提高大腦效率的10個方法

你的大腦是你最寶貴的資產。你需要好好照顧它。下面列表中的10件事，你可以每天練習來鍛鍊你的大腦:

1. Take a nap.

Refreshing your body can also help you improve brain function, increase memory, and improve your mood. Even just 15 minutes can make a huge difference in your day-to-day life. So take a nap, feel refreshed, and help your brain all in one.

爲你的身體補充能量還可以幫助你改善大腦功能，提高記憶力，改善你的情緒。即使只是15分鐘的睡眠也可以對你的日常生活產生巨大的影響。所以打個小盹可以感覺神清氣爽，幫助你的大腦好好運轉。

2. Do something creative just before going to bed.

When you’re tired, your brain can be more creative. Take advantage! Whether you’re writing the next great American Novel or dusting off the old paint brush and canvas, finding your creative outlet just before going to bed can yield great results. So tap your inner Picasso and create something beautiful. Just don’t fall asleep with the brush in your hand.

當你疲勞時，你的大腦會更有創造力。應該好好利用!當你寫下一部偉大的美國小說或翻出舊油漆刷和畫布，在睡前發揮創造力可能會產生不錯的效果。所以挖掘你內心的畢加索並創造一些美麗的東西。不要手裏拿着刷子打瞌睡。

3. Focus on one task at a time.

Did you know that it’s literally impossible for your brain to multitask? By focusing on one task at a time, you can keep your brain working at maximum capability and accomplish more than you imagined. Find a task you need to finish and focus solely on it. Leave the phone in the other room, turn the TV off, and focus. Your brain will thank you.

你知道你的大腦同時完成多件事是不可能的任務嗎？一次專注於一項任務，你可以讓你的大腦保持最大工作能力，完成結果可能會超過你的想象。你需要找到一個任務來完成，並只關注它。把手機放在另一個房間，關掉電視，集中注意力。你的大腦會感謝你的。

4. Do cardio. And exercise.

You’ve heard that cardio leads to a healthier, better body. But it also helps the mind. Find 15-30 minutes a day and get moving! You don’t need a gym membership or any fancy equipment. Just a walk around the neighborhood can do wonders and benefit your brain.

你一定聽說有氧運動會讓你有一個更健康的身體。而且它還可以幫助大腦。每天找15 - 30分鐘，行動起來!你不需要一個健身房的會員卡或任何昂貴的設備。只是在附近散步也可以創造奇蹟，使你的大腦獲益。

5. Write. Like on a real piece of paper

Computers, iPads, tablets, smartphones and the connection to the internet everywhere means it’s becoming less and less likely that you will pull out a piece of paper and write. But research suggests handwriting makes you smarter. So leave the computer on your desk during your next meeting and write your notes.

電腦、ipad平板電腦、智能手機和互聯網的連接意味着你拿出一張紙書寫的時間變得越來越少了。但研究表明書寫可以讓你更聰明。所以下一次會議時離開書桌上的電腦，手寫筆記吧。

6. Take a multi-vitamin daily.

Your car needs oil, your smartphone needs a battery, and your brain needs nutrients. A daily multi-vitamin will ensure that you get your body what it needs. And it will help your brain according to research from the British Journal of Nutrition. Pro-tip: Take your mutli-vitamin with a healthy smoothie to get your day off to a great start.

你的車需要石油，智能手機需要電池，你的大腦需要營養。日常多種維生素能保證你得到你的身體需要。根據《英國營養學雜誌》上的研究，它會幫助你的大腦。提醒：帶上你的維生素健康奶開始一個美好的一天吧。

7. Learn a new language.

Learning a new language is one of the best ways to benefit your brain. It forces your brain to adapt. Learning a language can enrich your life and help you explore new culture, but also has great benefits for your brain. So grab your Rosetta Stone or use a free service like Duolingo and learn something everyday.

學習一門新語言是你的大腦中獲益的最好方法之一。它迫使你的大腦學會適應。學習一門語言可以豐富你的生活，幫助你開拓新的文化，但是對大腦也有極大的好處。所以抓住你的羅塞塔石碑或者使用免費服務如Duolingo來學習新知識。

8. Play Words With Friends.

The hit game Words with Friends is addictive, yes, but also has great benefits for your brain! Research has found that Scrabble or other word games help increase your IQ and improve your brain power. So play your favorite variation of “jabberwock”and have fun with your friends while benefiting your brain.

和朋友打遊戲的話是令人上癮的，確實如此，但對大腦也有很大的好處！研究發現，拼字遊戲或其它文字遊戲可以幫助提高你的智商和提高腦力。所以玩你最喜歡的“炸脖龍”，和你的朋友玩得開心，你的大腦會從中受益。

9. Meditate.

Meditation is one of the best, oldest forms of relaxation. But it also helps your body and mind! The benefits for your brain found in this study show that meditation benefits nearly every part of the brain. So spend time every day in meditation! You’ll feel more relaxed and truly will be in a better state of mind.

冥想是一個最好的，最古老的放鬆形式。但它也可以幫助你的身體和心靈！這個研究表明冥想對大腦的好處幾乎體現在大腦的每一個部分。所以每天花時間在冥想！你會感覺更放鬆，真正擁有一個更好的心態。

10. Be optimistic.

Being optimistic not only helps you enjoy life, it also does wonders for your brain. When you think positively, research suggests that your brain can be a huge beneficiary. So start taking life with the glass half full approach and help your attitude and your brain.

樂觀不僅幫助你享受生活，它也對你的大腦有作用。研究表明當你積極思考時，你的大腦會非常受益。所以開始使用玻璃半滿的方法看待生活，幫助你的態度和你的大腦。
