    Boost Brain Performance Naturally

    One of the most powerful supercomputers in the world is the human brain. In this article, we will discuss the brain and how to boost the performance of this amazing organ naturally.


    Brain Functions


    The human brain controls practically all the activities in the body. It receives information from the five senses, which are hearing, taste, smell, sight, and touch. With this information, intelligence, creativity, memory, and emotion are created.

    The brain has three main parts:

    Cerebellum. The back part of the brain. This section of the brain is responsible for coordination, balance, muscle control, equilibrium, and posture.

    Cerebrum. The large, outer part of the brain. Controls learning, speech, emotions, muscle movements, reading, and thinking.

    Brain stem. Located at the bottom of the brain, the brainstem connects the cerebrum and spinal cord. Breathing, blood pressure, heartbeat, eye movements, swallowing and other fundamental functions are controlled by the brain stem.

    Understanding how the brain works is key in determining how to boost its performance naturally.


    Natural Ways To Boost Brain Performance


    The following are all simple, yet effective ways to boost brain production naturally:


    Physical Exercise


    Exercise improves blood flow throughout the body and specifically to the brain. Aerobic exercise in particular has been shown to decrease the age-related loss of brain tissue during aging while enhancing cognitive functions 1. Aerobic exercises such as running and biking are effective while breathing exercises such as yoga helped improve the ability to focus and increase attention span.


    Mental Exercise


    Brain exercises require a person to focus on the task at hand, which can help boost memory, increase concentration, and keep a person mentally sharp. Popular mental exercises include the following:

    • Completing jigsaw puzzles
    • Playing cards
    • Taking a new route to work
    • Learning a new language
    • Increasing your vocabulary
    • Playing a musical instrument

    Use All Your Senses


    Also known as multisensory processing, using all the senses (sight, smell, touch, taste, and hearing) simultaneously may help strengthen the brain. Studies indicate using a variety of senses interact more with each other when multisensory processing is practiced. As a result, researchers concluded that “working memory” is multisensory, which helps to improve memory and strengthen the brain. 2


    The Power of Repetition


    Repeating something a person wants to remember helps to reinforce the connection and memory. For example, repeating a person’s name helps to remember their name. Another option is to write the information down. Repeating the information in the future (an hour or even a day later) could improve memory, as well as help, understand or master complicated information or material.


    Writing by Hand


    In addition to repeating things, writing them down can help improve learning, memory, and cognitive skills. Words written by hand may be remembered more than words that are typed.


    Getting Adequate Rest/Sleep


    Sleep is essential for problem-solving abilities and innovative thinking. When a person sleeps, information is transferred from short term to long term memories, brain cell connections are strengthened, and memories are reactivated. Sleep deprivation has been found to decrease attention span and decision making. Lack of sleep can also impair both working and short term memory. 3


    Positive Thoughts


    The brain releases chemicals with each thought a person thinks. For example, when a person thinks positive thoughts, the brain produces serotonin. Normal levels of serotonin in the brain often evoke feelings of calm, happiness, decreased anxiety, and increased ability to focus. On the other hand, negative thoughts could increase levels of glucocorticoids (GC’s), the primary class of stress hormones. Elevated GC levels have been linked to reduced memory performance and cognitive aging disorders. 4


    Diet and Brain Performance


    Food choices can have a direct impact on brain performance. The following foods and their ingredients are believed to improve brain performance:

    Top Foods For Brain Performance

    Brain Boosting Ingredient

    Apples

    Quercetin: protects against cognitive decline

    Grape Juice

    Polyphenols: may improve memory and learning

    Chocolate

    Flavanols: Short term boost in cognitive skills

    Coffee

    Caffeine: improve short term memory and attention span

    Complex Carbs

    Provide energy

    Nuts & seeds

    Zinc: improve memory;

    Vitamin E: improve cognitive skills

    Green Leafy Veggies

    Antioxidants: Protect the brain from age-related diseases

    Fatty Fish

    Omega 3’s: Improve brain function

    Water

    Hydration: Keeps the brain working properly

    Chicken and Eggs

    Choline: may help improve memory and cognitive performance


    On the flip side, foods containing the following foods are believed to reduce brain performance:


    Worst Ingredients For Brain Performance

    Examples of Worst Foods

    Sugary drinks

    ·         Soda

    ·         Energy drinks

    ·         Fruit juices

    ·         Sports drinks

    Aspartame

    ·         Artificial sweetener in sugar-free products

    Refined carbs

    ·         White bread

    ·         Pizza dough

    ·         White flour

    ·         Pasta

    ·         Pastries

    ·         White rice

    ·         Store-bought sauces

    Mercury

    ·         Found primarily in seafood


    Researchers have noted a possible link between nutrition, behavior, emotions, and cognitive behavior. A study on the general population in Asian and American countries found those suffering from mental disorders were often deficient in many vitamins, minerals, and omega 3 fatty acids. 5


    Brain Boosting Supplements


    In addition to the tips listed above, supplements are available to naturally boost brain performance as well.


    TCF - CytoBrainSpark - 60 capsules (formerly Brain Vitale™)


    TCF - CytoBrainSpark contains Ginkgo biloba extract, acetyl L-carnitine, phosphatidylserine (PS), inositol, and glycerophosphocholine (GPC), nutrients that play a pivotal role in brain function and health.


    Systemic Formulas: #12 - B - BRAIN


    Systemic Formulas: #12 - B – BRAIN is specifically designed to assist with the following:

    • Promoting concentration
    • Alertness
    • Clarity of thought
    • General memory functions

    This unique product provides a bridge between the right and left hemispheres of the brain, providing increased mental power. This product has also been used by children who are hyperactive.


    TCF - Brain DTX - 60 capsules


    TCF - Brain DTX contains vitamin C and Ginkgo Biloba Alpha Lipoic Acid and Biotin. These natural products are key for metabolic, neurological, and mitochondrial enzyme functions, making it essential for brain health.


    Conclusion


    While there are many products available that claim to boost brain performance, they may contain artificial ingredients, only provide a short term boost, or cause health issues over time. By focusing on foods and activities that stimulate the brain naturally, a person may be one step closer to achieving the mental boost they wish to attain.
