my brain grade report

hola, selamat pagi.

tumben sekali ya pagi-pagi gini aku sudah bikin posting.

beberapa hari kemarin aku nemu link yang judulnya Test Your Brain Grade. iseng aku nyoba dan ternyata hasilnya bikin terkagum-kagum juga, sampai seakurat itu. program komputer dan internet masa ini sungguh canggih ya.

and below here is my result, want to find yours? just click here.

Brain Health Report

Your Grade: C

Your brain grade is a summary of your overall cognitive health today. Based on your lifestyle choices, we have compiled a complete brain health report with personalized analysis and suggestions for improvement from our neuroscientists.

DIET ANALYSIS

• You're drinking a moderate amount of coffee or tea. 

  Neuroscientist's Tip: Continue drinking a moderate amount of coffee or tea or consider switching to decaf.

  While some previous research has shown some neural benefits to drinking coffee and tea –- perhaps because of the antioxidants they contain -- our research suggests that drinking too much coffee and tea is associated with slowed processing speed.

• You're not eating enough fish or shellfish. 

  Neuroscientist's Tip: Eat fish.

  Consider adding at 1 or 2 servings of fish, shellfish, flaxseed oil, walnuts, or cooked soybeans to your weekly diet. These foods all contain omega-3 fatty acids that are critical for communication between brain cells. If you have special dietary requirements and cannot consume fish or shellfish, get your omega-3 fatty acids from flaxseed oil, walnuts, or soybeans.

  DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is a particularly important omega-3 fatty acid that is a component of the structure of brain cells.

• You're not eating enough foods high in antioxidants. 

  Neuroscientist's Tip: Eat more foods with lots of antioxidants.

  You’re getting some antioxidant rich foods in your diet, but you could be getting even more! Adding certain types of antioxidant-rich berries, beans, and vegetables to your meal plan will help you boost your brain health.

• You avoid excess alcohol consumption; that's good for your brain.

  Neuroscientist's Tip: Continue to avoid excessive alcohol consumption.

  Avoiding excessive alcohol consumption is increasing your brain grade. Keep it up.

EXERCISE ANALYSIS

• You're not getting regular aerobic exercise. 

  Neuroscientist's Tip: Get more aerobic exercise.

  Aerobic exercise leads to the growth and development of brain cells, and may even stimulate the production of new brain cells. Adding some aerobic exercise to your exercise regimen will increase your brain grade.

  Lack of aerobic exercise has been associated with decreased cognitive performance.

• You're not getting regular strength training.

  Neuroscientist's Tip: Do some strengthening exercise.

  Strength training is an important part of overall fitness and a key to keep your brain healthy. Adding some strength training to your exercise regimen will increase your brain grade.

  Strong muscles improve balance and reduce frailty, making it less likely that you will experience a serious injury that could restrict your movements and throw your brain-healthy lifestyle out of balance.

HEALTH ANALYSIS

• Stress has been a major part of your life. 

  Neuroscientist's Tip: Keep your brain healthy to help deal with stress.

  You indicated that you have had some stress in your recent life. Some stress is an unavoidable part of work, social, and family life, but too much stress can have a detrimental effect on cognition. Keeping your brain healthy in other areas can help you prepare for and recover from these stressors.

• You're sleeping too much. 

  Neuroscientist's Tip: Sleep a little less.

  While the ideal amount of sleep differs by individual, most need between 6-8 hours for optimal cognitive performance. If you’re sleeping too much, this can actually reduce your level of alertness and reduce brain performance.

  Younger people often require more sleep while older adults often require less.

• You abstain from smoking. 

  Neuroscientist's Tip: Continue to abstain from smoking.

  Smoking can be detrimental to your cognitive function in a variety of ways, and has been linked to an increased incidence of cognitive decline. By not smoking, you're keeping your brain, and body as a whole, in much better shape.

LIFESTYLE ANALYSIS

• Your brain health can be positively affected by your strong social network. 

  Neuroscientist's Tip: Connect with your social network.

  Your social network is improving your brain grade.

  Having a close and active social network has been shown to be associated with a reduced risk of cognitive problems in aging.

• You're doing cognitively stimulating activities that are good for your brain. 

  Neuroscientist's Tip: Keep doing cognitively stimulating activities.

  While there has been little rigorous study of the benefits of particular leisure time activities, many scientists believe that engaging in cognitively stimulating activities is good for keeping the brain sharp.

• You're improving your brain health by taking on new challenges. 

  Neuroscientist's Tip: Continue to challenge yourself.

  Continue to challenge yourself. Taking on new challenges is an important part of keeping your brain functioning its best. Brain plasticity, the ability for the brain to reorganize itself, is spurred on by new challenges.

• Training your brain isn't part of your weekly routine. 

  Neuroscientist's Tip: Start training your brain.

  Doing some cognitive training will improve your brain grade.

  Studies have shown that doing cognitive training exercises can improve attention, memory, and fluid intelligence. These types of exercises have also been shown to have benefits for driving performance and health-related quality of life.

COGNITION ANALYSIS

• Whether or not you have problems with cognition, you should still take care of your brain. 

  No matter what your starting point, you can take actions to improve and maintain your brain. By eating right, getting proper exercise, keeping your body healthy, staying socially active, and engaging in cognitive exercises, you can enhance your cognitive performance.
