How can memory be maintained? Experts suggest several methods, such as eating slowly and chewing thoroughly, which can increase blood circulation in the cerebral cortex and stimulate brain nerves, thereby reducing the risk of dementia. Additionally, exposure to sunlight can promote nerve growth factors and improve sleep quality.

U.S. Memory Competition Champion: "Monkey, iron, rope."

The U.S. memory champion can memorize 40 items and their order in just 10 minutes. How is this possible?

This is how it works—visual association is often the key to memory training. Memory Expert: "We use visuals, we use sounds, we have these different senses. The more individual pieces of information we combine, the better the chance of remembering them."

Of course, maintaining memory also depends heavily on daily habits. Online Video: "Sleep plays a very important role, allowing your brain to consolidate the information and thoughts from the day, making it easier to recall them in the future."

Everyone needs at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep per day. Lack of sleep can trigger a series of negative reactions in the body, leading to memory decline. Besides sleep, exercise is also crucial! Online Video: "Exercise also increases brain cells in the hippocampus and the areas responsible for memory. Basically, it makes everything better, so just exercise more!"

Scientific research has found that people who exercise have more new brain neurons than those who don’t, making the brain less prone to decline and helping to maintain memory.

Additionally, experts say that chewing food slowly and thoroughly can increase blood circulation in the cerebral cortex. Chewing also stimulates brain nerve activity, reducing the likelihood of developing dementia in old age. Another way to boost memory is by getting sunlight, as it promotes nerve growth factors, causing nerve fibers to grow—like "growing hair"—and also improves sleep quality.
