Do you want to have a super brain? I do
I am not a doctor ( i only consider old doctors opinions) buy i read a lot, really a lot and i tend to pay attention of what successful people do.My simple receipt for a super brain is:
1.A bit of exercise every day. Note the word every. I am not talking about of what i do racing and training pretending to be a pro. No i am talking of walking and do some exercises in front of the mirror every morning. It's enough. there is scientific support for that idea. Recent studies have shown, he says, that “regular exercise, even walking,” leads to more robust mental abilities, “beginning in childhood and continuing into old age.”
2.Fast. Yes shock your body time to time. skip one meal or two. No harm in that (i do it all the time, normally breakfast). wake up the animal inside you. don't feed him every time
A bit of science:
1.This randomized clinical trial demonstrates the efficacy of aerobic exercise for cognition in adults age 20–67. The effect of aerobic exercise on executive function was more pronounced as age increased, suggesting that it may mitigate age-related declines. Increased cortical thickness suggests that aerobic exercise contributes to brain health in individuals as young as age 20.
From the paper: Effect of aerobic exercise on cognition in younger adults
2.When our bodies fast, we begin to mobilize glycogen from the liver and the muscles. When our glycogen stores are depleted, our metabolism shifts and we start to mobilize fat and use it to create ketones, a source of energy that powers the brain in a different way, helping it to function more efficiently. Beta-HBA, the principal ketone, has been shown to be a super-fuel that produces ATP energy more efficiently than glucose.
Not only does Beta-HBA protect neuronal cells from toxins associated with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, it also improves antioxidant function, increases the number of mitochondria, and stimulates the growth of new brain cells.
