| How To Be Smart |
I know you want to be smart. And if you're smart, you have to protect your brain to stay smart. There is a way:
1.) Eat brain food or foods that are good for the brain. Studies have shown that eating a diet helps (1) a handful of nuts daily because it has good oils that increase serotonin levels, (2) fatty fish such as tilapia, sardines and salmon with omega-3 , (3) olive oil and avocado with omega-3, and (4) dark chocolate with flavonoids that keep our roots young.
2.) Use the brain regularly. Answer crossword puzzles and Sudoku. Play chess. Try multiplying or calculating by mind and never use a calculator. Activate your brain.
3.) Go online and search on Google. There is a review that shows that surfing the internet is brilliant. Whether young or old, brain scans have shown that using the internet activates our brain.
4.) Avoid alcohol and vices. Drinking too much alcohol reduces brain cells. Your memory is failing. There is a disease called "alcoholic dementia." This means that the patient becomes lethargic because his brain is exposed to alcohol. Also avoid smoking and vigilance.
5.) Work hard to study even when you are having a hard time. Even if you do not understand your lesson well, you will still be patient with it. In English class, just read a book. In Mathematics, practice answering questions to become proficient. Soon, you will be surprised and you will understand.
6.) Dream or day dream. Yes, it's okay to be awake. If your dream is to become a pilot, a lawyer or a doctor, think about how it can be. According to psychologists, when you are always looking for something, your brain and body will make way for it to come true. All those who succeed have only begun with a dream.
7.) Protect your head. Do not let your head bump or punch. Wear a helmet while on a motorcycle, sports or work. Older people, be careful when walking and you may fall down and bump your head.
8.) Take a vitamin B complex with folic acid. According to the new study, taking the vitamin B complex may slow down Alzheimer's disease and forgetfulness. Not only that, in pregnancy, you need to take vitamin B with folic acid to prevent your child from developing brain damage (neural tube disorder).
9.) And last of all, monitor your blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar. All of these need to be normal in order to maintain good blood flow to your brain. If you have any problems, see your doctor.
