Increase Your IQ Right Now
You can increase your IQ (intelligence quotient) in the next
ten minutes. There are many brain power exercises and techniques
designed to help you long-term, but what if you need a quick
brain fix right now? What if there is an important meeting
coming up, or a crucial test, or just a chess game you don't
want to lose? Can you really boost your IQ quickly? If what you
want is results, and not an argument about the definition of
intelligence, the answer is absolutely yes.Try some of the
following.
Breath To Increase IQ
Breath deep. This is one of the easiest and most effective ways
to improve the functioning of your brain immediately. By
breathing deeply we relax and put more oxygen in the
blood (therefore in the brain), both of which help. Relaxation
has been proven to improve brain function. Low oxygen levels in
the blood have been shown to decrease it. Since most of us are
in the habit of breathing too shallowly, this is a quick way to
increase IQ. By the way, if you breath through your nose, you
are more likely to breath deeply.
Meditating also helps, primarily because of the deep breating
aspect. The state of mind achieved through a simple
breath-watching meditation allows true relaxation, and is
conducive to creative problem solving. Just close your eyes and
breath through your nose, deeply at first, then in whatever way
is comfortable. As thoughts arise, dismiss them and return your
attention to your breath. Do this for at least a few minutes.
Move Your Body To Increase IQ
Sit up straight, and close your mouth. Good posture affects our
state of mind, and helps us to think more clearly. Try an
experiment to prove this to yourself. Do math problems in your
head; first while slouching, with your mouth open; then while
sitting up straight with your lips together. You'll get the
point.
Exercise a little. Physical activity-just enough to get the
blood pumping-can "wake up" your brain enough to help you think
better. Walking seems to work best, but any aerobic activity can
help increase your IQ.
Sleep well. You knew this one, right? Just remember, the
evidence shows us that the quality of sleep is very important,
not just the quantity.
What You Eat Can Increase Or Decrease your IQ
Consume ginkgo biloba. Whether in capsules or tea or off a
neighbors tree, ginkgo leaves have been shown to increase blood
flow to the brain, helping memory and concentration. The effect
is quick, and doesn't seem to diminish with regular use.
Drink coffee. Everything from test scores on college exams to
chess games have been shown to improve after a cup of coffee or
other drink containing caffeine. It is a temporary effect,
however, and caffeine may have adverse long-term effects for
regular users.
Avoid Sugar. Actually any simple carbohydrates taken in large
quantities can give you that sluggish feeling that makes it
difficult to think. This is due to the insulin that is dumped
into your veins after the sugar is. Don't eat white flour,
sugar, potatoes, and other carbs before an important meeting.
Results - Not Definitions
Let the "experts" argue about whether you can increase IQ or
not, in any absolute sense. We know the tests measure your IQ at
a moment in time, and you know that there are times when you
would score higher or lower. What you want is a real improvement
in brain function. If you slept well, exercised, drank coffee
and ginkgo tea, then sat up straight and breathed deeply as you
took the test, don't you think you would score a few points
higher on an intelligence quotient test? More importantly,
wouldn't you be better prepared for whatever mental tasks you
faced.?
