Do you want to boost your IQ? Check out below tips that I found at The Thinking Business.
Boost your brainpower by feeding your brain ‘brain foods’. Here are 6 tips for an intelligent diet:
1. Balance your glucose - it provides fuel for your brain. Try to eat carbohydrate foods in the evening as it promotes relaxation and sleep.
2. Eat essential fats - ensure your diet is rich in omega-3 fats found in oily fish.
3. Include plenty of protein rich foods in your diet. Proteins are essential to make neurotransmitters which are vital for the thinking process. Try to eat a protein based lunch to optimise your mental performance and alertness throughout the day.
4. Eat foods rich in vitamins and minerals to ‘fine tune’ your mind.
5. Drink 1.5 to 2 litres of water a day to keep your brain well hydrated.
6. Oxygenate your brain by exercising and eating little and often. Eat your main meal before 7pm.
Do you know what is the above? It is a Gingko seed. Gingko is one of the food for the brains. Studies showed that ginkgo works by increasing blood flow throughout the body and brain thus increasing oxygen supply to the brain.
Gingko Biloba (extracted from the Gingko leaf) is also know as herb for the aging brain.
The year-long JAMA study followed 309 patients with Alzheimer’s Disease or dementia caused by loss of blood to the brain. They were given either 120 milligrams per day standardized Ginkgo biloba extract or a placebo. Those receiving ginkgo scored higher on mental and behavioral tests than those on the placebo. Although the improvements were modest, the authors concluded that the standardized ginkgo extract was safe and either stabilized or improved the mental and social functioning of these patients.
What does the above means? Start taking Gingko now to reduce the risk of having the Alzheimer’s Disease.
