Proven ways to boost IQ

Exercise
People who exercise tend to have higher IQ scores than those who don't. On average, individuals that take care of their bodies tend to be more intelligent than the chronic couch potatoes. Exercise is known to stimulate brain cell growth through a process called neurogenesis and flood the brain with pleasurable neurotransmitters like dopamine.

Play video games
Games can be a great way to stimulate the brain. Try to play a game that is out of your usual range of choices. It will help you think differently.

Early to Bed, Early to Rise
Nothing makes it harder to concentrate than sleep deprivation. You'll be most rejuvenated if you go to bed early and don't sleep more than 8 hours. If you stay up late and compensate by sleeping late, you'll wake up lethargic and have trouble focusing.
