Physical Exercise
To
Increase Brainpower
There are many physical exercises you can
do to help you to increase your brain power. However,
to increase your intelligence permanently
will require certain permanent shifts in your lifestyle and
thinking. This article is an introduction
to "physical" training where your brainpower will
increase as your fitness does. Below you will find some helpful tips
to successfully implement this part within your overall
brain training program:
1. Physical exercise is an
excellent way to improve the overall function of your nervous system
and brain.
Not only does a better
circulatory system lead to increased blood flow to the brain, but it
also leads to a widening of the arteries which provide blood to it.
The effects of this is that artery widening through carbon dioxide
flow is permanent, so your brain will be able to take on new
resources permanently through exercise.
2. Train towards a
particular goal.
There should be a
particular mental peak which you are aiming at, and you should
implement a training program in order to reach this goal. Goal
setting is important, because it allows you to operate at your peak
and get the required work done. This is how physical efficiency is
created, so that you have mental efficiency as well.
3. Focus on physical exercises & sports
you like and which will get your heart pumping.
You can choose anything from athletics to team sports
to solo running to swimming. These will help you to improve spatial
intelligence, perception, hand to eye movement co-ordinating,
acuity, concentration and mental alertness. Sports which are
particular noted for
increasing intelligence are running, rowing and under water
swimming. Stay away from sports which are violent as this could lead
to potential mental problems and disorders later on.
4. Be consistent in your training
program.
Our objective is not to win the
Olympics. Our objective is to increase our intelligence and IQ by
increasing our health. This means doing a moderate level of activity
on a consistent basis. After a while, we will no longer need to
train at all, because the permanent changes we are looking for will
have taken place. A consistent program would be one you have
followed for at least 6 months. The intelligence increase after this
time will be both noticeable and permanent. This is because you
have managed to widen your arteries sufficiently
to make the enhanced links to your brain
permanent.
What To
Expect
You can expect a 10-15 IQ points increase from
regular exercise and training. This
is well worth it because it's easy and can quickly fit in with your
lifestyle. After 6 months, you can continue with your training
program for the health benefits if you so wish.
