Five ways to make proper functioning of your brain

2. PLAYING A MUSICAL
INSTRUMENT
• Few things are as satisfying as learning an instrument but there is
more to it just than a music.
• Enhances cognitive skills and academic achievement by promoting
the development of certain executive functions.
• Children able to play an instrument show enhanced performance for
verbal fluency and processing speed.

3. • Learning a new language isn’t just useful for travelling , it can also
slow brain aging and can have positive effect on later-life cognition.
• Speaking multiple languages increases the brain’s executive function
which means mentally demanding tasks can be performed better.
• Bilinguals are better at solving puzzles , planning and task
management due to better attention and task switching capacities in
the brain.
LEARNING A NEW
LANGUAGE

4. • Daily reading causes significant increases in connectivity in the left
temporal cortex of the brain – an area associated with receptivity for
language.
• Readers experience embodied semantics , a process that mirrors
brain connectivity that occurs during actual action.
READING DAILY

5. • Video games may have some bad reputation , but they are not all bad
– some really do train your brain.
• It develops working memory – the system responsible for holding
and processing new and already stored information.
• Improves spatial navigation , strategic planning and motor
performance - 30 minutes of playing a day can significantly increase
grey matter in brain.
PLAYING VIDEO GAMES

6. • It enhances object recognition memory – the ability to discriminate
the familiarity of previously encountered objects.
• Releases brain derived neuro trophic factor which is a protein linked
to cognitive benefits such as long term memory.
