brain activity

i was  reading  a book last night  about  the  human  brain.the  author  a doctor, which  have  scanned  thousands  of brain. he  says , our  brain does not rest while  we  are  still  alive,even in our  sleep it continue to function. the full  development our brain rest on constant usage of it to its full potential. neorons  and   many neurons  are  produced and  strenghtened by its  full  activity. thats  the  reason maybe why an idle  mind does  not  bring  any  good, we  had  to  learn amd  to  learn for  something  new to  keep us  alive  and  exploit  its potential . the  human  brain  needs  only glucose  and  oxygen as  nourishment  aside  from rest  and  exercise , avoid  coffee and  liquor  cigarrettes  for its  optimum performance. thats  the  reason maybe i  enjoy  playing  chess i  am not not  yet  achieve  my  level because  its  only now i have  begin  to  have  serious  studies  about  chess.this  is  all  for  now.

I agree. :)

keep reading so interesting books

I think you are right the brain needs to be activated and used

there is a difference what you do in chess.

if you focus on learning and remembering openings you activate one side of the brain. the ability to recall.

if you focus on tactics you are working another part of your brain.

the last mentioned is the most vital brain function to use in my view, since it is dealing with working on a problem and solving it.

but it is also important to work on the ability to remember and recall things. in todays society we do not remember anything. we use our notebook to write down things we want to remember. The result is that we cannot recall much. which means the brains isn't used to recall trivia or anything. chess helps working on the ability to recall things.

no coffee :( I wonder how true that is???

It's like a muscle. When you excercise them, they grow better. :)

yes, iam also a coffee lover to keep me off from sleeping and stay awake for performance but we need to rest and sleep  for optimum performance.

Yes I am.

What's the reward?

I think a daily supply of vitamins is vital for the brain.(b6 and b12 and vitamin E)

also drinking juice.

eating fish also helps or a supply of omega 3 is important for the brain.

the brain is a machine that needs the right fuel.

lots of excercise.

thanks for  additional comments

natural omega fats derived from salmon and herring  are advisable when not cultivated  and the fresh ones. antioxidants as blueberries any berries will do. neurons  and many neurons die  when unuse. the good news is  our brain produces  also new neurons  after its death  as  replacement according to the book ive read. thanks  again for your  comment.
