There are many activities that can keep the brain healthy, such as playing games, reading, exercise, meditation, listening to music, writing, painting, and getting proper food, supplements, rest, and sleep. These activities stimulate the brain in different ways like improving memory, problem solving, emotional intelligence, focus, creativity, and cognitive abilities. Regular mental and physical stimulation through various brain-boosting activities is proven to increase brainpower and may even generate new brain cells.

2. There are many activities which will keep our
brain in top condition.
Playing games that stimulate brain
Reading
Exercise
Meditation
Listening to music
Writing, painting
Food & supplements
Rest and sleep

3. Play games that challenge & stimulate
your mind, such as:
* Picture Puzzles Playing SUDOKU
* Strategy Games found to improve
* Crossword Puzzles brain power,
* Card Games particularly in old
people.
* Deduction Games
(such as Clue)
* Visualization
Puzzles
Optical Illusions

4. Reading stimulates the brain as it activates
your imagination Helps with memory
retention and problem solving, reading a
mystery self-help books stimulate your brain
by helping you to think for yourself, as well
as find solutions in your mind.

5. Exercising helps circulate blood that carries
oxygen to your brain Exercise over a long
period is proven to increase brainpower and
even create new neurons .
Deep breathing for as little as 10 minutes
daily delivers more oxygen to the brain and
improves its functionality Walking allows you
to clear your mind and thoughts. Not only is
it good exercise for your body, walking gives
your brain a chance to wander freely, clearing
it of any troublesome thoughts.

6. Stimulate your brain with meditation. During
meditation, people typically rest in a quiet
location and focus their mind on a particular
thought or activity
Meditation increases IQ, relieves stress
Promotes a higher level of brain functioning
Stimulates the pre-frontal cortex, the area of
the brain, which is responsible for advanced
thinking ability & performance Alleviates
physical problems, like controlling pain and
symptoms of chronic diseases

7. It is proven that listening to music
strengthens the right hemisphere of the brain
and changes its structure. People who listen
to music are shown to be more emotionally
intelligent than those who don’t.

• 1993 - College students who listened to the Mozart Sonata for Two
Pianos in D Major (K.448)
• Short-term subsequent enhancement of their spatial-temporal (ST)
reasoning (making a mental image and thinking ahead in space and
time, as in chess, music or math).
• 1997 - 3 year-olds given piano keyboard training for six months
showed long-term ST reasoning enhancement.

Results of Research
◦ Evidence has been reported in 26 of 27 studies that were done to
duplicate the effect.
◦ Effect is cross-species (occurs in rats brains as well),
◦ Music impacts neural firing patterns in epileptics as demonstrated in
PET scans (improved spatial reasoning)
◦ Effect present in preschoolers and not dependant on musical talent
◦ EEG Studies demonstrated enhanced synchronization of neuronal
firing activity of the right frontal and left temporal-parietal areas
compared to students listening to a story.

10. Writing articles, blogs, or journal entries
improves memory and thought expression. It
stimulates thought processes, which also
enhances brain function. Painting is shown to be
an effective brain booster. It sparks the creativity
within you. Even if you’ve never tried painting
before, give it a shot. You’ll find that you feel
more creative and may actually enjoy it.
Draw a picture. Like painting, drawing stimulates
the creative side of your brain. So get out some
colored pencils and start boosting your
brainpower.

11. Starting the day out with a good breakfast has been
proven to supply energy to the brain and body for
the whole day. When you skip breakfast, you’re
missing out on a powerful edge, both physically
and mentally.
Drink a serving of pure fruit juice. Fruit juice
contains nutrients that revitalize and refresh the
brain. Juices to drink are pomegranate, blueberry,
and cranberry as they deliver more focus and
energy.
Caffeine stimulates activity in the brain, which
produces better focus and thinking ability.
Taking fish oil supplements is literally like
membrane material for the brain. The two primary
components in fish oil, DHA and EPA, strengthen
the emotional center of the brain and boost focus.

12. Sleep clears out brain clutter and reduces
brain fog. When you don’t get enough sleep
at night, your memory and normal brain
function suffers.
Staying up all night reduced students’ ability
to cram new facts by nearly 40 %-Brain
regions effectively shut down by sleep
deprivation.
After-lunch nap for an hour boosts learning
ability.

14. Exercise 1 : Read the words
Exercise 2 : Read the colors of the words as
fast as you can
