Have you ever wondered why some people are more intelligent than others? This is something that brain scientists and childhood development experts are trying to understand too.
As the author David Maillie says in the following article,your intelligence seems to depend on two main factors: the genes you start out with, and what happens to you in your life after that.
Growing up in a good environment for learning and thinking can make up for some mediocre genetics and lead to a higher IQ. A bad environment for learning and thinking can stunt your mental development and lead to poor performance in school and a lower IQ, even if you started out with good potential for intelligence.
I recently read that a new study showed that young children brought up in poor families in the United States actually had brains that were different from the brains of children brought up in richer families.
Why should this be? The researchers thought it might be because the parents of families that were better off spent more time talking with their kids and paying more attention to them. The researchers speculated that the children in better off families actually heard three million more words spoken to them by the time they started school.
All this extra interaction and all this language seemed to create some permanent changes in the brains of the children whose families had more money. Add to this the fact that the poor children probably received on average much poorer nutrition, and it’s no wonder they start off with some big disadvantages. In many cases, they can never catch up.
Is there anything you can do as a grownup to try to get your brain to work better? It seems that there are at least two things you should try to pay attention to. One is, try to discover what foods are good for your brain and be sure to eat those. The good news is that foods that are good for your heart are good for your health. In general, try to lead as healthy a lifestyle as possible.
The other you need to do if you want to be smarter, is to make sure you give your brain a good workout. That means, really work on your education. Read. Think. Write. Hang around with smart, uplifting people.
Think about a lot of things. Examine the ideas you come across. Learn new stuff. See how it fits in with the stuff you already know. Be willing to change your mind. Train yourself to be curious about everything.
You have trillions of brain cells in your brain already. Give them some work to do! Get your brain cells activated and keep them busy with knowledge and activity.

How To Keep Your Mind Sharp, Improve Your Memory And IQ, Impress Others, And Make More Money
By: David Maillie
Everyone has seen or heard of someone with a photographic memory. We have also seen or know people afflicted with Alzheimers, dementia, and low IQ's. Why do some people have such memory power and others either never have it or are stripped of it by disease and neglect?
Studies have shown that 50% of brain power and function is genetic, and 50% is environment derived. What that means is that, yes, there are some that are born better off than others, just like some people are born with more wealth than the rest of us (Paris Hilton, Martin Sheen, etc...), but for every one inherently better off rich kid there are 3 or more self starters that have equalled or surpassed them with hard work. This is the same with inherent genius.
This means that 50% of your brain power is a direct result of its environment - what it is exposed to, the activity it receives, and can be seriously developed to even surpass the born super geniuses.
The brain is very similar to a muscle. We have all heard of stories of the underdog in sports. Someone whom has overcome great difficulty, diseases like cancer (Lance Armstrong), etc... and risen to be the best - far exceeding people with better genetics, better training, etc... The brain is no different. The number one thing to increase your brain's thinking power is activity. Just like muscles it needs to be exercised and stretched out.
Doctors know that the way to avoid mental decline is to constantly expose the brain to new activities. Keep it active. Studies have shown that the harder you work your brain the more it will improve.
It has actually been proven that those who work their minds the hardest have actually shown definite and marked improvement in scores on various intelligence tests. It has also been proven that stagnation will cause a marked decline on those same tests. This same activity has even been proved to help those whose minds have already started to decline - even in Alzheimer’s patients.
Now, just like the body has many different muscles, the brain has numerous functions and each has its own area or region. This is why there is autism and savants like “Rainman”.
Genetics, just like the environment can lead to gross overdevelopment of a region and underdevelopment of others (autism). Just like body builders wouldn't want to just work on their chest muscles, you want to try and expand your whole range of thought for a more well rounded brain. There are many different areas of brain thought like short term and long term memory, spatial perception, logic.
Some even say there is an unknown area that has been related to psychics and communication with the unknown. Studies have actually shown that there is an area of the mind unlinked with any known thought processes that is highly developed (extensive increases in neuropathways and blood flow) that is only seen in psychic and paranormal activities - interesting!
We will not go into how to exercise each of the areas of the brain as there are numerous books on this (a great one is by Harry Lorraine - The Memory Book.)
Just remember crossword puzzles, college and adult education classes, reading - especially different subject matter, brainstorming, etc... will all help you develop your mind and reach your peak mental fitness and potential.
I just want you to realize how important it is to keep your mind active and sharp. This mental exercise will inherently improve your IQ, bolster your confidence, make you and your life more interesting, earn you more friends, and make you more money for all these same reasons, regardless your profession - what have you got to lose.
Maybe through brainstorming and stretching the limits of your mind you will invent new ideas, products, or maybe even start your own business. This is how we invented our patented headlight cleaner and restorer, formed a biochemical company, and became the number one supplier of TCA peel skin peels in the world. Start exercising your brain today - you never know where it may take you!
