4 Maximum Brain Power Tips

An acclaimed public speaker, savvy internet marketing expert, an award winning photographer, a praised life and business coach and a humble servant of the Lord Jesus Christ through various ministries including prayer counseling, career building, softball and bible teaching, I am often asked how I do it all with such a high level of success.

I like to think it has to do with my brain. I have my mom Marie-Ange to thank for this. She made certain the building blocks in my brain stemmed from a wide variety of smart foods in spite of the fact we struggled with poverty throughout my early childhood. My mother also made certain my brain was stimulated and got plenty of rest.

The human brain is the soul of the human nervous system. It controls involuntary activities such as respiration, digestion, and heartbeat, which are also known as automatic functions of the body. This organ also controls other conscious activities that are considered as higher order activities like reasoning, abstraction, and thought. The human brain is superior to any other brain of any other living species that are known to humankind.

The brain is also the center by which other human characteristics are defined. Creativity, for example, is much associated with the brain. So is personality. The brain lets us make decisions and define colors and smells. This organ controls every other perceived activity of the human body.

However, the human brain, as strong and as invincible as it may look, is not going to stay that way forever. As with any other part of the body, the human brain will wither in the future. One’s lifestyles and all other external factors will take toll against the human brain. As one grows old, the human brain will become slower in terms of functioning and rejuvenating itself. However, there are ways on how to enhance the power of the human brain as age catches up. This article tries to give some useful tips on how to do just that.

1. Live a healthy lifestyle.

The brain is an integral part of the human anatomy. Aside from the heart, it is probably the most important organ in the body; but of course, we all know that every other organ in the body works in tune with others to function properly. The human brain is subject to the lifestyle of the person who owns it. If the person consumes drugs or  alcohol, he may not fully reap the powers of his brain. Drugs, alcohol and other dangerous substances destroy brain cells. The brain is a lifetime organ, so we must preserve and protect it.

2. Eat the right foods.

Eating the right sets of food will definitely benefit the brain. Studies show the brain is the most active part of the body. Even when one sleeps, the brain remains active and vibrant.

Eating a balanced diet featuring smart foods will allow brain cells to regenerate faster. Byproducts of smart foods are enhanced creativity, resourcefulness, awareness and intuition.

No matter the quality of one’s diet, complementing food intake with fish oil, multivitamins, herb or mineral supplements is key to brain health.

3. Engage in proper exercise.

Proper exercise is good for the brain and not only for the body. The human brain needs a well-balanced life and a consistent flow of oxygen. In many cases exercise can be used to relieve or eliminate stress. Exercise is also a popular remedy for insomnia and other sleep related conditions. When it comes to your brain, exercise goes a long way.

4. Release stress.

Releasing stress is necessary to be able to clear the brain from all the concerns and the worries in one’s life. Relaxing techniques such as prayer, self-hypnosis and listening to ambient music rank among the most efficient ways to relieve stress.

For optimum brain health, one must also take time to relax and ensure sufficient rest. Studies show napping and undisturbed sleep are key elements of a healthy brain no matter the age.

The brain is an organ to be cherished. No individual will ever be able to live his life to the fullest or fulfill his God given mission if his brain is not functioning optimally.
