Many people are born with photographic memory. If you want to boost your memory skills and recollections skills there are different ways which will help you to do so. Let's find out how you can create a photographic memory for yourself.

Train for an eidetic memory test

Practice makes perfect and practising for an eidetic memory test will also help you to become better in remembering things. Take an eidetic memory test or a photographic memory test. Such a test will ask you to look at two separate, yet wildly similar images and you will need to visually superimpose them on each other. There are different such tests are available and you can choose something according to your preference. It can also get a real, specialised certified test for yourself.

Consume more omega-3s

Consuming more omega-3 fatty acids will help you to improve your memory and will probably make it photographic. The oils in fatty fish like salmon or sardines are good for your brain. Omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation and blood pressure besides helping your brain cells. According to a study done by Harvard Medical School, omega-3 fatty acids can reverse the decline of memory. There are other fishes and sources available which can help you to get more omega-3 fatty acids.

Slow down and repeat

To create a photographic memory, you will need to practice more. When you read through something which you need to recollect in future, it is tempting to mentally wolf the material down as fast as you can. Don't do that. According to research done in UCLA, if you want to memorise something, it is always better to break up the knowledge over several days and also to repeatedly go over the material. So, red slow and repeat and repeat and repeat. Repeat as much is you can to remember things better. For example, if you're learning a new language, instead of trying to learn more in more words in a week, it'll be better to pick 10 words and repeat them over and over again during the week and you will remember them better.

Cardio

Cardio can help you to improve your memory and make it photographic. Running will definitely help you to improve your memory. According to a study in Current Biology, if you learn something new and then exercise within four hours your hippocampus will experience more activity. Hippocampus is the part of your brain that is responsible for remembering things. While exercising, you need to exercise at least at an intensity of 80%. So, next time you need to remember something better, learn it and then immediately go for a run or do some other cardio exercises and you will remember that better.

Coffee can help you

Do not forget your morning coffee. Scientific research found that 2 cups of coffee per day can boost your short-term memory function. That is why, you should never skip your morning coffee. There are many other health benefits of coffee. That is why probably it is a better idea not to skip your coffee and gulp down at least 2 cups during the day.
