Thinking process is continuous. We constantly reflect and solve challenging puzzles of life. Sometimes it is necessary to help your brain speed up the cognitive processing. How to do it? Try the following tips.
1. Coffee
Caffeine helps you focus on labor-intensive tasks and accelerates cognitive processes. Of course, it doesn’t mean that coffee will make you more intelligent. Caffeine temporarily makes our brain work more efficiently, but drinking coffee all the time can be harmful to other organs (for example, stomach).
2. Wine
Scientists have found that wine also accelerates cognitive processes due to the presence of antioxidants. But here it should be noted that it is good to drink this alcoholic beverage only in moderation; only in such case it will have a positive impact on the brain and overall physical health.
3. Sunlight
The abundance of sunlight can be harmful to the skin, but not to the brain. Researchers believe that higher levels of vitamin D (which is produced by sunlight) can slow down the brain aging.
4. “Wandering Mind”
In order to “unload” your brain, you can perform simple brain tasks, daydream, or recall interesting and funny cases. After such little rest, your mind will clear and you will be more efficient.
5. Mental search for things
Mental search for items is very useful for the brain. In order to increase the efficiency of this exercise you can say your actions out loud.
6. Dancing
Some studies have shown that dancing and other examples of leisure activities reduce the risk of dementia. Such activities keep your body and mind in tension, teach you to make quick decisions and adopt new behaviors.
7. Food
Not all the food is good for the brain. Which ones can enhance the cognitive processes? These are products that contain glucose, fatty acids, amino acids and antioxidants. Experts advise to eat nuts, blueberries, avocados, and whole grains.
8. Playing Tetris
The game of Tetris develops memory, improves the response, and positively affects various cognitive processes in general.
9. Physical exercise
Many people believe that bodybuilders or athletes are less intelligent than, for example, post-graduate students. However, studies show positive effects of physical exercise on cognitive function. If you are not an athletic type, try regular walking, which also can be rather useful.
10. Hunger
Scientists at the Yale School of Medicine made tests on mice and found that more hungry individuals perform cognitive tasks much better.
