Memory
Your brain is a complex and incredible organ! It’s the control centre of your whole body.1 It keeps you alive, allows you to perform everyday tasks and manages memories.1
How to care for your memory and mind
Keeping your brain healthy and your mind sharp is important for a healthy, long life.1 In today’s world, people are living busier lives, and our brains are absorbing more and more information every single day. As a result, it can be easy to forget things from time to time.
Keeping your memory in the best condition is a bit like keeping your fitness up at the gym. Memory works like a muscle, so you need to use and train it regularly to keep it strong.2
There a number of ways you can support the health of your brain and your memory, and you can start doing this at any age.1-3 At Centrum, we recommend taking a holistic approach, incorporating vitamins and minerals with lifestyle, exercise and nutrition.
