Can you make yourself smarter with training or mindful thinking or nutrition or healthy habits?

Somebody posted online that if you study immediately after a physical work out, it will make you smarter. I know people who went from severely brain damaged after accidents to very above average within 20 years. My friend in high school had a brain tumour in child hood and became a pharmacist and taught pharmacy at the University of Toronto. In high school she was the top student in her entire grade. Her brother had a speech therapist for years as a kid cause he could not speak properly and now is almost 7 feet tall and gets above 98% in actuarial science at the University of Waterloo.

I think that I was hyper active when I was a kid. I never could sit still and always had trouble concentrating. When I got into long distance running I think it helped me slow my thinking down and helped me concentrate better. Msybe it was the endorphins.

I'm not sure about "mindful thinking", but all the other methods are all valid, though not really quick (as if there was a quick way to become smarter 😀).

All of the above

I don't think so.
