IQ MAXXING
Intelligence
Intelligence involves the ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend ideas, learn quickly, and learn from experience.
There are 7 different types of intelligence, linguistic, musical, mathematical, spatial, kinesthetic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. Iq is a score derived from standardized test to asses one's cognitive abilities like reasoning, logic, problem solving skills, etc. Three forms of intelligence such as logical/mathematical, musical, and spatial were positively correlated with IQ scores.
It can be generalized into the general intelligence factor or g factor. General intelligence can be denoted into 2 types, Fluid intelligence and crystallized intelligence.
Fluid intelligence is the ability to identify patterns and reasoning without relying on prior knowledge or experiences much. It aids in problem solving and abstract thinking, Crystalized intelligence is the ability to make use of gained knowledge and experience. Its said to increase with age. Everyone has a combination of these while the balance between them can vary. Both types of intelligence are well developed in a high IQ individual.
The Brain
The brain is very different from the rest of the body, it is rich in lipid content and most of its weight is water, both are needed for various purposes like transmission of neurons. So for optimal brain health and function, nutrients that make up the cells are needed. This includes cholesterol and unsaturated fats.
Supplements and Nutrition
Royal Jelly increases the number of new neurons and improves brain function greatly. The sheer antioxidants in royal jelly lower stress and in turn creates an improved CNS. Shilajit is a power antioxidant like Royal Jelly. Shilajit's immense amount of minerals and fulvic acid prevents the accumulation of Tau proteins. Tau proteins accumulation can lead to Alzheimers and other brain diseases. Creatine increases energy in the brain. This allows for neurotransmission and brain cell metabolism. Memory, focus, and attention will be improved, Red meat contains creatine. More magnesium was found to protect the brain from diseases. get this in organ meats and coconut water.
Higher levels of GABA predict higher intelligence. GABA also has been found to reduce the impact of cognitive disorders. It also improves sleep. Glycine is also important. Fat soluble vitamins (Vitamins A,D,E, and K). They play a crucial role in maintaining structures of the cell, metabolism of neurotransmitters, and acting as antioxidants. Choline is another nutrients essential for brain growth. Choline gets converted into acetylcholine, in the body which is a neurotransmitter that is needed for brain communication, which helps in memory, learning and attention. Eat your eggs.
Factors that determine IQ/General Intelligence and how to improve them
Some studies have shown that intelligence is mostly a genetic factor, some suggest 53% and other suggest as high as 80% genetic. Environmental factors like diseases, nutrition, and parental environment can also affect the cognitive ability of a person, especially in the growing stages. The brain is composed mainly of 2 parts, white matter, and grey matter, white matter is responsible for the transmission of signals between neurons enabling the integration of information and coordination of different brain functions. Grey matter is responsible for holding and processing given information, like memory, ideas, sensory perceptions, etc.
Neurons can be destroyed, created, and rewired to adapt to activities you do daily, thaais is called neuroplas wasticity. This is why you adapt and get better at things you practice repeatedly. Iq can increased by practicing and repeating exercises related to the types of intelligence IQ focuses on, mostly math and logic. Here are some ways that are proven to improve your IQ.
Relational Reasoning Training/Relational Frame Training
Relations are formed between ideas. The more intelligent someone is, the more relations between Ideas they can form. This training makes you form relations between ideas and deduce further relations using those relations.
RRT/RFT does not work very will on individuals with above average or gifted IQ levels (120) since they already have good reasoning skills.
Spatial visualization training
Spatial ability can be denoted into 2 types, spatial visualization and spatial orientation, Spatial Visualization is the ability to mentally manipulate images or figures in 2 or 3 dimensional space, Spatial orientation is the ability to understand and manipulate spatial relations between objects in 3 dimensional space. This can also improve relational reasoning. Having good spatial skills can help in fields like science, engineering, technology, etc.
Working memory training
"N back" exercises like dual n back or quad n back focus on improving working memory. Working memory is the ability to keep information in mind while using it. Working memory training can also increase relational reasoning and spatial ability. It has also been shown to increase fluid intelligence. Burnouts: Sometimes when you take these training regimes too far, you encounter burnout. It will make you feel like shit, clumsy, dumb or give you headaches. Give yourself a break for a day or 2.
Buteyko Breathing
Buteyko Breathing helps with increasing nitric oxide and CO2 tolerance which in turn optimizes transportation and usage of Oxygen. Oxygen from there on is more potent in the brain leading to increased cognition.
Meditation:
Mindful meditation improves brain plasticity leading to an ability to learn more, becoming more resilient, and ultimately increase intelligence.
