The memory involves a good bit of brain activity and brain activity puts special emphasis on a healthy nervous system and healthy blood flow, therefore steps you can take to improve your blood flow, circulation, and nervous system function can contribute to better memory.
A first important step would be upgrading the overall fat quality in your meal plan.

You'll want to focus on plant foods like walnuts, flaxseeds, cold water fish like salmon, and oils like extra virgin olive oil because the types of fat contained in these foods help keep your blood vessels and nerve wrappings healthy and avoiding hydrogenated oils that contain trans fatty acids, fried foods, large amounts of beef fat, pork fat, or chicken fat, or other high-fat, processed foods is a good first step.

Get plenty of antioxidant nutrients like vitamins C, E, beta-carotene, colourful plant flavonoids and carotenoid pigments and minerals like zinc and manganese. Vegetables and fruits that are richly coloured are usually your best bet. Look for ones that are deep in colour such as dark greens eg. leafy greens such as mustard greens, kale, broccoli, etc, deep orange such as papaya, sweet potato, winter squash, etc, dark blue ones like berries, eggplant, purple cabbage, etc and deep red berries, cherries, tomatoes, peppers, etc.

B-complex vitamins are another particularly important category of nutrient when it comes to brain function and memory. Many of the nervous system messengers that send signals back and forth between our nerves (neurotransmitters) cannot be synthesized without the presence of B vitamins. Vitamins B6, folate, and choline would be especially important here, even though all of the B-complex vitamins would play a supportive role.

Therefore the importance of your diet providing a wide range of nutrients as a way of supporting your memory processes is of count amount importance. However for healthy nervous and cardiovascular systems, adequate exercise and rest are just as important as food when it comes to optimum health and vitality.
