 - Intelligence is flexible and there are a lot of things to give it a daily boost. For smart thinking your mind needs 3 things:To be trained in thinking processes, to have plenty of information and to focus on a problem or idea.

For example, Thomas Edison was able to think of his light bulb because he was a trained logical thinker. he knew a lot about electrical engineering and he focused on solving a problem.

Here are a bunch of things to do every day to help your mind to think smart.

1. Drink 2 glasses of water within 30 minutes of waking up – Since you’ve been asleep for hours, your body has not gotten water for 6-9 hours. Water is needed for the filtration of waste products and fluid balance. Two big glasses of water offset the fluid deficit you had from sleeping. Studies on kids (study 1, study 2) show that drinking more water increases their ability to complete mental tasks. Make sure your brain is not dehydrated at the beginning of the day already.

2. Read a book summary during breakfast – Reading books is great, but breakfast is far more suitable for something shorter. Instead of reading news articles that have little impact on your life/intelligence, read best selling book summaries.
