As an adult, is it possible to boost your I. Q. by improving your diet?

[jennifer_bloom]

They say it works for kids but not sure about adults.

Although intelligence is largely genetic, yes because 50% of the brain consists of fat, intelligence can be increased by consuming nuts and olive oil regularly

You can certainly reduce your IQ by having a poor diet, so I assume the reverse is also true.

[Infinity_Soup]

Nope

Diet can improve function of the brain, but not overall knowledge, intelligence, or mental flexibility.

For instance, let's say (when everything is working perfectly) your brain is operating at 100%. With poor diet, it might only operate at 90%. When you're sick on top of that, it's probably operating in the range of 60%-70%. The way your brain works and operates at 100% is still there, but because of certain situations, it's not working efficiently. So when everything is good, thinking is quick and efficient. When everything is bad, it's slow and ineffective. But the way your brain naturally operates, it's knowledge and peak IQ, is the same.

Another example might be a car. When you change the oil regularly, refill the coolant, and use the right octane fuel, your car is able to be at peak performance. But if it's been 10k miles since you last changed your oil, your coolant is half gone, and you've been using an octane fuel your car wasn't designed to use, fuel economy is likely to go down, system resistance goes up, things get sluggish, etc. So you want to make sure that you're taking care of those things so you're always at peak performance (based on the way it was designed to perform). Otherwise, your car won't work as efficiently and effectively as it could be.

That said, IQ is a sort of "relative" thing. There's no truly standardized way of testing IQ. Different organizations use different tests and different testing methods. Additionally, IQ doesn't really mean anything with regard to overall knowledge base. Testing IQ a way to determine the types of knowledge your brain comprehends, at what level it comprehends it, and how flexible your brain is when given new rules for how to perceive things, but it doesn't really say how smart you are.

And so, to improve IQ, you should practice tests or games that are used in IQ tests. You might find online tests and play them as regularly as allowed. Probably better if you're able to find a test from a qualified organization (whatever that might mean). Take note of the areas in the test you seem "deficient" and work on those subjects. If it's math or reading comprehension, you might find other sites that specifically offer help in those areas. If it's mental flexibility related, you might see if there are games out there to improve the type of flexibility being tested. I wager, if you do this several times a week (on average) and work on it for a year, you'll see your IQ (as tested by that organization) go up dramatically. I also wager that, even if you do no other outside work and all you do is just take the IQ tests over and over again, you'll likely still see in increase in IQ over time. Probably not as dramatic as actually "working" on deficient areas, but still indicating that your brain is getting better at the tested areas of intelligence.

I agree about what did you said but

First thing if you want more IQ you have to visit spaicel doctor. You never know your real IQ

And most things help brain is sports like. Running and swimming and yoga. ( Yoga don't help a lot but it's work )

Ther some midecal çan help you but you have to visit doctor first.
And it's work for adults for ex me when i was 19 my iQ was 124 now aim 24 and my iQ is more than 148

[Sameone]

Yes, this is true

but by eating special materials. Such as walnuts, almonds, and special medications in concentration.

And with practicing sports, running, swimming, and yoga, this, these are types of sports that increase glycerin in the mind, and the mind turns them into white cells (in other words, easier. Extra storage space).

When i was 19 my. IQ was 124
And now aim 24 and my IQ is more than 148

And you can't know how much is your real IQ. Only whit spaicel doctor

[Sameone]

And it's work whit chirldn and adult

[exitseven]

Yes, especially if you have a steady diet of CNN and the View.

[Kykiono1]

I never heard of it.

[Sameone]

Yes you can't but first you have to visit spaicel doctor

[Anonymous]

No. Intelligence is established at birth.

[Cazaputas]

No.
