Tidbits


* Cherish your sleep because that’s probably the best time for your brain to file away all the memories of the day.


* Keep exercising your brain, because mental activity stimulates the creation of new neurons throughout your whole life.


* Think positive because when you do, you’ll keep the doctor away: Studies show that 50-70% of visits to the doctor for physical ailments can be traced to psychological reasons.


* Eat well, and it’ll have positive effects on your brain, because a study of one million New York students showed that those who ate lunches without additives such as artificial flavours, preservatives and dyes performed 14% better in IQ tests.


* That being said, your brain is the most fatty organ in your body!


* Reading aloud and talking often to a young child promotes brain development.
