Pick up a copy of the November issue of National Geographic magazine and turn to the How to Help page “Memory Boosters” for tips on ways to keep your memory going strong.
Techniques include:
Reduce Stress - New research supports the long-held belief that distress and anxiety are bad for the brain.
Keep the Body Healthy – our brain will likely benefit, too, from a healthy diet (antioxidant-rich foods like blueberries may protect brain cells, aiding memory), regular exercise, and possibly light use of alcohol (a new study indicates a daily glass might slow dementia)
Stay Rested – Data suggest a good night’s sleep improves motor memory up to 30 percent after a lesson (e.g., piano).
You probably already know about those ways to keep your memory going. What you probably do not know is who belongs to the hand in the photograph.
I am here to give you the answer and you’d better remember the answer. It’s me!

Pure genius. I’ll never forget your hand. Ever. And we have NGM to thank for that!
It took me a long time to get it. I have to admit it, I did not recognize your hand when I saw it on the website. Looks good, though. This might lead to a new career.
Very cool!! Good thing you have nice fingernails…now you just need a manager.
Haha oh yes, I need a modeling manager and I need to go back and watch my earlier posting “Browsing the web with my voice’ so I don’t have to risk accident of the goods by typing here.
another thing to consider, Evan, is getting insurance for your hands for your new career:-)
nice digits!
