Increase your IQ
Some tips to improve your mental skills
Based on our research and having tested the IQ of more than 2 million people, we now know that learning a new language, challenging our minds by doing puzzles and reading have been proven to increase our IQ score on any cognitive and aptitude test. Anyone, unless physically impaired, can get smarter.
We recommend our test takers to wait up to three months before taking an IQ test for the second time, due to their score would be artificially improved. Some psychologists argue that this is not really increasing intelligence, and they are right. However, this statement does not apply to all scenarios due to our personnel has witnessed many situations where test takers' physical conditions change; in these cases, IQ World experts use statistical tools to apply for corrective factors.
Our conclusion is that anything that challenges our brain and cognitive abilities raise our intelligence. In this sense, IQ tests and aptitude tests are a pretty decent indicator of memory, problem solving skills, and other cognitive functions.

Vitamins, Minerals and Fats our brain needs

Iron
Iron is essential for proper development of the brain cells that produce myelin and for the synthesis of neurotransmitters. An iron deficiency during fetal development can cause permanent learning and memory deficits. Furthermore, iron deficiencies during childhood can also cause cognitive impairment.
Antioxidants
We know that antioxidants are brain boosters because they simply protect brain cells and prevent our brain from premature cell aging.
