What food and drink is good for your memory?

Your friend’s address. A family holiday as a child. The name of that lady you see at work every day. Memory is our ability to recall information from the recent or distant past. But can what we eat affect how well it works?

Kimberley Wilson, a psychologist with a master's degree in nutrition, looks at the food and drink that can have a surprisingly positive effect on improving our memory, and those that can do it harm.
