Otak pun perlu bersenam untuk menajamkan dan menyihatkannya. Orang kata otak cerdas badan cergas. Sini 50 tip aku kopi pasta dari blog Mat Salleh, kopi pasta bulat-bulat. Yang mana melanggar Sunah dan Hukum Islam sila jangan diikut huhuhu...
1)
Meditate — Meditation has been known to increase IQ, relieve stress, and
promotes higher levels of brain functioning. Meditation also activates the
“prefrontal cortex” of the brain, an area responsible for advanced thinking
ability and performance.
2) Draw A
Picture — Drawing stimulates the right-hemisphere of the brain and inspires
creativity. Get out the colored pencils and begin drawing your way to a powerful
brain.
3) Exercise — Long-term exercise has been proven to
increase brain power and even create new neurons in the brain. Go out and get a
natural high off of your own brain chemistry through exercise!
4)
Brainwave Entrainment — Brainwave entrainment is a safe, innovative way to
stimulate and shape the brain and it’s functioning. You can literally build up
more control over your life and harness your brain’s potential!
5)
Avoid Junk Food – Junk food has been proven to decrease energy in the body
and promotes “brain fog.” Cut some junk food from your diet, and reap the
benefits of a more calm, focused brain chemistry.
6) Deep
Breathing — Deep breathing actually increases oxygen levels and blood-flow
to the brain. 10-15 minutes of daily deep breathing can make a huge difference
in the quality of your life and brain’s functioning potential.
7)
Learn A New Language — Learning adds more structure to the brain and
improves the brain’s speech centers. Hablas espanol? It may be time for you to
take a class or program to supplement your job-skills and brain
power!
8) Take Fish Oil — Fish oil supplements are literally like
membrane material for the brain. The 2 primary components of EPA and DHA each
act to strengthen both the emotional center of the brain and boost focus. There
is an increase in overall brain activity after taking fish oil for
awhile.
9) Laugh It Up — Laughter causes a natural release of the
brain’s endorphins — chemicals that drown out pain and increase overall
wellbeing. Laughter is a well known, natural stress reducer. Watch a comedy,
crack a joke, and increase those endorphin levels!
10) Engage In
Debate — A good, healthy debate strengthens the brain’s ability to think
quickly and apply intelligence to verbal situations. Work to build up your brain
power by engaging in plenty of healthy debate. Just ask someone who they are
voting for in the presidential election and you’ll definitely provoke a
debate!
11) Take A Multivitamin — Vitamins are great for the
brain, and if it does not get enough of a certain vitamin through daily diet,
consider a multivitamin. Multivitamins help facilitate the functioning of a
healthy body and enriched brain. Start popping a vitamin each morning for awhile
and chances are good that you’ll notice a difference!
12) Drink Red
Wine — Alcohol in moderation has been proven to be good for the brain. Why?
It is rich in antioxidants — chemicals that actually protect the brain! One
glass daily for women and two for men is generally considered a healthy
amount. minum teh je, ada anti-oksida juga, kalau minum juga. Neraka jawabnya hahaha...
13) Eat Healthy — You know what ‘healthy’ is, so why not
eat healthy and improve your brain? The brain requires a certain amount of
energy to reach it’s maximum level of functioning. Eating chocolate cake and
chips instead of fish and legumes, well maybe that’s why you cannot think
clearly.
14) Change Your Environment — To keep your brain properly
stimulated, it is important to keep changing your environment. Drive a new route
to work, eat at a new restaurant on Friday night. Changing the environment helps
change the brain!
15) Set Goals — Setting goals activates areas of
the brain associated with positive thinking and action. Setting goals is great
for achieving success and prosperity in life and boosting your
brain.
16) Listen To Music — Studies have proven that listening to
music strengthens the right-hemisphere of the brain and literally changes the
structure. Those same studies have found that people who listen to music are
generally smarter and have more emotional intelligence than those who
don’t.
17) Be Empathetic — Being empathetic and trying to
understand the emotions of others is a skill that your brain can learn. Being
empathetic is definitely a powerful trait to have and allows your brain to
relate to the emotions of others.
18) Avoid Stress — A little bit
of stress will never hurt anybody. Too much stress actually causes detrimental
increases in the hormone “cortisol” which in high levels, kills brain cells and
suppresses brain functioning.
19) Think Positive — If you are
currently very good at thinking positively, chances are good that you already
have a more powerful brain than those “Negative Nellies.” Take 10 minutes daily
to think more positive and start noticing an improvement in thinking abilities
and problem solving skills.
