BUILD A SUPER-FAST BRAIN MEGA LIST!
You love to get your tweak on when it comes to optimizing and overclocking your computer, so why wouldn't you want optimal performance out of your brain? Here's what you need to know to increase your intelligence, both in the short and long term. It's all the best tips, tricks, tweaks and secrets for boosting brainpower, all in one place. No cruft, only the good stuff.
Something on the tip of your tongue, and your memory? Get the two hemispheres of your brain talking to each other by shifting your eyes horizontally for 30 seconds. Another way of jarring the memory is by speaking like-minded words out loud, one word after the other, until the word or thought is coaxed out.
Whether it's the steam increasing blood flow to the brain, or the restoring powers of negative ions, a hot shower has a way of firing the frontal lobe on all cylinders. Try it the next time you get a mental block.
Studies from University of Massachusetts Lowell (UML) suggest apple juice can actually "juice" production of the essential neurotransmitter acetylcholine as effectively as some medications, thereby goosing memory. Another fantastic fruit is blueberries, which might be the best anti-oxidant fruit you could eat to prevent toxic free radicals from ravaging your brain like a street thug.
Study after study concludes physical exercise benefits the brain. In fact, the odds of mental deterioration decrease by 13% with every mile a woman walks, says one study.
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences published the findings of UCLA psychologists who state multi-tasking impedes learning. However, this should not be confused with "hybrid activities", which consist of mental engagement plus physical movement in a social environment. Hybrid activities may include learning a new sport, coaching or dancing.
One study showed socially interactive people have a 42% less chance of dementia, so get out there and make friends and influence people.
Avoid garlic. Studies are showing the sulphone hydroxyl ions act as a toxin to human brain cells and desynchronizes brain waves, much in the same way it is harmful to dogs. Those suffering from headaches and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) might also benefit from holding off on garlic in all forms.
Television is the enemy of intelligence. Television appeals to the lowest common denominator with the most cost-effective formulaic programming. Only a handful of transnational media conglomerates own the media in United States now, and they control the flow of information. Television is a medium they use to distract you from the real issues by relentlessly pushing products they own down your throat.
Most older people blame their brains for poor memory, when the culprit is actually the weakening ability to filter out distraction, states the findings of UC Berkeley neurologists. So if your memory sucks, maybe you need to find quieter surroundings.
Sleep is crucial for good memory and concentration, and lead researcher Jan Born, from the Department of Neuroendocrinology at the University of Luebeck in Germany says it can be improved further by about 8% by applying an electric current at a particular frequency during non-rapid-eye-movement (non-REM) sleep.
Caloric-restrictive diets reverse aging of the mind and body by preventing cellular death, and numerous studies on animals have shown it extends life significantly.
Improve mental capacities by a) lowering your blood pressure through vigorous exercise, healthy eating, and eschewing alcohol, b) raising your good HDL cholesterol by avoiding refined carbohydrates, ditching trans fats and exercising your big booty, and c) lowering homocysteine levels by adding vitamins B6 and B12 your diet.
According to a May 2006 article in Neuron, the prospect of future reward enhances one's learning and memory capabilities. If there is an incentive for you to learn, you will learn it quicker. Fear is a contra-incentive, but it tends to be an equally effective motivational tool.
Learn a new language. Bilingual people typically have better focus and longer attention spans than monolingual folk. And no, ebonics doesn't count.

LEARN TO WALK, THEN WALK TO LEARN
You love walking. Instead of wheels, you'd rather take the "heel-toe express" and go for a long healthy stroll across town, right? Didn't think so. Everybody but the elderly thinks walking is L7, unfortunate considering the studies that show walking increases intelligence and comprehension. Learning through motion is called kinesthetic learning, and theories like that of James J. Asher Ph.D., suggest that the way we learned as babies may be the best way to learn now - by internalizing literature and language with physical movements like walking.
To use a common example, a parent communicates via spoken language to the baby, and the baby responds with physical gestures in what's described as language-body conversations. Babies internalize and physically learn how language works before they can even utter a word. Since we all know how quickly babies learn and absorb new information, shouldn't we as adults be utilizing this natural and intuitive method of learning, and exercise our bodies at the same time?
As for the biomechanics, here's why walking makes you smarter:
Over 20% of all oxygen intake of the body is consumed by the brain, and when you furrow your brow in intense concentration, it's more. Now take the physical demands of walking, and oxygen intake goes up again and the brain becomes more alert, perceptive and functional. Depending on the intensity and duration, physical activity like walking can also trigger the secretion of the neurotransmitter serotonin (thereby further enhancing cognitive powers) and endorphins in the brain as well. In this heightened state, you'll have a better chance at understanding concepts and snagging easy-to-overlook details (provided you bring your reading with you). And yes, you'll look like a nerd. Bigtime.
