More than 80% of the brain is composed of water, and all the information obtained by the brain is transmitted in the form of current through cells, and water is the main medium for current transmission. Therefore, drinking a glass or two of water before reading a book or doing homework is helpful for brain operation.
Listening to soothing music is very beneficial to the metabolism of brain nerve cells; Chatting with friends or strangers can also promote brain development and exercise brain function; Read more books and newspapers, not to amuse yourself with books, but to enrich your brain; Observe the things around you, and pay attention to store the information in your brain in time, then remember it and activate your thinking.
Health food: According to relevant research, there are eight substances that play an important role in brain growth and development: fat, calcium, vitamin C, sugar, protein, B vitamins, vitamin A and vitamin E. Therefore, foods rich in these eight substances can be regarded as brain-nourishing foods. The most prominent of these foods are:
1. Walnut. It is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which can improve the structure of the brain, so that people have good brain power. So people regard it as the first choice of brain-nourishing food.
2. Animal viscera. Animal viscera is not only rich in nutrition, but also has a brain-nourishing effect much better than animal meat itself. Because animal viscera contains more unsaturated fatty acids than meat.
3. Brown Sugar Brown sugar contains the highest calcium among sugars, and also contains a small amount of B vitamins, which is beneficial to the development of the brain.
There are also some foods such as bean sprouts, fish and shrimp, seaweed, honey, beans, etc., which are also very good brain food.
Eating brain-nourishing food often can make you smarter. These foods mainly include: fish head, pig liver, pig brain, lean pork, beef, chicken, duck, bone marrow, sea cucumber and so on.
As we all know, eating more fish heads can make children smarter. This is because the fish head contains protein, amino acids, vitamins and a large number of trace elements, which has a good effect on nourishing the five internal organs, strengthening the brain and improving intelligence. Pig liver has the effects of enriching blood, nourishing liver and strengthening brain. Pig brain has the effect of strengthening brain and stopping dizziness.
Lean pork has the function of nourishing yin and moistening dryness. Beef has the functions of strengthening the spleen, stomach and brain. Chicken can warm the middle warmer, replenish qi and strengthen the brain. Duck meat has the functions of nourishing yin and stomach, promoting diuresis to reduce swelling and strengthening brain. Bone marrow can tonify kidney, strengthen bone and strengthen brain marrow. Sea cucumber contains crude protein, fat, calcium and other ingredients, which has the effects of tonifying kidney, replenishing essence and strengthening brain. The correct rest method: brain health care, always thinking about preventing aging.

The brain is the most sophisticated organ of human thinking. The best way to maintain health is to strengthen the brain first, and to prevent the decline of brain function is to use the brain frequently. Those who are lazy to use their brains, over time, their brain function will decline.
"Use in and waste out" is a universal law of nature. Practice has proved that the more people use the brain, the more connections between various nerve cells in the brain, and the more conditioned reflexes are formed. Sima Qian, a famous ancient historian, once said: "If the spirit is not used, it will be abolished. If you use it, you will vibrate, and if you vibrate, you will be born. " Gao Minglian also pointed out in the book "Eight Records of Respect for Life": "If God does not transport, he will be stupid, and if blood does not transport, he will be ill." It means that the brain often becomes stupid when it is not used, and the blood vessels will get sick if they don't work or run poorly. Medical research has proved that hard work and active creation can stimulate the regeneration of brain cells and restore the vitality of the brain, which is an effective way to delay human aging. However, don't overuse your brain, pay attention to rational use of your brain and keep the law of life!
Some people think that you should not continue to use your brain in any of the following situations: (1) dizziness, hearing loss, and fever in your ear shell; (2) Limb weakness, yawning, drowsiness or lethargy; (3) inattention and memory loss; (4) Not quick thinking and slow response; (5) loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting; (6) personality changes, such as irritability, depression and depression; (7) When reading a book, I read for a long time, but I didn't understand the meaning; (8) When writing an article, the rate of missing words and repetition increases.
These are all manifestations of excessive use of the brain. In this case, people can close their eyes or look to the future, take dozens of deep breaths or take a walk outdoors for a while. In addition, people who often use their brains, after studying and working, should often take brain-strengthening dietotherapy remedies, such as taking walnut kernel100g, longan meat 500g and honey 2000g, mashing the first two flavors, mixing them with honey and sealing them, taking 30g each time twice a day, which can nourish the brain and replenish blood. You can also take 50 grams of tremella and 50 grams of Eucommia ulmoides. And 250 grams of rock sugar. First, decoct Eucommia ulmoides Oliv. Three times, take the juice to remove the residue, cook the tremella until it is cooked, and then add the rock sugar. Take it twice a day to refresh your mind.
Weird research conclusion:
Listening to music to improve IQ and prevent dementia Scientists have recently discovered that music can not only promote the thinking ability of the brain, but also improve people's IQ and maintain the neurological function of the brain. The researchers explained that listening to music can promote the growth of the brain, and the area in the brain responsible for information processing and reaction will become more developed, so music has a permanent promotion effect on the brain.
Stretching can promote memory. Previously, scientists found that stretching can relieve mental illness such as depression. Based on this achievement, medical scientists further found that stretching can also promote memory. There are two reasons why stretching can promote memory: first, stretching can help the brain decompose and release a substance that will destroy the "memory center" of the brain-"cortisol"; The second reason is that stretching can slow down the metabolism in the forehead area of the brain, which means that the working efficiency of the brain can be improved.
Sleeping in a big bed makes men smarter. Psychologists at the University of Vienna in Austria say that the narrower the sleeping environment, the more a hormone called "inhibin" is secreted by men's brains, while women are less affected by this. Scientists have analyzed that due to evolution and social status, men are more picky about sleeping environment and bed partners than women, and their brain thinking ability is more easily affected. For men, sleeping in a big bed or avoiding sharing a bed with others is more conducive to inhibiting and dissolving the secretion of inhibin.
The brain can't rest much. Biologists at the University of California, USA, found that although people engaged in mental labor consume a lot of brain cells in their work, there is not much difference from people engaged in simple manual labor in terms of the overall number of brain cells. This is because the newly born brain cells in the brain will decline rapidly if they are not used immediately, that is to say, the life span of "static" brain cells is much shorter than that of brain cells used for thinking activities. Scientists point out that the "rest" of the brain depends on adequate sleep and nutritional supplements, and it is not appropriate to "strengthen the brain" by "avoiding the brain".
