By Nathalie Doremieux


Brain gym exercises help you in achieving the total potential of your brain power. These are quite similar to many of the memory exercises and concentration improvement games that people frequently take up for improving concentration levels and enhancing your memory power. The main difference that you find is that have been especially designed to work on all areas of the brain and require constant work every day. Because of this, brain gym exercises can successfully improve lots of the incapacities and learning limitations like ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia and so on.

Here are some of the straightforward brain gym exercises that may be quite easily done by anybody, routinely, and get great results:

Drink a lot of water:

Our body is made up of 70 to 75% of water. Out of all the organs in your body, brain contains almost 90% of water. So it's vital to keep it hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Drinking water in intense circumstances helps improving your concentration and your brain functions.

Deep breathing exercises:

Deep breathing techniques are known to bring good quantities of oxygen to the brain which improves your brain function. Observe your breathing whenever you are in a stressful situation and you will be surprised to discover that your breathing is shallow and rapid during such times. This kind of uneven and weak breathing lowers the oxygen supply and makes it harder for the brain to work to its full potential.

Hook Ups

Hook ups are excellent stress busters that you can use when you become all nerves before a test or an interview. In truth you could use it before any event that asks you to focus and be stress-free.

This can be done by standing or alternatively by sitting with your legs crossed. Cross over the left wrist with your right wrist so that all your fingers are linked up. Then gently bend the elbows out to turn the fingers in such a way that they rest on the central bone of your chest. Keep that position and concentrate on your breathing: it should be even and deep.
