That's it? You just exercised and ate healthy?

>>9934727
Yes.
That's all it takes to get smarter.

and a good nights rest

Intelligence is fickle.
People want to hide this truth so that you stay stupid, but it's really a fluid thing with a maximum mental ceiling.

Your IQ is more of a range than anything else.

So If
>Cut out fast food
>eat more salad and fish
>Lift weights
>Sleep 7 hours a night
I'll just naturally become smarter? Noticeably smarter? Is it really that simple?

>>9934753
Yes. Your brain will rise.

You're keeping it down by not living healthy.

>>9934753
If you can't eat healthy all of the time, get some vitamins from Wal-mart.

Take them when you don't eat well.

>>9934754
Shit. I'm going to bed right now.

>>9934761
ha

>>9934764
Ha what?
It's all true.

Hunter gatherers have brains that run at peek performance. We live in a fucked-up, industrial society.

Everyday we are fucked with like cattle to a prod. We live a life out of balance with the way it should be.

You think there's no mental toll?

give me a quick run down of Cambridge brain sciences

Actually, I've also noticed that exercise can help, and I even have some quantitative data to back it up.
For a year or so, I've regularly done chess puzzles and played chess games on various sites where I receive objective ratings that measure my performance.
When I've spent a week mostly in my chair, not getting exercise, my performance often dips.
And after a few days of getting even half an hour or so of reasonably vigorous exercise (even just riding my bike around,) my ratings often increase.

It's a website that measures IQ through games

https://cambridgebrainsciences.com

The games are cognitive in nature, and I still fuck-up at them several months later and get poor scores when I feel down. A lot of the games match or are close to my initial scores

It has games that are highly G loaded on it like grammatical reasoning, digit span, etc.

Really great website

I made an IQ test that includes it

https://pastebin.com/WTwPh0i6

I broke 86th percentile on my grammatical reasoning today through exercise and jumped to 97th percentile

On the 6th I got a score of 20 points on it, but today I got 31, before that my highest was 25

It's pretty consistent

>IQ is correlated with success
>Success is correlated with intelligence
>If I practice IQ tests I will get more intelligent
I fucking hate this place

>>9934794
Thanks for the info, but it kinda seems like this website is for clinics and the like. What if it's just me trying to self help?

>>9934809
It works all the same.
Clinics are clinics, but you can run a clinic and place yourself as the patient

>>9934807
>Broke 86th percentile through exercise

You can't practice reading and making sense of what you've read.

It's an innate skill. When I wrote exercise, I meant actual exercise.

>Take brain drugs like an idiot
>Have problems thinking for years

Intelligence is fixed but measuring it will always be flawed, not only the testing but the expression. Your IQ can go up, but not your intelligence ceiling. Mine improved when I stopped being social isolated, sedentary, and having an inconsistent sleeping pattern.

Thank you anon
