If you skipped breakfast, chances are you’re not thinking as clearly as you should be. A recent review of 134 studies found that your memory, problem-solving skills, and verbal skills all suffer if you skip breakfast . . . which seems like common sense. But if you had breakfast and STILL feel slow, here are five ways to kick-start your brain.
#1.) Split Your Breakfast Into Four Meals. Obviously don’t eat four FULL breakfasts. But a study in the U.K. found that when you eat four SMALL meals instead of one big one, it improves your problem-solving and verbal reasoning skills by about 35%. It’s because spreading your meals out gives your brain a more consistent supply of energy.
#2.) Make One of Those Mini-Meals a Handful of Walnuts.
Researchers in Spain found that just a few walnuts each morning can improve your “working memory” by 19%. Your “working memory” is basically like the RAM on your computer: It helps you remember things for a few seconds, and it’s the reason you can remember what was in the first paragraph of an email while you’re reading the LAST paragraph. Essentially, it’s your ability to focus.
#3.) Start the Day with a 20-Minute Walk. A study at the University of Illinois found that it improves your “cognitive flexibility” by 16%.
“Cognitive flexibility” is defined as your brain’s ability to produce a flow of ideas and answers when you’re presented with a problem.
#4.) Eat Something That’s High in Protein. Compared to a breakfast that’s high in sugar . . . or no breakfast at all . . . Japanese researchers found that a high-protein breakfast can increase brain activity by almost 20%. Sugar gives you energy, but only in the short-term. Protein takes longer to digest, so it gives you consistent energy all morning. That’s why eggs are such a good breakfast food . . . unless you have really high cholesterol.
#5.) Have One-Fifth of a Cup of Coffee. A recent study at the University of Bristol in England found that just 20 to 30 milligrams of caffeine boosts brainpower . . . which is about 100 milligrams LESS than your average cup of coffee.
Getting MORE than 30 milligrams of caffeine is fine. But the researchers found that it doesn’t provide any added benefits when it comes to brain function.

I love it! Especially the part where men were supposed to be fitted with a container to hold “candies for cuties” I wish I could find a man that carried candies around with him.
Mean while, how are young ladies reeaaallly dressing?
What do you think of the outfits in the video, would you wear any of them?
If I asked you if you want to see a picture of the Tantauco National Park in Chile, or Buffalo Niagara International Airport, you probably wouldn’t be that interested… . But what if I told you you’re not ALLOWED to see them? Now you kinda want to, right?
I’ve got a link today to 10 different places YOU ARE NOT allowed to see on Google Maps. They’ve been blurred out, white-ed out, or completely erased. And yes, the Buffalo airport, for some reason is one of them. Its a weird list, you should check it out, especially if you’re one of those people who hate being told “no”.
