I would go for vitamins and fat fish.\n\nginseng works but it's more like a drug. Coffee would be a  more accepted addiction. There are also a lot of books that really work. (I know it sounds strange) Any training requires upkeep. So don't over do it. :P

A healthier diet which helps with sleeping problems may therefore have a knock-on effect and also help to improve poor memory. Exercise should also be combined with dietary changes, as this will improve oxygen levels within the bloodstream and which will naturally increase oxygen levels to the brain.\n\nSeek Medical advice is the best.

First and foremost you need to see your doctor.  They may be able to run some test to figure out why you are having this problem.  \n\nSecond, supplements help...as was said before Ginkgo works and St Johns wart.  \n\nThird think about the meds you are taking.  Are you taking sleeping pills ?  I know that Amben does cause memory loss.  Other drugs may as well.\n\nForth, Play mind games.  Sudouku is a great mind game that improves your iq and memory.  Most puzzles will help.  When you meet someone and they tell you there name...make sure you listen and them make up a rhyme or think of someone you know or character from a book or story.  Then say it ten times in your head while picturing them as you walk away.\n\nI hope this helps you.! Blessings to you

Exercise your mind by learning new things, stay active, eat food rich in anti-oxidants, and spend time with your close friends.  All these things have been proven by research to slow memory loss and lead to a happier life.

Simply put, just memorize more and more often. Look at something every day for 30 mins and chances are, you will remember it.\n\nYou can also use visual cues to memorize something. For example, if you have to go golfing, out to dinner, and buy a hat, you might think about a guy wearing a hat, swinging a golf club, with a piece of food in his mouth, then you'll remember all three.\n\nAlso, understanding is an important part. If you understand what a definition means, then you'll remember it better. Write down that definition and say it aloud just as often as you read it, and you'll remember 3x better than if you had just scanned it over.\n\nAs for diet, it doesn't really matter. Try to eat something healthy, that will get the body fuels pumping. Plenty of sleep, and you'll remember.

You can improve your memory in many ways.  For your particular case it is important to know what the cause of a declining memory is.  Is it lack of mental stimulation, lack of appropriate diet, exercise, or perhaps even depression.\n\nMany of the things listed before me are good recommendations.  But the thing that you can do to make your memory stronger is to exercise it.  In other words, lift mental weights.  You could even do that here on Yahoo answers.  Find questions other people have that you would also like to know the answer to and look up the information and answer the question for that person.\n\nGood luck.

as an employee at a drug store, I can tell you that there are many supplements that can be used to improve brain function. One such product is Centrum Performance, a vitamin, which is supposed to "vitalize body and mind." another product is called BrainSpeed (runs about $40 for 60 tablets), obviously directed more for the brain. I personally haven't tried either of these products, nor have I spoken to anyone who has. I have been considering trying Centrum Performance. Anyway, just talk to a doctor or check out your local drug store.

If you want to train your memory you can use things like peg words and word association in a manner that your memory is forced to work.  There is NOT enough room here to offer everything but I have a memory course which I bought a long time ago that teaches you how to associate things in a funny or violent or zany or sexual manner to remember them.  The theory behind this is that this is what the mind seems to keep as the deepest or most intense of memories.  Also, using sounds to match the numbers 0 to 9 can allow you to remember things like dates and lists and so on.  ONCE you do these training excersises you not only have a few good memory techniques, but your mind actually improves as per its memory because you are "using it" or "excercizing" it. Incidently, if you are wondering about Ginko Biloba or other herbs, there is little evidence to show that this helps the mind - and it is expensive.  If it were cheap, I would say go for it.  Apparently eating fish helps because of the vitamin and mineral and fatty acids in fish.  You should look up health FOOD and MEMORY to see what FOOD (not supplements so to speak) helps keep the brain or mind healthy.

Before finding a solution to help enhance your memory, you need to first ask yourself what could possibly be causing this weakness in memory.\n\nCertain things that can cause weak memory can include:\n\nAre you getting enough sleep? Sleep plays a very large role in memory, if your brain is not fully rested, it can not be expected to function properly.\n\nAre you following a healthy diet? Lack of nutrition and vitamins and such, can decrease memory.\n\nAre you suffering from depression, or any other psychology disorders? If so, are you taking medication for it? \n\nHave you suffered any any head injuries? \n\nAnswering these questions, is the first step in finding the solution to your problem. If you've been dealing with the problem since a young age, or are getting older in age, you may be suffering from a Memory or Neurological disorders. \n\nFeel free to contact me for addition information.

Don't take rat poison. The drugs you take  may give you temporary enhancement of memory but there is always a price to pay. As defined by the FDA, a drug has to kill a rat to be defined as a drug. \n\nFood is important. Eat foods with good fat such as almonds, walnuts, and avocados.\n\nTake a good B-Complex Vitamins, Vitamin E, Flax Seeds, EDTA (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid) \n\nEat green vegetable.\n\nDrink antioxidant gree tea\n\nEat food your gut tells you to rat and not  what is pushed in front of your. "Educating instead of medicating" is the way to go.\nhttp://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_105441.html?nav_src=newsIndexHeadline\nYour gut may believe you don't need memory to live the lifestyle it is living. Coach it into where you want it to go and it will respond. Show your gut you want to improve your memory by feeding it what it needs to improve memory.\n\nAlmonds\nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/m.asp?f=125&i=13\nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/m.asp?f=198&i=3\n\nBlueberries & Tumeric\nhttp://curezone.com/forums/m.asp?f=491&i=15\n\nGotu Kola and Bacopa\nhttp://curezone.com/forums/m.asp?f=491&i=17\n\nRhodiola Root & Polygonatum Sibericum Root\nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/m.asp?f=78&i=37\n\nGingko Biloba \nhttp://curezone.com/forums/m.asp?f=491&i=10\n\nOmega 3 Fatty Acids\nhttp://curezone.com/forums/m.asp?f=491&i=11\nhttp://curezone.com/forums/m.asp?f=491&i=7\n\nWithania somnifera/ Shilajit\nhttp://curezone.com/forums/m.asp?f=491&i=2

Make sure you eat well (particularly low GI food, as it will give you a boost over an extended period rather than something like chocolate which picks you up for 5 minutes and then dumps you again worse than you were before!).  Drink plenty of water, eat regularly, Bananas are supposed to be brain food, as is anything containing lots of Vitamin B.\n\nDon't stay up late, make sure you sleep well (8 hours a night!).\n\nApparantly Co Enzyme Q10 is supposed to help things like memory, as is Gingko and Ginseng - I find that two latter things make me hyper, but it is different for everyone!

I'd say exercise and meditation/prayer along with other lifestyle changes.  You need to address the underlying problem--herbs are just a quick-fix.

your mind,  like your body need exercise to function well. a few way to exercises your mind is to some crossword, puzzle, or play common games like solitaire, or chess to sharp your mind. keep on adding, multiplying,and subtracting.
