Friday's Tip:

How to boost your memory:

• Remember a list with a mnemonic using the first letter of each item.
• If you keep losing something, such as your keys or glasses, form a
  mental picture of where they are when you put them down.
• Memorise a poem, or learn one new fact every day*.
• Smell is closely linked with memory so learn a fact while smelling a
  particular scent. Aromatherapy oils can help: coriander and rosemary for
  improved memory; lemon for concentration; ginger to overcome forgetfulness.
• Foods rich in thiamine (vit B1) can help.  Eat lots of brown rice,
  wheatgerm, wholegrain bread, cereals and brewer's yeast, as well as minerals
  potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron & zinc.
• Eat fish.  It contains phosphatidylcholine which helps memory.
• Eat more garlic, and take ginkgo biloba which improves bloodflow in
  the brain.
