12 Simple Ways To Supercharge Your Brain
Have you ever felt exasperated when you bumped into someone at the store but absolutely couldn't remember their name? Sure, it happens to all of us.
Despite being the strongest computer on the planet, our brains do lapse. It's hard to blame them really. As humans, we spend much of or existence stuffing our brains with stuff.
No matter how powerful our brains are, they need recuperation time to be kept in shape. Think of it as a tune up for your brain. Skipping brain maintenance is as silly as the person wandering the parking garage because they forgot where they parked. Is that you? Are you that person? If so, fear not; we are all that person at some point.
Now I am not a brain surgeon and I am not going to suggest you do anything surgical or dangerous. I am however an astute student of human behavior so I always look for simple ways to super charge my brain.
Here are some things you can begin doing as soon as today to begin the great brain tune up:
Eat Almonds
Almond is believed to improve memory. If a combination of almond oil and milk is taken together before going to bed or after getting up at morning, it strengthens our memory power. Almond milk is prepared by crushing the almonds without the outer cover and adding water and sugar to it.
Drink Apple Juice
Research from the University of Massachusetts Lowell (UML) indicates that apple juice increases the production of the essential neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the brain, resulting in an increased memory power.
Sleep well
Research indicates that the long-term memory is consolidated during sleep by replaying the images of the experiences of the day. These repeated playbacks program the subconscious mind to store these images and other related information.
Enjoy simple Pleasures
Stress drains our brainpower. A stress-ridden mind consumes much of our memory resources to leave us with a feeble mind. Make a habit to engage yourself in few simple pleasures everyday to dissolve stress from your mind. Some of these simple pleasures are good for your mind, body and soul.
• Enjoy music you love
• Play with your children
• Appreciate others
• Run few miles a day, bike or swim
• Start a blog
• Take a yoga class or Total Wellness routine
Exercise your mind
Just as physical exercise is essential for a strong body, mental exercise is equally essential for a sharp and agile mind. Have you noticed that children have far superior brainpower than an adult does? Children have playful minds. A playful mind exhibits superior memory power. Engage in some of the activities that require your mind to remain active and playful.
• Play scrabble or crossword puzzle
• Volunteer
• Interact with others
• Start a new hobby such as blogging, reading, painting, bird watching
• Learn new skill or a foreign language
Practice Yoga or Meditation
Yoga or Meditation relives stress. Stress is a known memory buster. With less stress, lower blood pressure, slower respiration, slower metabolism, and released muscle tension follows. All of these factors contribute significantly towards increases in our brainpower.
Reduce Sugar intake
Sugar is a non-food. It's a form of carbohydrate that offers illusionary energy, only to cause a downhill slump once the initial burst has been worn off. Excess intake of sugar results in neurotic symptoms. Excess sugar is known to cause claustrophobia, memory loss and other neurotic disorders. Eat food without adding sugar. Stay away from sweet drinks or excess consumption of caffeine with sugar.
Eat whole wheat
The whole wheat germs contain lecithin. Lecithin helps ease the problem of the hardening of the arteries, which often impairs brain functioning.
Eat a light meal at night
A heavy meal at night causes tossing and turning and a prolonged emotional stress while at sleep. It's wise to eat heavy meal during the day when our body is in motion to consume the heavy in-take. Eating a light meal with some fruits allows us to sleep well. A good night sleep strengthens our brainpower.
Develop imagination
Greeks mastered the principle of imagination and association to memorize everything. This technique requires one to develop a vivid and colorful imagination that can be linked to a known object. If you involve all your senses - touching, feeling, smelling, hearing and seeing in the imagination process, you can remember greater details of the event.
Control your temper
Bleached food, excess of starch or excess of white bread can lead to nerve grating effect. This results in a violent and some time depressive behavior. Eat fresh vegetables. Drink lots of water and meditate or practice yoga to relieve these toxic emotions of temper and stressful mood swings.
Take Vitamin B-complex
Vitamin B-complex strengthens memory power. Eat food and vegetables high in Vitamin B-complex. Stay away from the starch food or white bread, which depletes the Vitamin B-complex necessary for a healthy mind.
I don't believe these are that tough. If you find yourself increasing stumped, give a couple of these a try.

