Who couldn't use a little memory boost?!

Adding magnesium to your diet can improve your memory. 

It is suggested that magnesium reaches the brain better when absorbed through the foods we eat.  Recent studies suggest that supplements are less effective. 

So, pack in the magnesium by adding more broccoli, beans, nuts and spinach to your diet.
