Grow your brain

Here are couple of things in learned (Not comprehensible). Might be useful. I recently read a book "Train the brain". Couple of interesting reads.

Can you guess , when the brain will be more active

is it, When you play intense video game
or, When do you simple addition

The answer "when do you simple addition". The author did provide enough proof for this fact very interesting. This may be reason why we are encourage not to use calculator in high school days.

Other interesting facts,

1. Read out loud. This increases your brain activity. More active the brain is, more axons, network connections are built and brain becomes stronger.

2. Carrying out simple math activities increases brain activity more than routine complex tasks.

3. If your are bored in a meeting try to do a few complex activities with your fingers (like flipping your pen, complex finger movements), this increases your brain activity and you become alert.

4. As you grow old, the brain ages. One of the reason is you tend to do routine things. Try to do a new thing (travel to a new place, do something new), this increases the brain activity and the brain grows more axons and networks so you remain young in your brain :)

Try these and let me know your comments.
