Life now and then throws up tasks that require mental flexibility, ingenuity and ingenuity to solve. The human brain, like muscles, requires constant training, otherwise the ability to cope with problems and unusual situations will gradually weaken.
Instructions
Step 1
The most powerful and well-known way to develop intelligence is, of course, study. Gnawing holes in the "granite of science", you arrange an excellent workout for your own brain. To improve your memory, start memorizing the poems of your favorite Russian poets, as well as memorizing the words of a foreign language. While reading the book, do not just get carried away with the plot, but also pay attention to the author's idea, the drawing of the characters and the use of speech means. Having met an unfamiliar word, do not be lazy to look up its meaning in the dictionary, expanding your vocabulary.
Step 2
Try to perform the usual actions with the second, non-working hand. If you are right-handed, then hold a spoon, fasten and unbutton your clothes, draw with your left hand, if you are left-handed, then vice versa. Gradually complicate the task. This exercise helps to activate the work of both hemispheres.
Step 3
Discard the TV. While watching numerous talk shows, TV series and simply aimless "clicking" channels, the resources of the brain are absolutely not used. In addition, screen flickering, quick change of pictures and sound accompaniment do not allow the nervous system to rest. This is why a couple of hours in front of the TV leads to a feeling of emptiness.
Step 4
Read the classics. If your acquaintance with the masterpieces of world literature was limited to the school curriculum, then it's time to catch up. Good books teach you how to express your thoughts competently, build logical chains, and also help expand your vocabulary. Experiencing together with the heroes of works of art, you will develop not only your intellect, but also your emotionality.
Step 5
Get enough sleep. Sleep is a kind of "reboot" of the brain. Therefore, for its good work, you need to spend at least 8 hours a day in bed. If possible, then you should add an afternoon rest to your night's sleep. Taking a nap for an hour, you will allow your brain to better assimilate the information received during the morning hours, as well as prepare for new knowledge. And then the clarity of mind will remain until the evening.
Step 6
In order to maintain the ability to perceive and study information, you need to adhere to a special diet. First of all, it is worth providing the brain with unsaturated fatty acids, which means that you will have to fall in love with sea fish: mackerel, halibut, salmon. Wholemeal bread, cauliflower, egg yolk are sources of B vitamins, which are essential for the full development of intelligence. Vitamin "C" increases the speed of thinking, "A" - helps to improve concentration. Therefore, the menu must include citrus fruits, green apples, carrots and dairy products.