20) Brainstorm — A good brainstorming
session to think of new, stimulating ideas is a great way to boost your brains
ability to think creatively. Brainstorming is actually a different way of
thinking that will equip your brain with a quick creative boost.
21)
Write An Article — Writing is linked to an improved memory and expression of
thoughts. When you write, you are strengthening your brain’s natural ability to
convey thoughts and feelings. Writing is a great way to exercise your ability to
analyze and build a thought process with critical thinking. Journals, diaries,
blog entries, and writing stories are phenomenal ways to fulfill your
brain.
22) Visualize — Visualization has been associated with
focus at a deeper level. Many successful athletes that are able to play “in the
zone” actually visualize their game at a deeper level. Visualization has been
linked to lowered stress, increased creativity, and peak mind-body
performance.
23) Get Some Sleep — Be sure to always fulfill your
brain’s need for sleep. Sleep clears out mental clutter and unimportant
thoughts. Getting a good night’s sleep can also be the difference between a
sharp memory and feeling forgetful. Everyone has different sleep requirements,
be sure to fulfill yours! If you don’t get enough sleep — you may want to take a
nap…
24) Do Self-Hypnosis — The power of hypnotic suggestion is
definitely real. You can change aspects of your thought process and learn to
shift your focus by taking the time to do some self-hypnosis. Hypnosis research
shows that by practicing hypnosis, an individual experiences lowered stress,
increased pain tolerance, and clear thinking. Try it out for yourself if you
haven’t already!
25) Do Crossword Puzzles — Crossword puzzles
bring out your brain’s ability to critically think and recall past memories. The
challenge of completing crossword puzzles is definitely mentally invigorating
and stimulating. If you enjoy reading the newspaper, be sure to check out the
daily crossword puzzles section and build up that brain power!
26) Eat
Nuts — Brazil and South American University students swear by eating nuts
before taking exams. They notice that eating them is correlated with an increase
in test scores. New studies are beginning to prove nuts effectiveness at
increasing brain power. If you do not eat a lot of nuts, try it sometime and
reap the brain related benefits!
27) Read Books — Reading books
teaches your brain to adapt to absorb large amounts of information in shorter
periods of time. Books challenge your thinking abilities and memorization
skills, as well as boost vocabulary and critical thinking skills. Not only do
you learn something from reading a book, but your brain power increases as you
build up the book load.
28) Listen To Classical Tunes — Listening
to classical music activates the left hemisphere of the brain, which is why
classical music usually helps students do better in mathematics and writing. If
you haven’t yet tried listening to some Mozart, consider it! Mozart has been
linked to an 80 % increase in spatial intelligence scores!
29) Play
“Brain Age” — New games like “Brain Age” for the nintendo DS and Big-Brain
Academy help promote quick thinking and essential brain skills. These games work
wonderful for improving thinking speed and natural problem solving skills. I’ve
had a chance to play these games before and I can personally vouch for their
effectiveness!
30) Take A Nap – Taking a nap has been proven
through research to significantly improve task-performance and thinking
abilities. If you are feeling tired throughout the day and have time to take a
quick nap, it is recommended. Naps are a wonderful refresher and quick little
mental booster.
31) Turn Off The T.V. – Watching T.V. may not be
the only reason which rotting begins in the brain, but it is a key ingredient to
the rotting process. A little T.V. will never hurt anybody, but it does
definitely change brain functioning. The act of watching T.V. slows brainwaves
and causes a decline in brain fitness.
32) Paint A Picture — Being
able to visualize where you want paint to go on paper sparks pure creativity
from within. Painting is an exercise that gets the right-brain fully functioning
and improves your creative side. If you haven’t tried painting a picture, give
it a shot and notice that you’re likely to feel and be more
creative.
33) Start Crying — Don’t be afraid to cry when the time
is right! Crying actually heals emotions and promotes healthy circulation within
the brain. Those who are able to cry are actually cleansing the inside of their
brain, which is another very healthy way to increase brain power.
34)
Eat Less — Eating too much food has the effect of decreasing blood-flow to
the brain and increasing blood-flow to the digestive system. Therefore, if you
are able to cut-back on the total amount of food you consume, you will have
enhanced brain functioning. In several lab studies, rats on a calorie-restricted
diet had increased blood flow to their brains.
35) Eat Breakfast —
When kids who hadn’t eating breakfast for awhile, began to eat breakfast, their
math grades went up an entire letter grade (on average). Breakfast is probably
the most important meal of the day — it provides your body with fuel for the
rest of the day. If you don’t have time to eat an entire breakfast in the
morning, at least have some sort of snack… It could give your brain a powerful
edge!
