief. Taking up even a light work-out routine can improve your memory recall, but professionals don\u2019t know how or why it works. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Possibly the most effective way to prevent inconvenient memory dumping is to keep your brain engaged in whatever it\u2019s doing right now, and that involves \u201cfeeding\u201d it new and different flavored stimuli. With the advent of YouTube, which now hosts so many different kinds of things that it would be impossible to list them all, there are plenty of videos online for free that can teach you the ins and outs of taking up a new skill or hobby. You can try out a new language or learn to play Fur Elise on piano. You may never play in an orchestra, but your brain will thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Written by Kadie Carmignani<\/strong>.
