When study- ing for exams, many students repeat important points to themselves time and again, and that same approach can be applied by adults who are trying to improve their memories. • Eat a healthy diet. A study pub- lished in 2015 in the journal Neurolo- gy found that people who eat healthy diets with lots of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and fish and little alcohol and red meat may be less likely to ex- perience declines in their memory and thinking skills. Authored by An- drew Smyth of McMaster University in Ontario and the National Univer- sity of Ireland in Galway, the study following more than 27,000 people in 40 countries for an average of roughly five years. All participants were 55 and older and had diabetes or a history of heart disease, stroke or peripheral artery disease. Those who ate the healthiest diets were 24 percent less likely to experience cognitive decline than people with the least healthy diets. • Break things down. Breaking things down into small chunks also can help improve memory. If tasked with remembering something exten- sive, such as a speech, focus on a single sentence at a time, only mov- ing on to the next sentence when you’re confident you have success- fully committed the preceding sen- tence to memory. Periodic memory lapses are of- ten nothing to worry about. But men and women concerned about main- taining their memories can employ various strategies to do just that.

What are some types of opioids? The CDC notes that there are three common types of opioids: prescription opioids, fentanyl and heroin. • Prescription opioids: These are prescribed by doctors to treat moderate to severe pain. Some common types of prescription opi- oids are Vicodin (hydrocodone), OxyContin (oxycodone), morphine, and methadone. • Fentanyl: This is a synthetic opioid that the CDC notes is con- siderably more powerful than other opioids. Fentanyl is typically only prescribed to help patients deal- ing with severe pain, such as that caused by advanced cancers. How- ever, illegally manufactured and distributed fentanyl is at the heart of the opioid epidemic. In fact, the CDC reports that death rates from overdoses involving synthetic opi- oids such as fentanyl doubled in 10 states from 2015 to 2016. • Heroin: Unlike fentanyl and prescription opioids, heroin is il- legal. Despite that, heroin usage has risen sharply in recent years across nearly all demographics in the United States. Opioids pose a signifi cant health problem throughout much of North America.
