      Introduction

      An apple a day doesn’t just keep the doctor away; it can also improve memory, and is one of 100 easy ways you can sharpen your mental acuity. From dietary changes to herbal supplements to simple activities like completing Sunday’s crossword, we’ve collected dozens of proven ways to boost your brainpower.

      Now you can give your brain the ultimate workout!

      Eat Breakfast

      Breakfast is one of the most important meals, yet it is probably the most skipped meal of the day. The word breakfast describes exactly what it does: breaks a fast. After a good night’s rest, your body has gone eight to twelve hours without food or energy. Blood sugar, or glucose, which comes from the breakdown of food in the body, is your body’s main source of energy. Eating food provides your body with a fresh supply of blood glucose or energy. The brain in particular needs a fresh supply of glucose each day because that is its main source of energy. (The brain does not store glucose.) Eating breakfast is associated with being more productive and efficient in the morning hours. Breakfast eaters tend to experience better concentration, problem-solving ability, strength, and endurance. Your muscles also rely on a fresh supply of blood glucose for physical activity throughout the day. Here are a few healthy suggestions:

      Cold cereal with fruit and skim milk

      Bran muffin and a banana

      Hard-boiled egg and grapefruit juice

      Yogurt with fruit or low-fat granola cereal

      Peanut butter on a whole-wheat bagel and orange juice

      Instant oatmeal with raisins or berries

      Breakfast smoothie (blend fruit and skim milk)

      Cottage cheese and peaches

      Take Ginkgo Biloba

      The leaves of the ginkgo contain the active constituents ginkgo flavone glycosides and terpene lactones, the extract of which can be used to treat poor circulation in the legs as well as memory and cognitive problems. In a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association researchers confirmed that people who take the ginkgo extract for mild to severe dementia may improve both their ability to remember and to interact socially.
