Brain Power in Relocation

I was privleged to meet Mr. Terry Small last week. He taught me all about my brain and how to look after it. In such a busy relocation industry, I have ignored alot of things that are good for my brain. Time for change!

1. Your brain thinks in pictures, not words

ie. In order to remember something, or in order for people to remember something, you have to convert things to pictures; either in your head, or when you present things to people. Your brain simply does not remember words.

2. The No. 1 priority of your brain is to remain alive

3. Learning happens when your brain checks something exists and creates a connection with some previous event

Related to number 2, the first thing your brain does to stay alive, is check whether the information received already exists and if so, it creates a connection. This connection is how learning occurs. If there is no connection, nothing is learnt and probably not remembered.

4. Laughter increases the performance of your memory, and extends your life span by many years

This is something about the chemical release when laughing happens, but basically the more you laugh the better, and the healthier your brain becomes.

5. The best breakfast food for the brain is orange juice

Your brains fuel is glucose. Orange juice is the perfect provider of glucose.

6. Remaining hydrated is important for your brain
Drink lots of water all day long!

7. The best drink for your brain is “tea”

Green tea, brown tea or oolong tea. Indians are said to have the healthiest brains due to all the oolong tea they drink all day long.

8. The 20 best foods for your brain are (in order of goodness);

Prunes, raisins, blueberries, blackberries, kale, cranberries, strawberries, raw spinach, raspberries, brussel sprouts, alfalfa sprouts, steamed spinach, broccoli, beets, avocado, orange, red grapes, red pepper

It is also said that fish is good for the brain, and it is recommended that you have fish at lease one a week. Salmon and sardines are best.

9. Your brain needs the right foods and drinks!

Your brain is made up of 80% water, and it burns 30% of your calories. Make sure you take notice of the foods and drinks mentioned above.

10. Your brain needs the right information

You should never stop learning (never stop creating connections)

You should never stop reading things

* The number one factor in student intelligence is proved to be “How much children were read to in their childhood”. Reading is very important to the health of our brains.

11. Your brain needs the right music

Baroque music (Vivaldi, Bach, Handel, etc) is said to increase your learning by 25%- 40%

It is said that Baroque music soothes your heart beat and body into the correct “atmosphere” for learning.

Time to get a healthier brain!!
