Also to improve IQ, you want to engage in a variety of brain exercises. If you are able to acquire a Nintendo DS Lite, there are a variety of brain games that you can purchase (Brain Age 1 & 2 are the best, Big Brain Academy is also good, Flash Focus is excellent - though it's more to improve your vision however, I find it's also good for the brain because it helps you to think faster as well). There are a few other good games and if you are interested I can list them but the ones I listed are the best.
The reason these exercises are so good is that they make the brain work in a variety of ways and that keeps your neural connections between parts of your brain healthy.
When we are young and in school, our brain is engaged in learning in a variety of areas, as we age, we use more of the knowledge that we have and not our learning. As a result, we begin to lose brain function in some of the areas such as memory.
There are a variety of brain exercises that you can do on your computer (the Nintendo is portable and handy to use anywhere). Word games, scrabble, multiplication tables, logic problems, cross words are all good games for your brain. Video games are great for hand/eye coordination. The Mental Games that you can buy with the Thought Stream are also good brain improvement games.
