For a fit brain, you need a fit body. Get at least thirty minutes of exercise four days a week. Try something

Sleep strengthens your memory, which is important for learning new things. Go to bed and wake up at the
same time every day, and aim for eight hours of sleep a night.

What you eat plays a big part in how you think. Your brain needs healthy food o work, and salmon (

Read books that show you a new way of looking at the world. You can also read to learn a skill or figure
out how things work. The more challenging the boo is, the more your brain will benefit from it.

Try a simple activity, like brushing your teeth with the other hand. This will help strengthen the side of the
brain that you don

musical instrument is a great way to do this.
