Memory experts offer tips to improve recall and keep brains active
Memory specialists in the US and UK suggest training techniques and learning new skills to combat age-related memory decline.
Training the brain like a muscle
Sania Alam, founder of Futuristic Learning, states that memory is a buildable skill similar to riding a bike. She advises people to take courses teaching memory techniques so they can use their own brains instead of relying on gadgets.
Learning new things helps recall
Barbara Sahakian, a professor at the University of Cambridge, says the best way to improve memory is to keep the brain active. She suggests finding enjoyable activities that people have not tried before, such as learning chess or a new language.
Modern life challenges memory
Alam notes that current times are not conducive to maintaining strong memory because of information bombardment and social media growth. She warns that these factors are causing young people to begin having memory issues at an early age.
