Boosting your brainpower is an excellent way to burn calories without physical exercise or strict dieting. Don't believe me? Well consider this: Did you know that your brain uses between 20 and 30 percent of the daily calories you use? Were you also aware that your brain reduces the amount of calories it consumes as you grow older, further diminishing your brain's caloric requirements? Research suggests lack of brain stimulation may be one of the reasons why our caloric restrictions increase when we're in our golden years.
How can you use this information to assist you with your weight loss goals? Stimulate your brain as often as possible! The more you use your brain, the more calories it will need to maintain function, so you will effortlessly burn more calories than if you kept your brain in an increasingly complacent state.
The coolest thing about boosting your brain power is that there are so many ways to do it, so finding methods that work for you are virtually effortless. And it doesn't have to be difficult at all. There are literally millions of ways you can maximize your brain's usage and there are countless options available that will suit your preferences, so you'll never get bored. Studying a new skill, taking on a new hobby - even learning a few words and phrases in a new language - these all count as brain-boosting skills that will stimulate your brain and indirectly increase the number calories it burns on a daily basis.
