How to Increase Brain Function in 3 Steps

Who doesn't want to think more clearly and have improved brain function? We'd all like to increase our braincells. Find out how you can improve your brain power in 3 easy steps.

Instructions

1. First, to increase brain function get regular exercise. A 2006 study found that brisk walking increased blood flow to the brain, causing increased production of new brain cells. The interesting thing about this study is that brain cells were created at the hippocampus. The hippocampus and memory are closely associated with each other. Another study found that that those who walked less than a quarter of a mile every day were twice as likely to develop Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia compared to men who walked more than two miles a day. So the bottom line here is to exercise to increase brain function.

2. Next, to improve brain function you need to learn new things. Using the brain regularly has been shown to generate new neuron growth and stop mental decline when we age. To improve brain function ask questions, problem solve, and do mental math. Play games that involve mental concentration.

3. Last, to improve brain function get Omega3 in your diet. Studies have shown that a diet rich in Omega3 will result in increased learning, focus, memory, and problem solving skills. Omega3 makes cell membranes pliable and flexible which results in increased cell communication and brain function. You can purchase Omega3 supplements at most vitamin stores.
