Keeping your brain active on a regular basis will naturally improve your ability to process information or intelligence. For example, quizzes, puzzles, even bingo can keep your mental faculties tuned up and in good working order. Practice crosswords and sudoku. These activities stimulate your mind and thought processes. People normally don't consider word searches thought-provoking, but if practiced in addition to other mind games, they could prove to be easy and stimulating. Some studies have shown that mental workouts can increase IQ scores by up to 8%. Apart from this Regular good quality sleep is essential for effective brain function. Eating a varied and balanced diet with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables helps too, along with regular exercise to keep our bodies and our brains in good working order. And finally - think positive. Your brain will listen to the messages you give it and take action. Positive affirmations are good practices to refocus your thoughts internally and relax. It expands your self knowledge, awareness and nourishes the soul to make you an intelligent human being.

You might think that some people are just born more brainy than others but actually, there’s a lot we can all do to improve our brainpower and hence our intelligence. While there is a strong genetic component to intelligence, research shows that IQ is more a result of the way your genes interact with your environment. Therefore, intelligence can be nurtured and it doesn’t mean you have to spend all your time with your nose buried in a book, memorising facts, either! There are lots of ways to stimulate your brain and here are some recommendations:

• Watch less TV – despite the promises of the best art house films or the most educational documentaries, watching TV doesn’t use your mental capacity in any useful way or even recharge it. Hours of staring at the monitor simply leave you feeling drained, with sore and tired eyes. So resist the temptation to just vegetate in front of the box – have a conversation with your friends or family instead, if you don’t have the energy to read a book or indulge in a creative activity.

• Read more – although choose your reading material wisely. Naturally, it is important to relax and enjoy your reading time with more popular material such as magazines, comics and commercial fiction but if you really want to stimulate your brain, then make sure that you also spend some time reading challenging literature. Classic novels can change the way you think and help you use more precise, elegant language. They will also help to build up your vocabulary and familiarity with other literary forms, such as allegory and metaphor, which exercise the deeper levels of your mind.

• Get enough sleep – nothing will drain your brain faster than sleep deprivation. Concentration, focus and problem-solving will all suffer if you don’t allow your body enough chance to rest and recuperate. And boring as it may sound, early bedtimes and early rises are the way to go as sleeping late and then sleeping in to compensate simply leave you lethargic, with even more trouble focusing. Short naps during the day can also do wonders for recharging the brain.

• Use your nose – your olfactory senses are one of the first to develop and one of the most strongly linked with mental processes. We all know the way smells can trigger a memory more sharply than sights or sounds. Similarly, inhaling certain scents can have a stimulating effect on the brain, perking you up while others can have a calming, sedating effect. Rosemary is a popular recommendation for waking up the brain. Although research is still needed to prove its effects, this is one safe trick that’s worth a try.

• Become a writer – you don’t have to try and pen the next best-selling novel but writing is good for your mind in several ways: it helps to clarify your thinking, it can be a way of exercising your analytical thinking or creativity and it is an excellent way to imprint things on your memory. It doesn’t have to be long essays – little daily notes, personal diaries, poetry and ideas are all good ways to boost your IQ.

• Enjoy some music – while there is some claim that classical music, especially Mozart, can stimulate IQ in students, particularly with regards to spatial intelligence, recent research shows little support for this theory. However, there is no doubt that music – in any form – can stimulate your brain and your creativity. Just pick something, with a good rhythm and beat, which you enjoy and feel fired up by. Even better, dance around to the beat and let physical expression enhance your mental abilities even more.

• Eat carbohydrates – yes, forget the trendy diets. Complex carbohydrates are not only good for you, they are essential in providing energy to the brain, particularly as they are slowly digested and so keep blood sugar levels steady. Good foods for the brain include: oatmeal and bran, grapefruit, apples, cherries, oranges, and grapes, legumes, including soybeans, kidney beans, chick pe

Two factors are responsible in the growth of intelligence of a person. The genetic factor - that comes down from the parents and the environmental factor - that the surrounding atmosphere or environment of one's dwelling.

Your brain needs exercise just like a muscle. If you use it often and in the right ways, you will become a more skilled thinker and increase your ability to focus. But if you never use your brain, or abuse it with harmful chemicals, your ability to think and learn will deteriorate.

Here are 5 simple ways anyone can squeeze a bit more productivity out of the old gray matter.

Minimize Television Watching
Exercise
Read Challenging Books
Early to Bed, Early to Rise
Take Time to Reflect
