Life continually throws up tasks that require flexibility of mind, quick wits and ingenuity. The human brain, like muscles, requires constant training, otherwise the ability to cope with problems and unusual situations will gradually weaken.
Instruction manual
one
The most effective and widely known way to develop intelligence is, of course, study. Gnawing holes in the "granite of science", you arrange an excellent training for your own brain. To improve memory, begin to memorize verses of your favorite Russian poets, as well as memorize the words of a foreign language. When reading a book, do not just get carried away with the plot, but also pay attention to the author’s idea, the drawing of heroes and the use of speech means. Having met an unfamiliar word, do not be lazy to look at its meaning in the dictionary, expanding your vocabulary.

Try to perform the usual actions with a second, not working hand. If you are right-handed, then hold a spoon, fasten and unfasten clothes, draw with your left hand, if left-handed, then vice versa. Gradually complicate the task. This exercise helps energize both hemispheres.
3
Discard the TV. While watching numerous talk shows, TV shows, and just aimlessly “clicking” channels, brain resources are completely unused. In addition, the flickering of the screen, the quick change of pictures and sound accompaniment do not allow the nervous system to relax. That is why a couple of hours spent in front of the TV lead to a feeling of emptiness.

Read the classics. If your acquaintance with the masterpieces of world literature was limited to the school curriculum, then the time has come to catch up. Good books teach you to correctly express your thoughts, build logical chains and, in addition, help expand your vocabulary. Experiencing along with the heroes of artwork, you will develop not only your intellect, but also emotionality.
5
Get enough sleep. Sleep is a kind of "reset" of the brain. Therefore, for his good work, you need to spend in bed at least 8 hours a day. If possible, then an afternoon rest should be added to night sleep. By snoozing for an hour, you will allow the brain to better absorb the information received during the morning hours, as well as prepare for new knowledge. And then clarity of mind will remain until the evening.

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 you have to love sea fish: mackerel, halibut, salmon. Coarse flour bread, cauliflower, egg yolk are sources of B vitamins necessary for the full development of intelligence. Vitamin "C" increases the speed of thinking, "A" - helps to improve concentration. Therefore, the menu must necessarily contain citrus fruits, green apples, carrots and dairy products.
