Factors influencing mental agility include diet, genetics, upbringing, lifestyle, and education.
Dr. Vincent, founder of the respected health brand Renovatio Bioscience, emphasizes that increasing IQ is achievable through brain training, proper nutrition, and regular exercise.
Here are his top tips for enhancing IQ:

1. Play Brain Games: Engage in activities like card games, sudoku, wordle, crosswords, and jigsaw puzzles. Regular play not only improves working memory but also enhances reasoning skills.

2. Read Regularly: Devote at least 30 minutes a day to reading, whether fiction or nonfiction. Reading supports cognitive abilities, brain development, memory, imagination, and spatial skills.

3. Enhance Visuospatial Skills: Practice activities that develop visuospatial skills, such as gross motor activities with closed eyes, object localization, and puzzles like jigsaw puzzles. Hobbies like photography, chess, memory games, and drawing are also beneficial.

4. Improve Executive Control Activities: Boost executive control skills, vital for reasoning and problem-solving, through games like brainteasers, riddles, and crosswords, especially cryptic ones. Engage in activities that stimulate strategic thinking and planning.

5. Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle: Lifestyle choices significantly impact IQ. Adopting a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean meats, regular exercise, and avoiding processed foods, smoking, excessive alcohol, and drugs positively affect both physical and mental health.

6. Consider Supplements: Certain supplements, such as omega-3 fatty acids and activated saffron, show potential cognitive benefits, including enhanced memory and mood. Dr. Vincent’s trials indicate that activated saffron, combined with activated phenolics, supports mental and nervous system wellbeing, mood balance, and sleep quality, contributing to increased IQ.
Dr. Vincent underscores the importance of consistent engagement in brain-stimulating activities, coupled with adequate sleep, proper nutrition, and rest, to achieve a gradual and lasting improvement in IQ.
