Taking Memorization To The Next Level With Loci System

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you just couldnt say the words you wanted to say although you know, at the back of your mind, that sometime ago, you knew what was the word or the name of the person? Sad as it may seem, but its happening. With the fast paced lifestyle people are living now, theres no room for brooding on single information. Everything has to be done in quick succession since time is all that matters.

Failing to focus on the object involved at a given time and letting it absorb as a vague detail is a common mistake done by most of us today. This does not only lead to forgetting important details, but eventually, leaving out our memory skills to inactivity. People young and old have common traits and its called memory lapses.

You think these are just simple things that dont need remembering, but its you and your memory skills which are at stake here. Forgetfulness otherwise known as memory failure doesnt develop due to aging alone. It can be developed by middle aged people or even individuals on their mid-twenties. It does not choose its victims. Different factors that are common health drawbacks today such as depression, anxiety, use of alcohol and drug abuse contributes to a persons memory failure.

But what we can do to help ourselves is to practice using and enhancing our minds to remember tiny details. Putting our memory to exercise is one aid which can never be too late for anyone. An example would be to remember items on a list as you associate them with familiar places or certain objects you can find in one location.

After choosing a familiar location, you can then associate the objects you see on that location with the set of items you want to memorize. This approach is called the Loci System which originally came from the Romans. It is also called the Roman Room Technique with which rooms are used to associate the things they want to remember. But today, dont limit yourself in rooms, explore and expand your imagination in using the Loci System.

More Good News About Booze

A new medical study has provided more good news about booze. There is an ingredient in red wine that apparently really does prolong life, at least, the life of mice.

How do we know? In a recent study, mice that were fed all kinds of artery-clogging foods and fattened up were given huge doses of the elixir, while other mice were just fattened up. Despite being obese, the cardiovascular systems of the lucky mice on the regimen remained healthy so healthy the researchers, at no less than the Harvard Medical School, rushed to publish their findings even before the study was complete.

The work, which was done along with the National Institute on Aging, determined that heavy doses of the ingredient in red wine called resveratrol, lowers the rate of diabetes, liver problems and other fat-related health problems. While its too soon to know if the same ingredient works in humans, some scientists were excited by the findings and even called them "spectacular."

But dont reach for a second bottle of juice too fast. To get the amount of the ingredient that the mice were given, you would have to drink 100 bottles of red wine a day, an amount beyond the capacity of even the most delirious wino.

Yet there is hope. The promising ingredient is available as a health supplement, and without a prescription.

Of course, the usual drawback applies. Its not available at a dose that would really make much of a difference. For that salubrious event, youll need a prescription. Since we all know how promptly the FDA approves new therapies, we can expect that the first prescription will probably be written for one of our great grandchildren.
