It is foolish to expect that by eating a kilo of carrots or standing for an hour on his head, you will be able to prove Fermat’s theorem. It is unrealistic in the same way as any exercise can make the first breast size is not what sex "watermelons", but even in the melon-"kolkhoz".
But persistent exercise is quite possible to help his chest for a long time to keep the pristine beauty, the joy of not only his mistress. That’s the same with our brainpower …
What is the mind, just yet knows. But well aware that it "does not know what" is the result of biochemical processes in brain cells. Which require lots of things – from a sufficient amount of energy and oxygen to tiny doses of a chromium, without which, nevertheless, well, they can. Expressed in the brain constant attention, you can always keep your mind in shape. Is not that enough?
How is
A person can go without food for over a month. At the 7 th and 10 th day of the existence of a head suddenly gets an unprecedented lightness, and thought – clarity. However, if you just forgot to eat breakfast, this effect can not count. To your "factory of the mind" to work fully, it needs to ensure uninterrupted supply of energy. Otherwise, the brain cells at once into a state of "sit-in" – the main duties performed, but no more.
Rule number 1. If you head to work on a full program, do not forget to eat on time:
Eat at least 4 times per day, even better – 6;
If you vodish car, be sure to have breakfast. The feeling of hunger may cause a weakening of attention, as well as to provoke a sudden dizziness;
try not to miss the usual time of eating and not bring themselves to widespread famine. Correct consequences ( "inadequate" job of the brain) is always more difficult than simply avoid them;
always keep in her purse a small NC, which you can eat, stuck somewhere in the negotiations or in a traffic jam.
As an energy source, people can use almost any organic food. However, brain cells as a source of food is recognized only glucose (well here are they had been grown), the main supplier of which are carbohydrates. So here is a wonderful chicken breast can leave your brain at all hungry. Of course, the body is not a barbarian of some that, when plump stomach to make the brain cells (tea not strangers) suffer from hunger.
So if necessary, he may draw back the biochemical reactions that do turn juicy meat and tasty zhirok the former chicken in a sufficient quantity of glucose. But exactly in order not to bang into a faint and not to forget how much you today to go to the hairdresser.
Rule number 2. For maximum mental performance feed themselves carbohydrates:
keep in his desk with a bag of dried fruit. They are able to quickly provide the necessary glucose to your brain, but much more useful than just sugar or candy. Thus you can perfectly complement their own lunch, if it contains little carbohydrate;
do not resist, if you suddenly felt an urge for dessert. It is possible that your brain urgently need more energy;
Eat more fruits, they have a lot of carbohydrates and at the same time, few calories.
Carbohydrates are different. Simple – it is virtually all that bad: sugar, candy, ice cream, pastry, chocolate, jam and other tasty things. Despite the fact that they constitute almost one continuous glucose to the brain that food is still "no sugar". Fast splitting up of the desired substance, simple carbohydrates causes the body condition of all hands on deck. First, glucose becomes too much and throws the body with fright at its recycling all their insulin forces. Then – too little. "And to eat?" "- Ask at this point the nerve cells.
It is quite another complex carbohydrates – is porridge, bread made of coarse flour, pasta of the same flour, corn, vegetables, legumes and other, in principle, completely edible things.Entering into our stomach, they do not strive to immediately decompose to glucose, but prefer to digest to the desired state slowly and sedately. Thereby ensuring uninterrupted "recharge" brain cells.
Rule number 3. For long-term maintenance of peak mental performance feed themselves complex carbohydrates:
next time you have to have on the go, try instead of buns, chocolates or chips to buy a bag of black crackers, rye cake or a couple of bananas. Also tasty;
if you are very hungry, eat first, some simple carbohydrates – is "calm down" the cells of the brain and allow you not to eat "whole elephant";
pasta – great food for breakfast, if you do not know when the next time you will eat. And true that on them grow fat;
cereal – a successful combination of simple and complex carbohydrates. They may have not only for breakfast but also throughout the day. Squeezed juice or yogurt
Of course, people can eat only one glucose – but not for long. Since the cells in our body need not only a source of energy, but also in the mass of other useful substances. The brain is no exception. Therefore, for his successful work needed and proteins, and fats (especially fish), and the more vitamins with trace elements.
