I was worried then one of my friend told me about Proleva his daughter had significant improvement in memory. Proleva did extensive studies on Green tea concluded that it is an excellent memory enhancer. Proleva uses green tea to get the best of the benefits for the customer.

Vitamin B can improve our thinking ability. Vitamin E can help preserve brain function and protect nerve-cell degeneration. It is also one of the important antioxidants that our brain needs. Carbohydrates are good for the brain, because they contain Glucose which are known as the brain fuel. It gives off energy for us to concentrate, remember, learn, and other activities. Then there's your protein. Amino acids are obtained from protein. Neurotransmitters need those amino acids to relay or become a messenger from one nerve cell to another. A high protein meal can make us feel energized because it increases the tyrosine levels of our brain and blood. Tyrosine and tryptophan are some of the different types of amino acids. And because tyrosine can make us become more energized, our brain can concentrate more. Here is some more info on some of the brain food:

Just like any other skill, you can practice and get better memorization. I have done personal projects that made me memorize one important scripture or quote a day for 90+ days in a row. At first, you have to read and reread the material to recite it perfectly, but in a few weeks, you only need to read something slowly once before you can repeat it without aid the next day. Don't neglect the elusive obvious - directly exercise your memory with the exact feat you'd like to get better at. If you want a better facial recognition memory, practice looking at faces and placing the names. Furthermore, I like to take advantage of a combination of several of the tips (3,8,10) to increase my memory. When learning something, I try to experience it in several ways. You could see it visually, and then close your eyes and imagine the process in your mind. Or you could try to learn the same item in a different context, by finding what impact it has in a totally different arena than the one it was presented in. For example, you could determine what effect the romantic painters had on science. By layering your learning with different perspectives and biological systems, you can create a lot of additional neurological pathways that augment your memory. Just finding how a piece of information fits into your real world experience will help the factoid be glued into memory far more than if you just try to memorize some fact for the sake of it. - Bart I know that memorizing and recalling information have biological components, but they also have learned skill elements too.
