Training your brain...

Learn a new word every day! Working vocabulary correlates with intelligence. New words give us new ways to think, re-energize our brain, and allow us to process ideas with greater nuances.

Eat with your other hand! If you're right-handed, swap to the left hand and vice-versa. Imagine billions of neurons mastering new tricks as you gain control of your other hand.

Brush your teeth! But use your non-dominant hand. You will probably find this really difficult, and you will be forced to give the task your full attention when you first try it.

Eat fractal vegetables! Broccoli, cauliflower and other vegetables from the cabbage family are great for memory. Harvard researchers found that women who ate the most cruciferous vegetables performed better on memory tests than those who ate the least.

Eat dried fruits! The British Nutrition Foundation reports that dates are a good source of brain-boosting boron. 200g of the fruit a day could help you to improve your motor skills compared to your fruitless colleagues.