Lets Take The Brain Type Test.
Hi.. Please visit the link below to take the brain type test!!!
http://www.testcafe.com/lbrb/
Are You Left-Brained or Right-Brained?
The brain is composed of two hemispheres, known as the left and right hemisphere. While each hemisphere has unique functions, which one side performs and the other does not, both hemispheres possess the ability to analyze sensory data, perform memory functions, learn new information, form thoughts, and make decisions.
The way you use these abilities determines a large part of your personality and behavior. By the time we, as humans, are two years old, one hemisphere begins to dominate your decision-making process. Communication between the two halves is possible due to the corpus callosum and this process continues to improve until the age of 15.
The left hemisphere specializes in analytical thought. It is responsible for dealing with "hard" facts such as abstractions, structure, discipline, rules, time sequences, mathematics, categorizing, logic, rationality, and deductive reasoning. It is also responsible for details, knowledge, definitions, planning, goals, words, productivity, efficiency, science, technology, stability, extraversion, physical activity, and the right side of the body. Left hemisphere ability is the predominant focus in school and society.
The right hemisphere specializes in "softer" aspects than the left hemisphere. The right hemisphere is responsible for intuition, feelings, sensitivity, emotions, daydreaming, visualizing, creativity, color, spatial awareness, and first impressions. It is also responsible for rhythm, spontaneity, impulsiveness, the physical senses, risk-taking, flexibility and variety, learning by experience, relationships, mysticism, play and sports, introversion, humor, motor skills, and the left side of the body (the old belief that left-handed people are more creative does hold some scientific credence). The right hemisphere also has a holistic method of perception that is able to recognize patterns and similarities and combines those elements into new forms.
The Brain Type Test will determine which half is your dominant half, and to what degree. The test consists of 54 questions and may be completed in about 10 minutes. After completing the test, you will be given your free left and right brain score. You will also be given a small detailed paragraph explaining the characteristics that are associated with your dominant side. You will then be granted the option to purchase a full, detailed evaluation, which will provide analysis of the characteristics associated with each side of the brain. The detailed evaluation explains in great detail the exact nature of your brain's halves' ability to communicate with each other and how that communication affects your life in how you learn, remember, process data, and contemplate issues.
Information About This Test
The Brain Type Test is based on the various characteristics associated specifically with each hemisphere of the brain. This test produces results unique to each individual's own left and right hemispheres. Many of the methods used here were pioneered by Dr. Roger Sperry's research on brain lateralization, for which he won a Nobel Prize in 1981.
The test examines the categories of linear, sequential, symbolic, logical, verbal, and reality-based, which are associated with the left hemisphere. It also examines the categories of holistic, random, concrete, intuitive, nonverbal, and fantasy-oriented, which are associated with the right hemisphere. There are always exceptions, and while the majority of humans are going to be classified as being left-brained or right-brained, one goal we have as humans is to strive to utilize both halves of the brain when processing information.
Speed is not a factor. Answer the questions as truthfully as you can.

Easy Ways to Boost Your Brain and Improve Your Memory
Studies have discovered that the two sides of our brain work together to process every single bit of data that goes into the brain. The brain is a mighty muscle and needs to be trained for strength just like any other muscle in your body. Your brain is one of the mightiest storage devices known to man; capable of storing a vast amount of data for future use. Even with all this storage capacity, however, we still sometimes forget where we set our keys down, or the name of our good friend's new fiancé.
Like any muscle, if your brain is allowed to be untrained, it will function at a lower level of efficiency than if it were trained to operate at its full capacity. You need to learn to get both halves of your brain working together better in order to have it working at its best.
The left side of your brain is responsible for handling things like words, logic problems, analyzing numbers and sequences, linear relations and analysis.
The right side of the brain deals more with rhythm, spatial awareness, imagination, daydreaming, and analyzing colors, dimensions and patterns.
It's still possible for you to train and expand your brain power no matter how smart or dumb you think you are. It doesn't always involve training hard or sticking your face in dozens of books. Near the peak of middle age, many people begin to notice gradual changes in their memory skills. This is normal and is a part of aging. There are many tricks and techniques that can help you to strengthen your memory, including changes to your lifestyle and developing different mental habits.
The brain has a very specific dietary requirement in order to allow it to function at its peak. The foods that you eat almost always directly affect how your brain works and handles data input into it. Eating a good and balanced breakfast is one of the best things you can do to help jumpstart your brain in the morning. The glucose found in a normal breakfast helps the brain to get going and keep you moving easily. Conversely, eating a lot of junk food can cause your brain to slow to the point where healthy teenage brains start to function at the level of a seventy year old brain, with all the cognitive problems associated with old age and mental functioning. High protein foods are the best things to keep the brain muscle fit during the day. Eating foods with Vitamin B in them can also help with memory and other cognitive functions you need to deal with.
It's important to get a good night's rest. You've always known this and your body and mind will remind you of this fact at every chance. Not getting the proper amount of sleep will affect the way your mind deals with concentration and memory and will make your mind about as alert as a slug. The effects of staying up too late or not getting enough sleep can also be reversed of course, by simply allowing your brain to get the rest it needs before putting it through your daily paces. When the body isn't rested properly, the circulatory system doesn't work well and so your brain must work with fewer nutrients than normal while performing the same tasks. Sleep allows the mind to rejuvenate and learn better.

