It's not a good idea to let people do things for you.  For example, if you don't know how to create a good powerpoint then get someone to show you how to do it.  That way you can learn to do it and you don't have to rely on other people.

Socialising, to talk or get together with friends daily, is what I support to maintain a healthy brain. A single day without keeping touch with ours is almost a waste of time. It is said that having a strong network helps to live a long positive life.

I can’t understand people who only eat, work, watch the TV and sleep. Monotonous and non-challenging routine is the key to die by boring. It happens slowly, deeply, so we should be awake to overcome the established.

From my point of view, the best way to boost our brain is to keep our lives well-ordered. The brain works better when it can recover from tiredness. Sleeping enough lets the brain to settle new knowledge learnt. On the other hand, it´s ready to do things that will boost your brain, things like memorize new words, learn geography names, figure out scientific challenges or play a musical instrument. Do not forget to eat healthy food and do physical exercise, which are key factors to leverage your action plan to boost your brain.

There are two ways. The first one is to stop of not doing and complaining about the own brain. This is, start reading, start studying any amazing subject, start doing physical exercise, start socializing, … The second one is to stop doing wrong things. This is, stop drinking alcohol, stop smoking cigars, stop eating fat food, stop being seated watching TV for a long time, … Different ways to get the same result.

I've just read that the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells, and we all know that excessive intake of alcohol kills the brain cells but naturally the slowest and weakest first, so with these two sentences we can conclude that regular consumption of beer or wine eliminate the weaker brain cells, making the brain faster and more efficient.

Now I know why I feel smarter after some beers ;))

In my view, keeping your mind in calm helps to boost your brain power. Stillness gives the power of reconnect yourself through disconnect your brain. Meditation is one of the best way to get it. Every day, like a sport, you take your time for a while, just listening your body instead of your mind. After few days you can observe how your brain is more clever and creative. It needs to rest so as to make up its neuronal connections.

Honestly, there is one important thing to avoid doing: Being around people who have negative mindset and behaviour. Those who are continuously moaning of everything, give off a bad vibes. You must avoid them.

I recommend you to train your brain with cognitive exercises as puzzles or mental quizzes. I usually take 15 min per day to do it with a very amused app named Lumosity.

Researching the efficacy of Lumosity

What we did

Lumos Labs conducted a randomized study of Lumosity brain training and published the results in a peer-reviewed research journal.

In it, half of the 4,715 participants who completed the study trained five days per week, for fifteen minutes each day on Lumosity while the other half did online crossword puzzles as an active control.

What we found

After 10 weeks, Lumosity users improved more than the control group on our assessments of working memory, short term memory, processing speed, problem solving, fluid reasoning, and overall cognitive function.

These results are promising, but more research is needed to determine the connection between improved assessment scores and everyday tasks in participants' lives.

Next questions

Future research should address the risk of inadvertent experimenter bias and the risk of attrition bias in this study, as both the Lumosity and crossword groups had approximately 50% attrition rate. As with all scientific research, there is also a risk of publication bias.
