Science of Making Yourself or Anyone a Genius

This book is an attempt to scientifically under-study the human brain and to unravel mysteries about the brain and processes of becoming a genius. The introduction of high-quality, easily digested nutrients from sea foods into the human diet coincided with the rapid expansion of grey matter in the cerebral cortex -- a defining characteristic of the modern human brain.

The DHA molecule has unique structural properties that provide optimal conditions for a wide range of cell membrane functions, and grey matter is a particularly membrane-rich tissue responsible for intelligence levels.

There's no doubt you need omega-3 fat for better brain function. In fact, mounting evidence suggests that deficiency in this essential fat may lead to brain degeneration.

Until just a few years ago, doctors believed that the brain stopped making new neural connections - meaning that the brainpower, memory and general IQ began to get irreversibly worse - when the body stopped developing, usually in the early 20s Loss of brain function due to neural breakdown was assumed to be a normal, unavoidable part of aging. It turns out they were wrong.

In the past few years, it has become clear that you can, in fact, make new neurons continuing well into old age. You can literally rewire the brain with new parts as the older parts wear out. The level of intelligence you are born with is just a starting point. You can boost it to the level of a super genius.

Do you often find yourself forgetting what you have learned, phone numbers, names of people you have known for years and where you put your keys? We often blame age and genetics for memory lapses, but the problem may be related to something as simple as how we eat. Long before we notice any physical symptoms of poor nutrition, our thinking, memory, personality and intelligence can be affected. So feeling well doesn't necessarily mean your brain is working at its best.
