Improving Memory and Focus through Nutrition, Encoding, and Retrieval Practice
Nutrition plays a crucial role in memory enhancement, with supplementation and a good brain diet as a solid foundation. Encoding information involves making it emotional and visual, associating it with a specific place or concept, and active retrieval through quizzing oneself or teaching others. Active retrieval strengthens memory by reinforcing neural connections. It is essential to challenge automatic negative thoughts (ANTs) as they shape one's reality. This process involves self-assessment of diet quality and recognition of detrimental food choices. By incorporating these practices in daily routines, individuals can harness their brain's full potential for improved memory and cognitive function.
