SUPER FOODS FOR SUPER MEMORY

Now that school is starting back up, it’s time to give your brain everything it needs to stay sharp and attentive in class.


So here are 5 foods to help you improve your memory and supercharge your brain:

Fish
Fish is not only high in good protein, but also filled with essential vitamins and minerals for your brain; including: phosphorus, magnesium, selenium, and vitamins A and D. And fish oil is a great source of Omega-3 fat, which can improve your brain’s chemistry and development. We recommend: tuna, sardine, anchovy, salmon and bluefish.

Blueberries
The Journal of Neuroscience published some research from Tufts University that suggested that blueberries can improve memory loss. Blueberries are also filled with antioxidants and have been reported to inhibit colon cancer and Ovarian cancer.

Wholegrain Foods
Wholegrain foods are a great way to get folic acid and B vitamins into your body. You see, B vitamins like Thiamine, Pantothenic Acid, and Pridoxine have been shown to reduce memory loss. If you’re not eating enough wholegrain foods, we recommend taking a good B vitamin that has B1, B5, B6, and B12.

Pumpkin Seeds
Buy a bag of roasted pumpkin seeds and chew on them throughout the day. Pumpkin seeds are filled with zinc, which has been known to help improve thinking skills.

Broccoli
Broccoli is filled with vitamin K, and can help improve your brain chemistry and overall brainpower.

Eating all the right foods won’t guarantee that you’re brain is at its best performance. You need to balance healthy eating along with good sleep, cardiovascular activity, and plenty of water.

WHAT IS IQ ??

I.Q. is the acronym for intelligent quotient, and refers to a score given for several standardized intelligence tests. The first of these was developed by French psychologist Alfred Binet in 1905. He constructed the IQ test, as it would later be called, to determine which children might need additional help in scholarly pursuits. Today, the IQ test is commonly based on some model of the Stanford Binet Intelligence scale.

Not all intelligence can be measured by an IQ test. In fact, primarily, an IQ test measures mathematical and spatial reasoning, logical ability, and language understanding. Thus a person who is speaking English as a second language might score poorly on the language comprehension aspects of a test, and an IQ test would not be an adequate measurement of intelligence.

Further an IQ test does not measure things like life experience, wisdom, or personal qualities like being a good friend or a devoted spouse. So it is not a predictor of a person’s quality or worth, though it has occasionally been used as such.

Some things can negatively impact IQ score. These include malnutrition in children who are tested, and fetal alcohol syndrome, or maternal addiction. Mental retardation or conditions that deteriorate the brain’s capacity to remember like Alzheimer’s disease also causes IQ scores to be lower. IQ may also be impacted by lack of appropriate education, often due to disparity in educational funding. If these disparities are corrected, then IQ scores normally increase.

People can also train to take IQ tests, which can increase scoring. However, it is not known whether a person who scores higher because of training or repeated testing is actually more intelligent. It is verifiable that the trained person does better on the IQ test than the person who is not trained.

There have been some studies on brain size and development and IQ scores. Specifically the frontal lobe of the brain seems to be the most indicative method for prediction of IQ scores. Larger frontal lobes tend to result in larger IQs.

Men and women seem to score approximately the same on IQ testing, though men exhibit a greater variance in testing, and have more very high and very low scores than do women. The American Psychological Association conducted studies on IQs and came up with the following conclusions:

IQ score was a fairly good predictor for school performance. IQ score may also predict fairly well the degree to which a person may be successful in occupations. IQ scores tend to exhibit some racial bias. Test scores may be influenced by personal genetic history.

There is much contentious debate in evaluating the IQ test, as to whether nature or nurture most influences IQIQIQ scores. As well, debate exists as to how much IQ scores should be used as a predictor of behavior. Some are concerned that IQ scores might negatively affect the perception of colleges, private schools or employers if used to determine employability or acceptance into schools.

BRAIN TEASERS !! (28/01/09)

Welcome to my blog... NOW I PRESENT TO YOU A FEW TEASERS... THANK YOU TO ALL MY READERS FOR YOUR CONTINOUS LOVE, SUPPORT AND AFFECTION

(P.S - DON'T TRY TO SNEAK INTO ANSWERS AT THE END OF THIS POST...)
1. What can't EAT FOR BREAKFAST ????

2. If you drop a steel ball weighing five pounds from a height of 45 inches, will it fall more rapidly through water at 20 degrees Fahrenheit or water at 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Or will it make no difference?

3. What tree is most warmly clad ?

4. A rubber ball is tossed off the top of a 100 foot building. Every time it bounces, it goes back up half way. How many bounces will the ball take before it stops ?

5. In 1990, a person is 15 years old. In 1995 that same person is 10 years old. How is this possible?


ANSWERS :
1. LUNCH OR DINNER
2. 40 degrees Fahrenheit. At 20 degrees Fahrenheit the water would be ice
3. A Fir tree
4. IT needs a bit of calculation :
100 feet = 1200 inches = 1200 * 2.5 cm = 3000 cms
Now as the ball drops down from 3000 cms and loses 50% altitude in every bounce
We divide 3000 cms by 2 until it becomes negligible...
3000/2 = 1500
1500/2 = 750
750/2 = 375
375/2 = 187.5
187.5/2 = 93.75
93.75/2 = 46.875
46.875/2 = 23.4375
23.3475/2= 11.7178
11.7178/2= 5.8593
5.8593/2 = 2.9296
2.9296/2 = 1.4648
1.4648/2 = 0.7324 cm = NEGLIGIBLE

THEREFORE COUNTING BACKWARDS WE GET 12 bounces before the ball comes to rest.

5. The years are in B.C.

FOR THE COMPUTER GEEKS !!
