TIP OF THE DAY
8 Easy Ways to Boost Your IQ

Quality Health News

1. Eat smart.
Consuming certain foods not only improves your health; it may also boost your brainpower. Oily fish, like salmon, sardines are all high in brain-enhancing omega-3 fatty acids. Other smart choices include leafy green vegetables, blueberries, strawberries, eggs, almonds, and turmeric.

2. Take time out.
According to experts, just closing your eyes and meditating for a half hour a day is enough to recharge your brain. In fact, it may be more effective than napping. A study revealed that subjects who took a late-afternoon test after meditating for 30 minutes had higher scores than those who napped for the same time.

3. Don't be a slave to technology.
Computers, cell phones, and BlackBerrys are all designed to make you more efficient, but according to some experts, an overreliance on these gadgets could have the opposite effect.

4. Get your z's.
According to experts, every hour of sleep you lose translates to a temporary IQ loss of one point.

5. Learn something new.
Discovering a foreign language, learning how to play an instrument, or reading a new book are great ways to improve your cognitive function. Plus, these kinds of activities challenge your mind to think beyond your usual day-to-day routine. Other IQ-enhancing pastimes include crossword puzzles and Sudoku.

6. Listen to music.
Researchers gave two groups of college students IQ tests. One group, who listened to Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos in D-major beforehand, scored seven to 10 points higher than the control group, who listened to nothing.

7. Play games.
Certain competitive activities, like chess, pool, poker, and some video games, can improve your ability to think strategically. According to experts, these pastimes may also sharpen your math and logic skills.

8. Keep moving.
Exercise boosts mental acuity by improving circulation and releasing chemicals that enhance your creativity, reaction time, and information retention.
