Accelerate Natural Energy

The average adult only uses around 10% of his or her brain. Here are 10 easy ways to uncover your inner Einstein.

1. Eat breakfast. A healthy, protein-rich breakfast will fuel your brain and help jump start your daily energy levels.
2. Listen to music during work. Find a genre of music that helps you focus; usually something with few lyrics so you aren’t tempted to sing along. For me it’s Pink Floyd or Jazz.
3. Brainstorm for warmup. It has been proven that the brain works best when ‘warmed up’. Use your imagination or do simple math.
4. Avoid sugar. Although you might benefit from a short burst of energy, sugar promotes ‘brain fog’. Try to stay away from all simple carbohydrates–white breads, pastas, and sweets.
5. Exercise. Exercising has been proven to help improve cognitive function; in some instances in as short as 10 minutes. Put your runner’s high to use.
6. Take a break. Studies show that taking constant breaks during periods of intense study or mental effort are much more beneficial than just one constant period of work.
7. Gingko Biloba. Gingko Biloba has been used throughout Asia for hundreds of years as a way to improve memory.
8. Avoid stress. Stress can dramatically hurt both your brain and your body. ‘Take a load off’ to open your mind.
9. Exercise the brain. Learn new things to keep the brain sharp. Play memory games (crosswords, Sudoko, etc.), ask questions, or read a book. A ‘dormant’ brain is the enemy.
10. Get plenty of sleep.Sleep is vital for every-day function and the repair of tissues. If you are lacking sleep, you will be lacking wit.
