If you are looking ways to improve your memory, in addition to eating healthy and exercising regularly, it is a good idea to take a vitamin B complex. This way, you will be providing your brain and body with all the tools it will need to support your memory on a daily basis.

Get sufficient sleep. Getting enough sleep is important to keeping your memory sharp. When you are asleep, your brain disposes of unnecessary memories and forms more storage for new information.

You may not realize you are doing it, but when you memorize your phone number, you may break up the numbers. It is easiest to remember chunks of information in groups of three, four, or five, because people can only remember about three, four, or five pieces of information at one time.

In order to have a better memory, you will want to have different interests, and try new things. This will keep your mind sharp and open for new memories. In addition, these new neurons will connect to existing neurons, which will then give you a new approach as to how to look at something.

Regularly challenging your brain can help you improve your memory. Learning new, complex tasks such as a foreign language or how to play a musical instrument will help your brain stay active. Remember the old saying "Use it or lose it?" The same thing's true for your mind!
