My name is Greg and I'm an online entrepreneur creating content that will help you upgrade your mind and brain performance. If those topics interest you, then subscribe below and join our amazing community. Today, we're going to talk about how you can boost your brain performance. Now, if you Google around, you're going to find lots of different strategies from really basic and inefficient ones to super extreme ones that, well, maybe are not the best for you. And in this video, I'm going to share with you my top five scientifically proven strategies that are definitely going to help you improve your brain performance, your mental function and make your brain firing up. And at the end of the video, I'm going to share with you a couple of really great hacks if you're right now feeling mentally exhausted. So if you're ready, let's just begin. Now, the first strategy is to keep your blood sugar stable throughout the day. Obviously, you know that your brain runs on glucose. This is the primary source. And when we get glucose, the brain works on the highest level possible for the longest period of time. However, if the levels of blood glucose are too high, that's not optimal and can potentially lead to dementia and other cognitive problems. If it's too low on the other hand, this can cause dizziness, irritability, nervousness and those kinds of symptoms. And you don't want that to happen either. So my best advice to you is the following. You can either fast in the morning, you can follow the 16-8 fasting period or fasting system. That's one way. So you basically skip breakfast and then you eat your first meal on, you know, for lunch, for example, but even better based on science is to eat a big breakfast that is high in vegetables, high in complex carbohydrates, not simple complex carbohydrates. There's some fat, some healthy fats like MCT, like coconut oil, that kind of food. And then a little bit of protein. And if you do that, you'll get all the crucial nutrients you need for optimal brain performance. So both things work, but try to keep your blood sugar stable. That's very important. The next strategy that I have for you is to set some kind of a morning routine. Now, this is super important. I know we talked about morning routines before, but please listen to me. If you have some kind of a morning routine, what's going to happen is that you'll have so much more brain power available for working on advanced and really hard tasks instead of thinking of, oh, what should I do today? What's the next thing I have to do? How I'm going to do things? And so on. For example, among other things, what I do every single morning is I meditate. Many studies have shown that meditation can improve your cognitive function, your focus, your memory, and it can also make you super relaxed. And that is exactly what you want to happen in the morning. You want to have brain power, but you don't want to be too stressed. Then for example, taking a cold shower in the morning. I know it's not super comfortable. I have been there, done that. Yeah, I know how it is. But if you do that, what's going to happen is you will activate your sympathetic nervous system and this will increase the blood levels of beta endorphins and nor adrenaline. And they're responsible for well-being and being in a good mood and feeling well. And if you do this in the morning, well, what's going to happen? You'll be in a good mood. You'll be relaxed. You'll have cognitive power. And then you can, you know, smash desks, you know, it's really, really powerful. And then the last thing is you need to write down what you're going to work on every single morning, like two to three tasks, maybe just one task so that your brain is kind of a focus on this one task and not thinking about so many other things that, you know, think of. And if you do this every single day, if you follow this routine for a while, your brain will do all those things automatically. You won't have to think about meditation. You won't have to think about other things. And that's how you're going to save brain power for the important things.

Obviously, all kinds of exercises can help you improve your brain performance, but some studies show that the most effective type of exercise for brain function is high intensity interval training. Now, if you do a short 10 to 20 minute high intensity interval training in the morning, of course, this is what's going to give you basically lots of brain energy and brain power for the day ahead of you. However, if this training is a bit too long, you're going to be physically and also mentally too exhausted. So you have to be careful about that. Now, in addition to that, if you can do this training outside, if you can go out, if it's a sunny weather. So what's going to happen is you're going to get some vitamin D3 as well from the sun, obviously. And then your skin synthesizes it. And if you combine those two things together, well, what's going to happen is you wake up, you do your morning routine, you go out, you work out a little bit, 10 to 20 minutes is not too long. You get vitamin D3, which is among other things responsible for energy and well-being and also your immune system. And you know, it's perfect. You're going to feel so good. And that's my next strategy that I would definitely recommend doing. By the way, guys, I just remember, if you want to see my 30 day meditation experiment, there's a link up there. Check it out. Now, the four strategy are brain boosters. Now, there are two brain boosters that I really, really love and I recommend. One is Gerbermatte tea. This is a specialty from the South America that can dramatically boost your energy levels much more than, for example, green tea or black tea or other kinds of strong teas. And Gerbermatte is so effective in doing that. It's really powerful. And at the same time, it makes you super focused but super relaxed. And if you want to know more about Gerbermatte, there's a link up there. Check it out because it's a really powerful tea that is not as delicious as it may sound, but it's definitely drinkable and works really well. Now the alternative to Gerbermatte tea is bulletproof coffee. We talked about that before in this video. Now the thing about bulletproof coffee is you can do it in a vegan way. So without you just add the MCT oil, you mix it with bulletproof coffee or some kind of a coffee or you add some butter to it as well. The cool thing about bulletproof coffee is that it's going to boost your energy. But unlike standardized coffee, you're not going to get this typical crash after about an hour or so. But this energy will last for a couple of hours, two, three, enough to four hours. So those two boosters, you can combine them or you can add them into your daily routine. One in the morning, one in the afternoon. If you want to, for example, bulletproof coffee in the morning, Gerbermatte in the afternoon, and you're going to get this additional energy push that your brain may need. By the way, guys, if you want to see how well is your brain performing, there's a special quiz I created for you. Check it out below. It only takes about two minutes to fill it up. And I'm sure you're going to be surprised by the results. So check it out. Link is below. And last but not least, supplements, brain supplements. So the best brain supplements or the top four that I would recommend taking on a daily basis are omega free. You can go for one to two grams per day. Then you can take the copper munairi, great for memory improvement. There is, of course, Rodiola Roussea, which is awesome for mitigating stress, which is, you know, what you need to your brain needs for optimal performance. And last but not least, there is Cognizine or Ceticulin or Alpha GPC, some kind of a colon compound that is awesome for memory and brain function. Now, I made another video just on brain supplement on the best and most effective brain supplements, when to take them, how to take them, why you should take them. And if you're interested, there's a video up here. Check it out. And I'm sure you're going to learn all about brain supplements, everything that you need. Now, in the beginning of this video, I promised to share with you a couple of hacks that will help you if you're right now mentally exhausted if you have brain fog. So here's what you can do. You can take a short power nap, 10 to 20 minutes, or even better, you can take a caffeine power nap if you drink coffee. Now, what this is, there's a video up there. Obviously, check it out. And I'm sure you're going to love it. You can take a cold shower as well. This will, you know, pump your blood in your system and basically light you up like a Christmas tree. And I'm sure you're going to love that. It doesn't feel good, though. You know, it's kind of a hard to take a cold shower. So, yeah, keep that in mind. Then you can do a short breathing exercise. You can go on a short walk. That's like super simple to do. And it only takes a couple of minutes. And last but not least, what you can do is you can drink a big glass of water, because listen to that. In most cases, when you are mentally exhausted, actually, the reason for that is that you're dehydrated. So you didn't drink enough of water during the day. So try it out, all those five things. And if you still feel mentally exhausted, then send me a comment or write me a comment, send me an email, whatever. And I'm going to help you find what's going on.
