Improving intelligence does not rely on diet or supplements, but on exercise!

Research results show that neurons decline with age, and many exercises can promote the regeneration of brain cells and exercise the brain. If you want to improve your intelligence, then take action now!

Exercises that improve intelligence

1. Cycling

Think carefully, aren’t your memories of cycling beautiful and pleasant? Research has proven that this wonderful emotion really occurred at that time, because proper exercise can secrete a hormone that makes us cheerful and happy - riding a bicycle can produce this hormone.

The action of cycling can compress blood vessels, accelerate blood circulation, and allow the brain to take in more oxygen, so you will feel clear-headed and have clear thinking after riding.

2. Table tennis

Does your boss play table tennis? If he plays table tennis, you should also practice hard, otherwise your brain may not be able to keep up with his thinking!

Scientific research shows that table tennis requires the brain to think quickly and intensely, promotes blood circulation in the brain, supplies the brain with sufficient energy, and has a good brain-enhancing function.

Added value: "The best exercise to prevent myopia"

When playing table tennis, the eyes use the ping-pong ball as the target and constantly adjust and move far and near, up and down, left and right, constantly causing the ciliary muscles and extraocular muscles to contract and relax alternately, promoting the blood supply and metabolism of the eyeball tissue, and effectively improving the function of the ciliary muscles.

3. Swimming

You must know that women are better at using their brains than men! The corpus callosum of women's left and right brains is thicker than that of men's, so the left and right brains can be used smoothly at the same time.

The ability to flexibly use the left and right brain has always been an advantage for us women. But now we face the anxiety of becoming single-brained women. Because we work and achieve like men, we are forced to use our rationalizing left brain too much. However, the right brain, which is full of intuition and inspiration and which we are always proud of, is often dormant.

The right brain is curious and creative; the left brain follows its own principles. The memory circuit of the left brain is low-speed memory, while the right brain is high-speed memory, and it has the ability to "remember everything at a glance".

Swimming can promote the development of brain cells. The massage and stimulation of peripheral blood vessels by water can improve our nervous system's ability to respond to the outside world and promote the development and use of the right brain.

4. Walking

As an effective cardiopulmonary exercise, brisk walking can increase heart rate by at least 13% and the amount of oxygen supplied to the brain by at least 5% compared to ordinary walking. With an extra pair of walking sticks, we can make full use of our hands when walking upright, coordinate our hands and feet, and promote the regeneration of brain cells.

Ordinary walking is also possible! Take a normal walk 3 times a week, each time for more than 30 minutes. The brain's learning ability, attention and abstract reasoning can also be improved by 15%.

5. Dance

Our athletic ability is sometimes weaker than that of men because they are better at using their left brain and find it easier to maintain balance. Lack of stable balance ability not only makes the limbs inflexible, but also seriously affects the correct development of the functional differentiation of the left and right brain, especially the organization, reasoning and comprehension abilities of the left brain.

We are different from animals. Many of animals' skills are innate, such as cats' ability to climb trees and frogs' ability to swim. But we can master all skills through learning. In turn, by learning these skills we exercise our brains.

6. Fighting

Fighting sports involve both hands and brain, and involve constant whole-body movement. Every action you take is made after careful and quick consideration of your brain. Your cerebral cortex nerves are in the most appropriate state of excitement. You have keen observation, clear memory, active thinking, and your creative potential is fully realized. Your need for self-realization is stronger, and your will to overcome difficulties and your belief in winning are stronger. Adequate blood oxygen supply to the brain greatly enhances memory and thinking abilities.

7. Skiing

The world is moving towards the equality and freedom we long for. Anyone can challenge those Bills or Charles, and the challenge starts with skiing, a sport that has long been a favorite of the aristocratic elite.

The close coordination of eyes, hands, legs and feet during skating can train our reaction speed to the greatest extent. Alpine skiing, in particular, creates a strong sense of success and increases self-confidence in facing various challenges.

Added value: coordination, flexibility and agility are exercised at the same time.

8. Yoga

"She seems to have become smarter." We often find that some women around us have changed after practicing yoga. This is not an illusion, but a fact - American researchers have confirmed that yoga can improve intelligence levels. This is related to the fact that yoga can help people relax and improve their ability to control their bodies.

After comparing all yoga postures, the researchers found that the backward bending posture is most helpful in improving intelligence level.

9. Orienteering

Orienteering is a sport in which participants use topographic maps and compasses to independently find a number of ground checkpoints marked on a map in a prescribed order and complete the entire race in the shortest time possible.

Orienteering requires participants to have good judgment and learning ability. It can be said that it is a re-learning and re-practice of knowledge such as mathematics, astronomy, geography, biology, physics, etc. after leaving school.

Of course, in addition to doing the above exercises, you should also pay attention to a healthy diet, balance meat and vegetables, and eat more vegetables and fruits, so as to improve your intelligence more effectively.
