Answer 2

Doing simple things can enhance your memory. An example is the using of chopsticks. Studies show that the part of the brain, the hypocampus, responsible for mastering the skill is the same as for the memory.
Hundreds of brain cells are activated and put to work whenever a person does the skill. Therefore, memory cells are also stimulated and exercised just like a muscle.

Also, certain studeis claims that chewing gum can also help during memorization of notes, reviews and lectures or anything written.

Finally don't forget brain foods like beans, nuts, etc.
