| Question: | Is there anything one can do, or take, to sharpen or improve one' s mind to learn and absorb things? |
| Answer: | Yes and no. There are certainly things you can do, but unless there is some disease present (such as an underactive thyroid gland), there are no tablets or capsules you can take that will help. It is always worthwhile having a check up with a doctor, just in case one of these diseases is present.
If you receive the all-clear, then it is a matter of training yourself using memory games, accurate speed reading courses, study techniques, inventing rhymes that include the topics you wish to remember and associating names or ideas with familiar objects to improve your mind skills. These training techniques can significantly improve your concentration and recall. |
