10 Practical Tips on Improving Your Memory [原文来自：www.11jj.com]

As long as there’s a scrap of paper to be written on, anything can be remembered. But why rely on writing everything down when there are easy, natural, and sometimes strange ways to improve your memory? These ten practical tips on improving your memory will definitely stimulate your brain.

好记性不如烂笔头，但是为什么明明有简单、自然、有时候有些奇怪的方法能提高记忆力的时候还要用写的方法呢？以下就有这十种能刺激你的大脑帮你提高记忆力的方法。

1.Play brain games

玩益智游戏

By the time you’re an adult, you probably have a routine carved out. Get up, go to work, come home, be with family. These habits work because you’ve done them over and over, and they use the same neural pathways in your brain. Shaking up this routine can stimulate your brain so it keeps developing. Find brain teasers, or do sudoku and crossword puzzles in the paper. There are an influx of websites and game cartridges that will help you use your brain in different ways.Taking a new way home from work, visiting different places over the weekend, and reading different types of books will also activate lesser-used areas of the brain. Anything that’s new, fun, and challenging will stimulate your brain.

成年之后你可能有一些固定的生活习惯。起床、上班、回家、和家人待在一起。有这样的一些习惯是因为你已经重复了很多次，在你的大脑中已经形成了固定的思维模式。改变这些习惯可以刺激大脑，改善记忆力。看一些脑筋急转弯、做做数独，填字游戏。使用一些网站或是游戏都可以让你用不同的思维方式思考。重新找一条回家的路，周末的时候去一些不一样的地方，阅读一些类型不一样的书籍也能激活大脑中那些平常较少使用的区域。不管你做什么，只要是与之前有些不一样的、有趣的、对你来说有一定挑战性的都能刺激你的大脑。

2.Eat brain foods.

吃益智的食物

Food is fuel for the body, and also fuels the brain! Eating a well-balanced diet will not only improve your memory‒it can reduce your risk of dementia in old age. Eat plenty of omega-3s, which can be found in a variety of fish. If you don’t like seafood, try eating more walnuts, spinach, broccoli, and kidney beans. Eat more fruits and vegetables; they’re packed with antioxidants that protect brain cells from damage.

食物是身体的养分，同样也是大脑的能量来源。饮食均衡不仅能改善记忆力还能降低患老年痴呆的风险。多吃鱼类的脂肪酸，要是你不喜欢吃海鲜，可以试试核桃,菠菜,花椰菜,芸豆，还要多吃水果和蔬菜，这些食物都含有大量的抗氧化剂，可以保护脑细胞。