Rule number 4. If you want to think clearly, and fed in various ways:
not get hung up on the same conventional products. Always added to the diet for something new;
if you constantly "cut" your diet, make sure you take vitamin complexes and special food supplements;
eat fish as often as possible. It contains a substance, activating the brain works, and iodine – its deficiency leads to a weakening of mental activity.
The human body can exist without water for about a week. It is somewhere on the second or third day, the brain begins to fail, periodically replacing the objective reality of hallucinations and delusions. In ordinary life, until we, of course, itself no argument. But the water, we could easily be missed, resulting in "foggy" head, scattered thoughts, nekontsentrnrovannym attention and poor memory.
Rule number 5. To maintain its head in good working order drinks on the day of at least 1.5 liters of water.
Most carbonated beverages contain substances that contribute to further "dehydration" of brain cells. Replacing them with mineral water. Drink freshly squeezed juices. They are perfectly quench thirst, nourish the brain cells, as well as provide you the necessary vitamins and microelements.
The human body can exist without oxygen for about thirty minutes, hours, and possibly even more. But it does not matter, because the brain cells in this situation can hold no more than 10-15 minutes. Not by chance after this period resuscitation person is considered inappropriate.
Nevertheless, our brain can suffer from lack of oxygen, even in the presence of uninterrupted breathing. For example, if you laid down his nose. Or are you the whole day sitting in a stuffy crowded room. Or working heater – even the good imported a copy takes on a "respectable amount of oxygen. Not surprisingly, the eyes are stuck together, and my thoughts are confused.
Rule number 6. If you want to have a bright head, more "breathe oxygen":
do not forget to ventilate the room where you spend a lot of time;
If you have installed windows at home, then twice a day need to open the window completely at least for a few minutes – it is necessary for proper air exchange;
заведи a dog and walked with her as possible three times a day.
Since in the brain no arms or legs, he is unable to walk independently for aerobics classes in the mornings or do light exercise. So he can only count on you. First, when performing any exercise you are increasing circulation throughout the body and enrich the blood with oxygen, which contributes to the metabolism in every cell of your brain.
Secondly, the signals received by the central management of the working muscles, stimulate the corresponding department of the cerebral cortex. Therefore, uniformly loading the muscles of his body, you are thereby "explore" and the brain.
Rule number 7. If you want to keep your mind young and cheerful, in sports:
If you have a long sit (at work or at home), from time to time to perform exercises for the head, tilting it to the side and back and forth. This will alleviate strain the neck muscles and improve cerebral blood circulation;
series of long work of the mind (eg, preparing for the exam, thesis or "hovering" on the Internet) with the work of the body, performing periodic five-minute warm-up.
They say if you do not mind, it is already and will not, no matter how you try. Perhaps. At the same time, even the most acute mind can become quite blunt in his likeness, if it does not always practice. And vice versa. According to the research of U.S. scientists, people involved in the life of constant mental labor, much longer retain the clarity of thought, than their peers, few working head. Regularly loading their brain, you can even improve their original natural data. If, of course, there is a need.
Rule number 8. If you want to have a flexible mind, moving convolutions:
aim to learn all the European languages. This is impressive. Well, at least some. One example …
help his younger brother (if it is, of course) to prepare for the test in chemistry;
Take the instruction to your mobile phone and finally learn to use all the functions laid down in it;
at worst – to solve crossword puzzles.
"Smart" products:
orange, pineapple – all serve to focus;
lentils – in addition to large quantities of complex carbohydrates provides amino acids necessary for rapid biochemical processes in the brain cells. Provides mental clarity and increases the speed of thought;
Onions – contributes to a better saturation of the brain cells of oxygen (rather halves of onions per day);
Garlic – contains substances that activate the brain cells. With long-term use improves memory and prevents age-related changes of the brain;
fish – contains choline and lecithin. They participate in the elaboration of acetylcholine – a substance that requires an additional amount of brain cells during prolonged strenuous work;
kefir or yogurt – normalize brain function and reduced cell metabolism;
peanuts and dates – contain dopamine. This substance activates the mental reactions;
Brussels sprouts – increases ability to concentrate.
