The development of the brain, an increase in their intellectual level for young people means better results in studies, for middle-aged people - ample opportunities to make a career, and for the elderly - maintaining clarity of mind and preventing brain diseases. Carried away by the development of the mind, many achieve impressive results and even become laureates of the Guinness Book of Records.
Many people have already achieved incredible results in brain development. Someone has computing power at the computer level. Someone has a phenomenal memory for events and numbers. Someone speaks and writes fluently in hundreds of languages of the world. From this we can conclude that the average citizen uses his mental abilities by only a few percent. And neurophysiologists confirm this fact.
To train brain activity, many exercises, trainings and methods have been developed. Most of them can be grouped into several separate areas for training.
The main ways of developing intelligence
Studying the native language and foreign languages. Serious study of a new foreign language creates in the brain an expanded neural network necessary for memorizing new words, phrases, rules for constructing speech, grammar. The same thing happens with the constant study of your native language, replenishment of vocabulary, while working on literacy of speech and writing. In addition, knowledge of one or more foreign languages is a great advantage in employment and career advancement.
Neurons are a structural and functional unit of the human nervous system. The brain and spinal cord of humans and animals consists of these cells, which have a complex structure and highly specialized functions, and their processes.
Ambidexterity is the ability to perform all actions equally well with both the right and left hand. One of the cerebral hemispheres is responsible for the actions performed by each hand. The development of skills performed by the left hand (for left-handers - the right) activates the work of the previously inactive hemisphere, creates new connections between individual neurons and between the hemispheres.
The brain not only sends control impulses to the muscles of the body, forcing them to contract, relax and perform any action. An active lifestyle, regular physical activity, and the acquisition of new physical skills twice accelerates the formation of new neurons in the brain. The relationship also works in the opposite direction. It has been experimentally proven that if one imagines the process of physical training as vividly as possible, it gives good increases in muscle strength. So, for small muscles the gain in strength was 35% in 3 months, for large muscles - 13%.
For the purposeful development of the brain, a new science has been invented - neurobics. It was originally intended to prevent neurodegenerative diseases in the elderly. But then it showed its effectiveness among people of different ages. The basic tenet of neurosics is to do ordinary things in unusual ways. For example, dressing and shoes with closed eyes, doing household chores with one or two eyes closed, reading overturned books. You can go to work by different routes; at the workplace, you can make rearrangements more often. To watch television broadcasts without sound or listen with closed eyes, conjecturing what is not visible or audible.
Travel more often. Learn new about the life of other people, about geography, meet a variety of people. At all times, travel was considered the best way to become an intelligent and well-rounded person. And in primitive times - the only way. Therefore, for primitive people it was considered in the order of things to hear an oral description of a many kilometers route, repeat this route in a few years and find the right tree or rock at the final point of the path from the first try.
Art classes are great for developing brain activity. Singing, playing music, drawing, listening to good music develop imaginative and creative thinking. Moreover, the relationship between the hemispheres and parts of the brain develops, the intellectual level of a person rises. Scientists call this the "Mozart effect."
Additionally
Also, proper, healthy and balanced nutrition, giving up bad habits, and consuming enough water contributes to the development of the brain. Especially nutritious for the brain: walnuts, almonds, chocolate, coffee and cocoa, fatty fish, wild berries. Special drugs and biologically active additives also have a significant effect.
Smoking impairs the supply of oxygen to the brain, leads to oxygen starvation of nerve cells and impairs brain activity. Alcohol leads to the death of a large number of neurons, which negatively affects intelligence.
All the described exercises and tips will help to increase the results of brain activity many times over. It will not be possible to achieve 100 percent utilization of opportunities, if only because the opportunities have not been explored and the boundaries have not been defined. To find out the limits of possibilities, you have to go beyond them into the impossible!
