15 Secrets And 10 Foods To Boost Your I.Q. In Less Than 30 Days by youngwarlocks: 9:10am On Sep 23, 2014
Intelligence comes in two forms: crystallized
intelligence and fluid intelligence. Crystallized
intelligence is stored-up information and how-
to knowledge. This form of intelligence grows
as you age. Fluid intelligence peaks in early
adulthood and then begins to decline gradually
with time. Psychologists now believe that this
form of cleverness can be improved. By setting
aside time to exercise your mind, you can
become more creative, focus better, and solve
problems quicker. Also, find out about the
proper nutrients your brain needs for
enhanced intelligence.
15 Secrets to Increasing I.Q.
1. Be Active
If you don’t exercise regularly, now is a good
time to start. Exercise contributes to overall
physical and mental health. Having a healthy
body leads to development of intelligence.
2. Write
Some people find that a journal is a good way
to organize thoughts. Simple writing helps you
gain a new perspective when you go back and
read what you wrote.
3. Meditate
Research shows that meditation makes you
smarter. Meditation increases the ability of the
brain to make physiological changes, increases
gray and white brain matter, and enables
“whole brain synchronization”. Whole brain
synchronization allows the left side of the
brain to be connected with the right
hemisphere.
4. Think
Involve yourself with books, documentaries, or
board games that require critical thinking
skills. By challenging your current
assumptions, you are making yourself smarter.
5. Read Every Day
Try to read something nonfiction at least 30
minutes each day. Reading increases your
intelligence and keeps you well-informed.
6. Have Hobbies
Do the things you love on a regular basis.
Whether it’s bowling, knitting, or fishing, the
more fun you experience, the easier it will be
for you to assimilate new information.
7. Study I.Q. Puzzles
I.Q. puzzles can be found at your local book
store. To keep your mind sharp, go over these
repeatedly.
8. Be Creative
Create something. Write an ebook, plant
flowers, build a model car. Using your mind to
create something improves your ability to
think.
9. Explore New Cultures
Seek out different worldviews other than your
own. Learn about other culture’s food,
traditions, and language.
10. Play Competitive Games
Chess is a good example of a competitive game
that adds to your cleverness. Log on to the
Internet and play with others around the
world. Facebook offers many competitive
games.
11. Watch Specific TV Shows
Researchers have found that certain TV shows
can help you improve intelligence. Watch
shows that have overlapping plot strands,
moral ambiguity, and a large number of
primary characters.
12. Socially Network
According to a recent report in Discover
Magazine, social interaction enhances synaptic
activity of the brain.
13. Play Video Games
Moms across the world can all give a sigh of
relief. Video games improve math abilities and
classroom behavior.
14. Listen to Music
Recent research studies show there is a
connection between listening to music and
improved memory. Music listening also boosts
skills in science and math.
15. Get Enough Sleep
Most people require between 7 to 8 hours of
sleep each night. This time allows your brain
to process the day by strengthening memories.
10 Foods that can Enhance Your I.Q.
1. Fish Oil
Whether you take supplements or eat wild
salmon (or both), getting fish oil in your diet
makes you smarter. Research shows that
omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil are essential for
brain function.
2. Vitamin B
The B vitamins improve memory and mood.
Studies have shown that people who lack B
vitamins in their bodies have greater mental
decline. To get your Bs, eat turkey, beans,
lentils, and bananas.
3. Breakfast
Dubbed “the most important meal of the day”,
breakfast is brain food. Those who have a well-
balanced breakfast show improved memory,
creativity, focus, and overall performance.
4. Matcha
Matcha is a stone-ground, powered form of
green tea, and it is an excellent food for
increased mental alertness.
5. Antioxidants
These substances combat free-radicals in your
body. To improve memory and problem
solving, eat red kidney beans, blueberries,
cranberries, and artichokes.
6. Ginkgo Biloba
Scientists have found that ginkgo biloba
increases the blood flow to the brain to
increase short-term memory, improve focus,
and reduce dementia.
7. Avocado
This vegetable has monosaturated fat (the good
kind), which increases blood flow. The brain
needs blood to think. What’s more, avacados
help lower blood pressure.
8. Meat and Fish
You find creatine in lean meat and fish. The
body needs this substance for memory and
intelligence. You can also buy creatine
supplements at your local health food store.
9. Vitamin E
The E vitamin is necessary for brain health
because it works as an antioxidant. Research
has shown that Vitamin E delays the onset of
Alzheimer’s disease. Eat leafy green vegetables,
kiwi, and nuts to up your intake of this vital
nutrient.
10. Ginseng
This root improves mental stimulation,
memory, and brain function. One recent
report indicates that ginseng protects the brain
from toxins.
