Six Ways to Boost Brainpower

six completely doable ways to boost your brain power with resorting to chemicals.
  • Exercise it. Physical exercise is the best thing you can do for your brain.
  • Feed it Fat. Our brains are mostly fat and the brain needs fat for fuel. But feed your brain good fats like Omega-3’s, nuts and seeds.
  • Stimulate it. To do this you must learn something new and hard. The easy stuff doesn’t get your neurons firing.
  • Play with it. Play is very important for brain health. From video games, board games, cards and surfing the net.
  • Serenade it. Music can enhance moods and better sleep and lower blood pressure. Of course, make sure you listen to classical, jazz and other soft sounds - and not thrash-metal [at least not right before bed or a meeting in which you need to maintain your cool].
  • Meditate it. Meditation boosts brain functioning as well as the immune system. So get your Ohm on.
