Tip 1: Be organized:

Structure your day (preferably with a to-do list) and keep your work surfaces clear of objects that could distract you from your tasks.

Tip 2: Eat smart:

Just recently, after years of research, the EU Food Safety Authority confirmed that a whole range of micronutrients play an important role in cognitive functions such as concentration, attention, and memory, and should be consumed in sufficient quantities. Therefore, maintain a healthy and balanced diet or rely on BrainEffect , the dietary supplement for your brainpower. BrainEffect provides your brain with all the micronutrients it needs, even during stressful times, so you can achieve your goals, day after day.

Tip 3: Sleep 7-8 hours:

During sleep, information from the previous day is processed and stored. The brain also uses sleep as a recovery phase; it cleans up. You can learn exactly what processes take place in your brain at night and which sleeping position is best for you in our article " How Sleeping Position Improves Our Brain Performance. " We recommend 7 to 8 hours of sleep—no more, no less.

Tip 4: Brain training:

Stimulate your brain cells by creating small mental exercises or games throughout your daily life. For example, try memorizing your shopping list instead of writing it down.

Tip 5: Avoid stress:

Pay attention to your work-life balance - your body and mind can only perform to their full potential if a balance between work and leisure is ensured.

Tip 6: Fresh air:

Ventilate regularly, because your brain needs sufficient oxygen. And a light, cool breeze will keep you mentally alert.

Tip 7: Soak up the sun:

It is especially important to spend a lot of time outdoors in winter, as the body needs sufficient sunlight to produce vitamin D, which can have a strong influence on mood.

Tip 8: Drink water:

It's common knowledge that you should drink 2-3 liters of water a day, but not everyone sticks to this. This can result in difficulty concentrating.

Tip 9: Exercise:

Walking and exercise stimulate your circulation and thus supply your brain with oxygen and nutrients.

Tip 10: Be sociable:

Numerous studies show that people who have a lot of contact with other people and communicate regularly not only develop more pronounced "emotional intelligence" but also remain mentally fit longer.

As you can see, it's not that difficult to maximize your brain's performance potential. If you follow these tips in your daily life, you'll most likely notice a noticeable improvement in your brain performance!

With that in mind: Here’s to a successful, and above all, healthy, New Year!
