Memory Boost

Once again Neat-cha beats me in submitting the post for this blog... Hahaha.. part of me said don't worry, she will do good at least to cover up my laziness.. yeah right!!!

Ok... i'm not good in using all the bombastic words and even in writing like Neat-cha. What I'm going to do until I manage to get a story of my own, is giving out info I read from my fav magazine at the moment, SHAPE, The Only Active Lifestyle Guide for Women. This article is on page 14 of November 2007 issue.

"A Quick Trick To Boost Your Memory

Moving your eyes horizontally back and forth to improve your memory may sound weird, but British scientists are convinced that it works. In a recent study, people who did such eye movements for 30 seconds memorized more of the words on a list than people who didn't move their eyes at all or who moved them vertically, explains Andrew Parker, Ph.D., senior lecturer of psychology and social change at Manchester Metropolitan University. His explanation for the phenomenon? "Eye movements may increase hemispheric interaction - the communication between the left and right sides of the brain," he says, "which is crucial for recalling a specific event."

Well, now I know, that there is another way to boost up your memory without having to buy and swallow pills or any other medication for that purpose. I eats raisins to boost up my memory and apart from the other multi-vitamins suggested by my friends, all I can say is eating raisins is the best one so far. I still have so called "short-term memory loss" but not as critical as Lucy in 50 First Date and so far I survived all challenges.

By the way, I've tried the eye exercise but all I got was headache.. I didn't say it doesn't work but maybe I'm doing it the wrong way.. doesn't hurt to try right??

p/s: try to link to shape magazine but can't find it.. anybody know please do let me know, I don't want people say that I take the credit for other people works... am I right Neat-cha??

worthy lesson - never hurt to try even it sounds or looks weird, the outcome that matters. And also don't ever try to take credits for other people work...
