Bodies by the hundreds are turning up. If the men could kill each other and leave us women alone, I would be all for it.

In a recent blog, I told you about Stephen Jepson, a man in his early 70s who keeps his body, and mind, in tip-top shape basically by playing all day long, every day. In writing that blog, it reminded me of one of my favorite (and simplest) tips for promoting optimal cognitive health and specifically improving short-term memory: Eat sardines.

How do sardines improve memory? These tiny fish are not only a good source of the essential fatty acids EPA and DHA, which are key components for learning and proper brain function, but they are also one of the richest sources of nucleotides.

Nucleotides are the sub-units or building blocks from which your body creates ribonucleic acid (RNA). RNA is a molecule that has been shown to be a big factor in cellular memory, and it is believed to be essential to short-term memory. Specifically, RNA stimulates the production of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter key to memory and other functions in the brain.

Two Tins a Week for a Better Memory

So, when it comes to improving short-term memory, I strongly suggest adding sardines to your diet—one tin at least twice a week. Just make sure you purchase “true” sardines. Years ago a law passed allowing manufacturers to market any small, soft-boned fish as a “sardine” in the US. True sardines come from Moroccan, Portuguese, or Mediterranean waters.

If you don’t like sardines, or can’t bring yourself to try them, you can eat other foods that are high in nucleotide content to improve memory, including brewer’s yeast, anchovies, mackerel, lentils, most types of beans, and oysters. The green algae chlorella is also high in nucleotides, as is the blue-green algae spirulina.

You can also take RNA in supplement form. It is part of the B-vitamin family and available at most health food stores and online. To find out how much to take, Dr. George Goodheart has devised an easy at-home test to determine your RNA dosage. And with this simple test, you can always go back and recheck later to adjust your dosage downward as your short-term memory improves.

But to see the capsulation this morning you would think that only the white quarterback whose team lost did a stella job. His performance was highlighted while the fact that the Seahawks quarterback, Russell Wilson immediately brought his team down the field for the winning touchdown was ignored.

Most white boys will never stop promoting themselves at the expense of everyone else.

And in typical white boy fashion they made their opinion law by passing legislature that made the rest of us have to do what they do. Essentially they gave our kids a 800 number to use to report spanking.”
