如何提高你的智力

Minimize television watching

將看電視的時間減到最少

This is a hard sell. people love vegetating in front of the television, myself included more often than i’d like. the problem is watching television doesn’t use your mental capacity or allow it to recharge. it’s like having the energy sapped out of a muscle without the health benefits of exercise.

這個需要強制執行。人們喜愛在電視機前虛度光陰，包括我自己在內，更多時候這并非我所愿。問題是，看電視并不會使用腦力或者給大腦充電。這就如同沒有經過對健康有益的鍛煉，就把肌肉中的能量消耗掉一樣。

Don’t you feel drained after a couple hours of tv? your eyes are sore and tired from being focused on the light box for so long. you don’t even have the energy to read a book.

看了幾個小時電視之后你不感到筋疲力盡嗎？如此長時間地盯著燈箱，你的眼睛會又疼又累。你甚至沒有精力再去讀一本書了。

When you feel like relaxing, try reading a book instead. if you’re too tired, listen to some music. when you’re with your friends or family, leave the tube off and have a conversation. all of these things use your mind more than television and allow you to relax.

當你想放松一下時，試著去讀一本書。當你太累了時，聽聽音樂。當你跟朋友或家人在一起時，關上電視跟他們說說話。所有這些事都比看電視讓你更多地運用了大腦，并且能讓你得到放松。
