For example, you can try to memorize something new. That can help you keep your brain active. Third, keep a balanced diet and give your brain enough time to rest. More importantly, you’d better live a healthy life and relax yourself more. I’m sure if you follow my advice, your memory will become better and better.
Yours,
Alice
