Hallo steemian friend wherever you are, health semiga always accompany you. On this occasion I want to share a little knowledge that I know about how to increase brain power. Here's the review..

Looking for ways to improve your intellectual, delay mind aging, and even prolong life? You will be surprised that not only is such a thing going on, and there are still many achievements that you can achieve when done on a regular basis. This development will increase the strength of your brain, make your mental healthier and can even make you become more intelligent.

1. Practice.

Practicing answering a problem increases your brain capacity to the full extent that causes brain nerve cells to thrive, strengthens interconnects and guards them from damage.

  • During training nerve cells release proteins called neurotrophic factors. In particular, referred to as the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), it triggers several chemical reactions that make nerves healthy, and directly benefits cognitive functions, including when learning.

  • Furthermore, practicing provides an effect that keeps your brain strong.

  • Produce compounds to protect the nerves.

  • The flow to the brain becomes more fluent.

  • Improve the development of neurons..

  • Reduce the risk of stroke..

  • A 2010 study in primates published in Neuroscience revealed that regular exercise not only increases blood flow to the brain, but also helps monkeys in learning something twice as fast as untrained monkeys, the researchers believe that this is also true in the human brain.

  • There is still much research showing that exercise improves mitochondria, an organelle that generates energy to every cell in your body, which shows that exercise can make your brain work faster and more efficiently.

  • To get the most out of your workout, a comprehensive program that includes high intensity fitness workouts, strength training, stretching, and core exercises is highly recommended.

2. Eat foods that contain omega-3 fats.

  • Docosahexaenoic acid, or DHA, omega-3 fats, is an essential component of your brain and retina. About 60% of your brain consists of fat - 25% of DHA. DHA is also the main ingredient of breast milk, which is believed when babies who consume breast milk will have a higher IQ than infants who consume infant formula.

  • Omega-3 fats like DHA are considered very important because they can not be produced by the body, and must be obtained from everyday foods. DHA can be obtained from fish, liver, and brain - all of which are no longer consumed by most Americans.

  • High levels of DHA are found in your neurons - the main cells of the nervous system, which are the main providers. When your omega-3 fat intake is inadequate, your nerve cells become stiff and omega-3 fats that can not be obtained will be replaced with cholesterol and omega-6. After your nerve cells become stiff then the transmission of neuro inter cells will also be disrupted.

  • The influence of omega-3 fats on the physical and mental has been the object of research for more than four decades, and there are results obtained that omega-3 fats obtained from animals can reduce mental illness and brain disorders. For example, low levels of DHA are associated with amnesia and Alzheimer's disease.

  • Another interesting thing in a study shows that degenerative conditions can not only be prevented but also potentially the opposite. For example, in one study, 485 elderly volunteers who suffered from lack of memory showed a significant improvement after drinking 900 mg DHA per day for 24 weeks.

  • Other studies found a significant increase in their communication after drinking 800 mg DHA per day for four months compared with placebo.

  • Furthermore, memory and learning rates increased significantly when DHA was combined with 12 mg of lutein per day.

  • A study also shows that the composition of unsaturated fatty acids in normal brain tissue is dependent on age, which as you get older, the greater your animal's omega-3 fat needs in order to prevent mental decline and brain performance.

  • To compensate for the low intake of omega-3 fats, top quality animal omega-3 fats are a supplement that is recommended for everyone, especially when you are pregnant.

  • Crude oil is recommended as a substitute for animal omega-3 fatty acids, because of the metabolic effect of krill oil and "similar" fish oil, krill oil is as effective as fish oil in fact the content of EPA and DHA is slightly less. This is because krill oil absorbs 10-15 times better than fish oil, caused by its molecular composition, and less susceptible to oxidation because it is naturally complexed with fat-soluble astaxantin antioxidants...

That's the least of my knowledge I know about how to improve brain performance. I hope this article is useful for all of you, do not forget how to menungkatkan brain performance part 2 in my next post and do not forget to follow me so you can see my next post in your feed.