From Creativity Coach Dan Goodwin
1. What kind of environment do you feel most creative in? Cosy in your creative workspace shutting out all distractions? In the middle of a park with nature all around you? In a buzzing city café, immersed in the hustle and bustle of life? Experiment and find what works for you.
2. What kind of influences help you be more creative? Are there certain people you like being around because they allow you to be more creative? Are there groups or communities you're a part of them that have enhanced your creativity? How can you bring more of these into your life?
3. What single thing could you eliminate or radically reduce in your life that would increase your creativity more than anything else? What's the first step you can towards reducing its negative impact?
4. If a friend of yours came to you saying they were desperate to be more creative, what advice would you give them? What would say are the key elements we need in place to be as creative as we know we can be?
5. When were you most proud of something you'd created? What was it about that experience that brought you most satisfaction? Was it the idea, the enjoyment of creating, the finished art? Or something else?
6. What will help you value you your unique creative talents and abilities more? How can you review your past creative achievements to give you confidence and encouragement to continue to evolve as a creative artist?
7. Which creative medium(s) have you always wanted to try but never have? What's the first step you can take towards this today? Experimenting in different forms, especially ones you're strongly drawn to, is a great way to enrich your creativity overall.

Creative Solutions Begin in Silence
Have you found yourself in the midst of telling a friend or co-worker about a problem confronting you only to have them provide you three solutions before you've ended your second sentence?
Do you ever get an insightful idea popping into your head and long before the magnitude of the idea has settled in, your mind is racing at warp speed to tell you why your ideas won't work or how to fix them to make them better?
In the first situation all you really wanted was a quiet listener so you could, through the story telling, process your problem, put all the facts in order and start to get a perspective on possible solutions. However, an outside listener, rather than being quiet, was interfering and putting their spin on your problem. In the second case, an insider - your mind, was interfering with your evaluation process.
Creative Solutions Come from Within
It doesn't matter what the subject is you are dealing with or whether it is work related or personal, what does matter is how to go about achieving the best solution. While problem solving is often thought of as a logical left brain process, the actual solution originates in the right brain creative side.
When you are faced with a problem that you need to solve, your subconscious mind takes over and sends a message to the creative side of the brain telling it to provide as many solutions as possible. And, then help you determine which solution is best. This process can take place in a split second; sometimes you may need to sleep on it or a week later in the shower the solution just shows up. The solution, no matter how it arrives is a creative process that takes place in the quiet space of the subconscious mind.
Cultivate and Energize Your Creativity
While there are many Feng Shui principles you can apply to enhance the creative process the first and foremost is to create a fertile properly energized atmosphere to get the creative juices flowing and the subconscious mind engaged. That takes silence - not just quiet space but silence within.
Develop the habit of silence. Close your office door if necessary or do your best to tune out surrounding noise pollution. Perhaps you may wish to create a mini "creative solutions" area in your office or home that is completely quiet - someplace you can retreat to for just such occasions. Get a clear mental picture or listen for the right words to describe your problem, your need for the right solution and some frame of reference for timing or urgency. Then send that information to your subconscious mind. The clearer you can present the problem the better the result will be.
If you are trying to solve a problem in your office, engage your staff to act as a team in your creative solving process. Present them with the problem but tell them you do not want any solutions proposed until the next day. Simply ask them to sleep on it and you will be amazed at how many more and better options they will have the next morning.
If you are a staff of one, draft a couple of trusted friends to participate in this process. Share your problem with your friends but instruct them to not give you any suggestions until after they've slept on it. The results will be equally good because they will have your best interest in mind. If you are a writer or and artist, you can use this same technique to get rid of a block or to improve your work.
You can also further enhance your creative problem solving abilities using one of Feng Shui's five elements, metal. Hang a picture with a creative message, framed in gold on the west wall of your office. The metal gold focuses energy on creativity.
The northeast area of your office is the knowledge area. Energize it with something that symbolizes great knowledge for you. It can be books, a pyramid representing ancient knowledge; even a picture of a gently flowing river with lots of blue-green colors works well as those are the colors that energize knowledge.
The best problem solving comes from the creative subconscious mind put together with logical left brain thinking.
The ancient concept of Feng Shui principles put together with our newly recognized insightful or intuitive subconscious side creates a whole new and more effective way to solve problems in the 21st Century.

Are You Human Plus? (+)
Have you noticed how many people in our society and civilization have simply turned off their minds and now have surrendered them to the television set? It is amazing how many people have stopped thinking and appear to be of very low IQ. They are not of low intelligence as every human being has the brain capacity to think, but they have chosen not to think. And of course we all know that if you fail to use it then you will lose it.
The brain is much like a muscle in this regard and if you work it out it gives more efficiency and if you turn it off it simply rots. There are members of our society who are supercharged and they use the brain all the time and never turn it off. Are these people human plus or is it nurturing and usage that is making their brain so powerful?
Are some humans and simply genetically better engineered and have better brain capacity? Are some humans genetically better, but yet fail to use their brain and therefore look stupid like the rest? Why is it did so many people are running around in the hustle and bustle of life and then sit down and watch TV like the couch potato and turn off their minds?
What is going on in our society and why are so many people brain dead? Are you human plus or have you simply turned off the TV and turned all on your mind? Please consider this philosophical thought in 2006.
