Increase Your IQ: Act Now
If you want to improve your IQ for an important meeting that is scheduled in the near future or anything important you can certainly do so. Try the following methods:
Breathing Exercises
Deep Breathing helps: This is very easy for anyone to practice. Deep breathing opens up your brain. You help more amount of oxygen flow into your brain which relaxes the brain. It has been known that higher the oxygen amount in blood the more it is easy to relax. Most of the people do not deep breath, hence this is a quick and effective way to relax. I recommend you to breath through nose, since this helps you in breathing deeply.
Meditation: This is immensely helpful because it involves deep breathing. Meditation involves observing breathing pattern and this induces relaxation. Close your eyes and start breathing deeply for some time. Later you can breathe at your own pace. You will have a flood of thoughts coming to your mind, ignore them all and concentrate on your breathing. Practice this daily for a few minutes.
Hypnosis and self-hypnosis: Practicing hypnosis oneself can help you increase your IQ.
Exercise
Improve your posture
Sit with your back straight and keep your mouth closed. If you have a good posture you can improve your concentration and clear up your thought process. Try it yourself. When you attempt to do some math problem sleeping or mouth opened, you will notice that you don’t do it as fast as when you sit straight with your mouth shut.
Exercise :Physical activity helps regulate the blood flow into your brain. You need have a rigorous regime. An activity that is sufficient enough to pump blood will wake up your brain is good. Walking is good and aerobics is even better to enhance IQ.
Sleep: Everyone knows that sleep refreshes you. But remember to sleep deep, it’s the quality and not the quantity of sleep that will help your IQ.
Improve your Food Habits
Coffee: Experiments conducted have shown that scores can improve if you consume coffee before you take an important exam. Be cautious because the effect is short and caffeine if consumed regularly can have harmful side-effects.
Ginkgo biloba: It is available in the form of capsules, tea or leaves. Have it as you like since it increases flow of blood into your brain. This helps improve your memory and concentration capability. It is very fast and the effect is long lasting if regularly used.
Reduce Sugar: Not only sugar, but any carbohydrate if consumed more or regularly can affect your thinking capability. This is due to the insulin that the body generates to digest sugar. Avoid items like white flour, sugar, potatoes especially before anything important like a meeting or an exam.
Be concerned only with the boosting your IQ
Don’t bother yourself with debates like what is real intelligence. You should be concerned only with the results, only your score in IQ test. Test always test your intelligence albeit only at a particular point of time. You have to score higher at these points of time. So if you slept well, drank coffee or employed any of the above techniques and others to boost your IQ, you will have nothing to lose. If you inculcate some of the above, you will be alert to do your tasks perfectly.

BRAIN ! ! !
How To Enhance your Intelligence : 5 Tips
Brain is very similar to a muscle. Like muscles, brain also needs the right kind of exercise and nutrition. The more you use your brain in the right direction, the more you will enhance your ability to focus and think sharply. On the contrary, if you feed your brain the wrong chemicals you will harm its functioning and your thinking capabilities.
Listed below are 5 easy techniques to extract a little more of creativity from your gray cells.
1. Avoid Watching Television : This is perhaps very tough to convince people about. Many people including myself love to just sit in front of TV. Watching TV is not at all productive. It neither enhances your mental capability nor recharges your brain. It is very similar to having all energy drained out of your brain without reaping the benefits of exercise.
TV does make you feel tired after a few hours. Don’t you agree? Eyes hurt and crave for rest after you watch TV for a long time. You are not left with any energy and motivation to read a book.
A good way to relax is to read a book. If not a book, then listening to music is a great idea to relax. Whenever in the company of friends and family have a chat with them instead of watching television. This will utilize you mind more than when you watch television.
2. Work Out: Earlier, I used to think that reading a book is more useful than exercising. But over time I realized exercise is more helpful since it helps you learn more in the long run. A work out is a good way to cleanse your body and rejuvenate it. You will find that exercise helps you focus for longer periods of time.
3. Read books that stimulate thought: Fiction is what most prefer to read, but it is hardly useful for enhancing the thought process. Reading books which are mentally challenging will help you improve your ability to read and write. Classics will improve your vocabulary to think in English and may even change the pattern of your thinking. Never ignore the words you don’t understand. Look up for their meanings. Also put all your effort in understanding paragraphs which appear complicated. Read them again and again to understand the full depth. Cultivate this habit and you will soon be able to grasp any complicated matter.
I am sure that once you get hooked to stimulating books, you will no longer be tempted to read fiction. Learning and imbibing fresh ides is far more thrilling than reading a fiction novel.
4. Sleep Early, Rise Early: Insufficient sleep is the main cause of people not being able to focus for extended periods of time. Sleeping early and rising up early will keep you very fresh and active. Remaining awake till late in the night , you will end up waking up late and feeling lazy . Moreover, you ability to focus will also take a hit. Waking up early in the morning enhances your productivity and keeps you alert all through the day.
If you feel tired and sleepy, take a nap which is not longer than 20 minutes. Anything more will make you lethargic. Short naps do rejuvenate you.
5. Find Time to Introspect: We become so much involved in our daily life that we don’t find time for ourselves. Concentration reduces. Find time where in you are alone and can think about issues. This will help organize your thoughts and you can prioritize your tasks and duties. You will be able to make clear cut decisions and focus on the most important issues. You cluttered mind will be a lot more clear and you will know why you are doing activities when performing them.
All said and done, I am not advising that you do yoga or chant some mantra. Any technique that allows you to sit alone and think is good. Personally , I prefer talking a long walk all alone. Experiment and try out new methods to find out which one suits you the best.
Recommendation: I am sure you do appreciate the techniques that I have suggested above. Remember, it is more often that things which sound simple turn to be most relevant. The crucial part is to implement them for longer periods. Follow the above 5 and I am sure you will greatly enhance your mental abilities and ability to reproduce what you have imbibed. From time to time test your intelligence...
