Simple ways to improve your brain performance

Studying for exams, starting a new job, beginning to forget things - whatever stage in life we are at we could all do with improving our brain performance to keep us at the top of our game.

So what can we do to ensure that we sharpen our mental clarity and perform at our best? These top tips will help you focus your mind and boost brainpower and maybe even finish a crossword puzzle or two!

Excercise

Getting active not only helps your body but it also helps your brain. Studies have shown that exercise, particularly aerobic exercise can increase brain volume and help improve cognitive function. One study even showed that just half an hour of exercise improved an adult brain processing speed. So if you want to get into MENSA get out those running shoes!

Brain workouts

Not only does your body benefit from some exercise, so does your brain. Giving your brain something different to think about stimulates the receptors and can slow brain deterioration. Try learning a new language, a musical instrument, or taking a course. Not only does it help your brain but you may learn something and have some fun!

Sleep

For most people, a good 7 hours of sleep is needed to maintain good cognitive skills. A study at Brown University confirmed that sleep locks in learning by sigma waves that are most prevalent when you sleep. So if you needed an excuse to stay in bed longer - here it is!!

Brain Boosting Diet

A good Mediterranean style diet is good for the brain, people who consume a diet high in fish, leafy green vegetables, nuts, and plant proteins are less likely to develop cognitive impairment. In fact, research has shown that this type of diet can slow down cognitive decline in adults and can help improve brain function.

Laugh and have some fun

We all love a laugh but the great news is that it is also good for us. Research shows that laughing releases endorphins that help us relax, relieve stress, and enhance cognitive functioning. So go on watch that comedy show read those joke books and play those pranks- its all good for the brain!
