Contains about 100 billion neurons, the human brain is a wonder. Every second, your brain receives about 100 million messages (transmitted by different sources) with the ability to sort and send signals to other organs. Your brain is capable of storing billions of times more information than a computer. It is the most impressive, the most complex and powerful organ in your body. Despite scientific invention and discoveries, the brain remains a mystery. However, the brain can experience certain disorders, among which memory loss is the most common. This article details the natural means to improve your memory capacity and concentration.

If our brains were computers, we'd simply add a chip to upgrade our memory. However, the human brain is more complex than even the most advanced machine, so improving human memory requires slightly more effort. Just like muscular strength, your ability to remember increases when you exercise your memory and nurture it with a good diet and other healthy habits.

Below is a list of things that are going to deminsh our memory process.

1. Alcohol: Interferes with short-term memory and damages dendrites in the brain, which pass on messages between brain cells. There are many different types of diseases that occur from to much alcohol so stay away from excessive use of this.

2. Insomnia: Can reduce your ability to retrieve memories and leave you feeling forgetful. Getting plenty of rest is very important.

3. Smoking: Limits the amount of oxygen and blood flow to the brain. Plus many other problems that are caused by smoking.

4. Stress: A new study showed that stress activates an enzyme, kinase C protein that undermines short term memory. If you can't fix the problem, try not to worry over it. It really does you no good.

5. Some medications: Tranquilisers, muscle relaxants, sleeping tablets, antidepressants and medication for high blood pressure can sometimes contribute to fuzzy thinking or cause some loss of memory capacity. Also when taking medication, be careful not to drive a car, since your thinking is not very clear.

Food to Boost Memory

1. Berries with benefits: Blueberries get their pigment from an antioxidant called anthocyanin, which may improve concentration, co- ordination and short-term memory. Strawberries are thought to have similar benefits and may help protect against memory loss.

2. Broccoli Boost: This humble vegetable is high in substances which work in the brain the same way that medication for Alzheimer's disease does - by blocking an enzyme that causes the breakdown of brain cells.

3. Excellent Eggs: Eggs are high in choline, a B complex vitamin. Lack of choline has been linked to poor memory and concentration, while the right amount can assist brain cells to communicate more effectively.

4. Grain Gains: Whole grains like brown rice and rye bread are packed with folate, B12 and B6, They help break down a chemical called homocysteine, which in high levels has been linked to Alzheimer's and heart disease.

5. Salmon Smart: Cold-water fish like salmon, tuna, mackerel and herring are packed with healthy fatty acids called DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). These have been shown to assist all of the brain's thinking functions
