Our brains play a huge part in what makes us 'us', and keeping your brain in tip top condition can give you that head start towards success, particularly during your studies.
If you're looking for ways to boost your brain power then follow the steps:
Fit in some exercise a few times a week
Exercising doesn't only improve our fitness levels, but can also help to develop a healthier brain. By running, cycling, swimming, or whatever form of exercise takes your fancy, you can strengthen the connections between brain cells. From this, your learning and memory skills can improve and you should be able to absorb more information from your lectures and library books.
It's recommended that you exercise for at least 30 minutes, five times a week, but if you are relatively new to exercising, start off with a couple of times a week and slowly build it up. Otherwise you risk growing bored of the new routine, before you've developed the habit.
Get creative
Coloring in, as strange as it may sound, has been found to have the same effects on the brain as meditation and if you search online you'll find a huge selection of coloring books for adults, to match every interest! If cooking is more your thing, try out some new ingredients and recipes. Or if you're more of an outdoorsy sort, challenge yourself to learn a new sport. Any time spent being creative and trying new things can really make a difference to your brain's overall functioning.
Allow yourself to power nap
Making sure you get enough sleep at night, as well as having a 30- minute power nap during the day, gives your body enough time to repair and rejuvenate for another day of learning and studying.
