exercise your brain.

鍛煉你的大腦。

Lay off the alcohol.

戒酒。

Alcohol is of course a depressant. It slows down mental functions. The effects of alcohol on a person's cognitive ability is well-documented. If you need peak mental performance, then stop drinking alcohol. In addition to its obvious effects, it also decreases the restfulness of one's sleep which, as we have already discussed, impedes your ability to think clearly.

酒精是抑郁的原因。它降低精神功能。酒能亂性是有充分證據的。如果你想要有頂尖的精神表現，那么停止喝酒吧。除了一些明顯的影響之外，它也減弱人的睡眠，這是我們已經討論過的，阻礙你清晰思考的能力。

Get romantic (especially if you're a woman).

擁有浪漫（特別是女性）。

Studies have shown that there may be a link between regular sex and improved brain performance in women. Love-making increases a woman's estrogen levels and higher estrogen levels are tied to better mental performance. Of course, the mental benefits probably do not outweigh the risks, unless you are in a faithful, monogamous relationship.

研究表明定期性生活和大腦活動提高對女性或許有著直接聯系。性影響著女性荷爾蒙分泌。而出于較高水平的荷爾蒙又能提高精神活動。當然，精神方面的愉悅并不是沒有一絲風險，除非你所在的關系式一段忠誠的一夫一妻關系。