36) Go For A Walk — Exercise deifnitely benefits the brain,
and walking is a great form of exercise that is easy and very effective for
boosting brainpower. Walking puts your mind in a relaxed state of clear thought
and brain function. Walking gives your brain a chance to wander and free itself
from any troubling thoughts.
37) Mimic Others — Being able to
mimic other’s actions and talk activates several areas of the brain that are
usually inactive. Mimicing others, if done in a fun, playful manner, can improve
your brain power and the brain’s natural ability to adapt quickly when faced
with new situations.
38) Solve Puzzles — Solving puzzles is a
great way to stimulate your brains ability to critically think and process
information. Puzzles are thought provoking, challenging, and a fun activity. The
great thing about puzzles is that they require activity in the left-hemisphere
of the brain to work with, and transfer information to, the right hemisphere’s
visual center of the brain. Want a more integrated brain? Solve a
puzzle!
39) Do Neurofeedback — Neurofeedback is a great way to
learn to consciously control your brain wave patterns. Neurofeedback builds
brain structure and helps promote flexibility within a brain’s neural network.
Though neurofeedback is somewhat costly, if you’ve got enough money — it may
very well be the best investment you can make for your brain!
40) Cut
Alcohol Consumption — Alcohol in moderation isn’t terrible for the brain,
too much alcohol is damaging to brain health and function. If you want to boost
brain power, cutting alcohol is a great way to do it. Alcohol can cause memory
problems and encourage “foggy,” disorganized thinking.
41) Live A
Drug-Free Lifestyle — Everyone knows that drugs are bad for them. Drugs do
not foster creativity, they kill creativity and deplete brain cells. Depending
on the drug, effects can range from brain bleeding, to cell loss, to impairments
in neural growth. Live drug free and keep your brain more
powerful!
42) Drink Fruit Juice — Drinking fruit juice revitalizes
the brain and provides cells with a refreshing jolt of nutrients. Great juices
to drink include: grape juice, orange juice, cranberry juice, and apple juice.
Most juices provide your brain with vital nutrients which in turn, provide you
with more mental energy and focus.
43) Be Self-Aware — When you
learn to let go of ego-driven and emotional aspects of life, rational thinking
kicks in. Rational thinking will allow you to become self-aware, which in turn
allows you to make better future decisions to achieve optimal brain health.
Activities like meditation, self-hypnosis, and introspection allow us to
increase our self-awareness.
44) Take Gingko Biloba — Gingko
Biloba has been scientifically researched and documented to significantly
increase blood-flow to the brain. Gingko Biloba is a farily inexpensive way to
pump up your brain’s blood-flow. Increased bloodflow to the brain is correlated
with an increase in focus and problem solving. Try some Gingko Biloba and allow
your brain to reap the benefits!
45) Have Sex — Having sex is a
great way to naturally release vital hormones in the brain. When involved in a
loving relationship, having sex improves social connection as well as emotional
intelligence. Sex is connecting, stress-relieving, and a great way to give your
brain a boost. Chances are that sex will also improve your confidence and
ability to think positively!
46) Drink Caffeine — Research shows
that students that drink coffee before exams, have higher scores. Why? Caffeine
seems to stimulate activity in the brain, speed up thinking, and improve focus.
Too much caffeine is never good as it can cause stress or trigger anger. A
little bit, however, may be the ticket to an “A” on your test. Drink some and
find out how it affects your focus and thinking abilities!
47) Sniff
Some Basil — I personally haven’t tried this method, but there seem to be
many claims testifying for Basil’s effectiveness at improving overall brain
function. Either way, certain fragrances actually change brain functioning.
Taking a whiff of peppermint speeds up brain functioning, while other fragrances
actually slow things down! Since scent is the strongest thing tied to memory,
some good fragrances can definitely help out brain functioning.
48)
Stay In School — If you are in school, chances are good that you will boost
your brain power more than the average dropout! Keeping up with school work,
means giving your brain a good workout in areas of self-discipline, learning,
and mental processing. Stay in school, or do something to always be learning
something new!
49) Ask Questions — Asking questions is a
phenomenal way to keep your brain in shape. Get in the habit of questioning
others and their thoughts. Questions can provoke new thoughts and ideas and
asking them is a great way to build up brain power!
50) Re-Read This

highlighting several methods that you can apply to your life. As a matter of
fact, print this list out and staple it up someplace that you will view
everyday. That way, when walking past the list, you can take a glance and
