The brain is a tireless workhorse that controls all bodily activities. It should be kept in good shape at all times. This can be done by exposing it to various training methods. Take a look.
Your brain does not have the innate ability to store energy therefore it is your job to fuel it with the appropriate nourishment. You cannot tell it to run laps if it’s hungry. A diet rich in antioxidants and vitamins is the way to go. This will give your brain an edge in the memory and cognition department.
It will be of big help if you constantly entice your brain with food varieties. Make sure that before engaging in puzzling and mind-boggling stunts you have taken a well-balanced meal. Fruit, whole grain, veggies, nuts, meat, and the likes should be amply present on your plate come eating time.
Part of the whole training thing is starting the day right. Pack your breakfast with beans. According to studies these tiny wonders can give your cognitive skills a huge lift. Make sure you and the kids move away from those table junks so that tasks are completed with ease.
Rev your brain up and tease it with playful thoughts. Challenge it every now and then as your day goes on. Develop a habit of engaging in a stimulating talk with a friend or colleague. Take on new hobbies and master new skills. Welcome something new such as learning a foreign language or art.
The given actions will improve the blood flow in your brain thereby strengthening the synapses between the nerves. You can spice things up by multi-tasking. Flip the pages of a novel or complete a crossword while talking on the phone or surfing the net.
Laughing your brains out may not sound too good but it can help. Experts state that people who were exposed to some sort of comedy tend to perform better in works that demand a high dose of creative thinking. These people express feelings of excitement, alertness, and interest. Although you should be warned that a good laugh is not adequate to make your brain perform during tasks that need to be done on a formal setting.
As you reach your front door after a hard day’s work think of less TV involvement. Studies indicate that people who are so glued to their favorite program tend to go in a neutral state wherein high amounts of alpha brain waves are wondering about the halls of the brain. This is like hiding away in the darkest corner of your home doing nothing.
During moments of relaxation you can help your brain ease up by adding new terms in your arsenal. Having the right words at the right time can do you great wonders like bagging that position you’ve been working on or hitting the jackpot with a date. Limit this exercise to a maximum of eight words. Getting too excited and going beyond will hinder needed retention.
Intellectuals who made their glorious way into recognition dared to be different. They slipped away from conventional knowledge and laid out unique assumptions. Question the ones you know off to trigger the thought process on a regular basis.
Training the brain requires constant practice. Observe these things regularly and you’ll end up with healthy and happy thoughts.
