Take Notes
Psychologists have found that just the simple act of writing things down can boost memory. Research conducted found that students who take class notes by hand learn more than those who type on their laptops.
Get More (Healthy) Fats into Your Meal Plan
Your brain needs healthy fats to function properly. The best way to quickly improve cognitive function and focus is to get more healthy fats into your diet. Broccoli, nuts, fatty fish, blueberries, avocados, eggs are considered healthy fats as they help your brain to run more efficiently. Spreads made from these healthy fats like Flora Pro-activ also help to lower high levels of cholesterol for improved heart health. Try it on sandwiches or as a topping on veggies, mixed into sauces or porridge to ensure that you get your 25 g per day.
Eye Movements
Researchers speculate that moving your eyes from side to side can link the right and left hemispheres of the brain. While researchers are not yet sure about wiggling your eyes back-and-forth, they suggest that it certainly won’t hurt.
Power Nap
The next time you’re under pressure to complete a work project, try taking a quick power nap beforehand. Experts have long known that sleep plays a vital role in memory as it is used for memory consolidation and brain cleanup. Don’t be shy to take a power nap at your desk! What’s not to appreciate about waking up feeling invigorated enough to tackle that work project head-on?
