Seven rules to power up your brain to the maximum

First, play a sport. Scientists from the Institute of Biological Research in Salk, California, found in the late 1990s that mice running in a spinning wheel had twice as many cells in the area of the brain responsible for learning and memory.

Second, monitor your posture. Try to do sums in your head, sitting wrong and looking at the floor. Then try to do the same but sitting with a straight back, looking upwards or directly in front of you. You will notice that it is easier to think in the second variant.

Third, boost blood circulation. Poor circulation prevents full concentration. If you are in the same position for a long time, try to stretch your legs for at least one or two minutes. This restores proper circulation.

Fourth, try meditation. Keeping calm and relaxing is just as good as doing sport, as meditation improves both mental and physical health. Studies show meditation can have a significant effect on improving memory and reducing stress levels.
