You ever walk into a room just to forget where you were going or what you were looking for? How about finding your car keys in the fridge or the dog’s food in your cereal bowl? Sounds like you could use a brain boost. There’re some really great ways you can train the old thinker!

Did you know, for example, that automated actions stall your brain since it’s not taking an active part in what you’re doing? Or that solving math problems doesn’t even rack your brain as much as learning an unfamiliar tongue? And if you have a sweet tooth, this one’s for you: chocolate contains an important amino acid that helps your brain process things faster and with more efficiency!

SUMMARY:
– Drawing makes your right brain hemisphere work like a hundred horses, triggering creativity and helping you find unconventional solutions to problems at hand.
– Automated actions stall your brain since it’s not taking an active part in what you’re doing. To avoid this lack of memory and train your brain at the same time, change up your routine every day.
– You can get a degree that fits your schedule, and avoid student-debt at University of the People, the first non-profit, US-accredited, online university, where you can get a tuition-free Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in the most in-demand fields like: business administration, education, health, computer science.
– If you’re a righty, take a spoon or your toothbrush into your left hand and do the usual stuff. Lefties, you’re now righties for the day!
– Typing on a keyboard or smartphone is okay too, but actual writing with a pen on paper activates critical-thinking and increases your analytical skills.
– When you learn a language, you take on a whole new system, and your brain has no other choice but to adapt to the circumstances.
– Chess is one of the oldest strategic games in the world, and it’s stood the test of time because it’s awesome, as simple as that. If you play it regularly, you’ll learn to concentrate and think bigger, taking actions that will affect your life a few steps ahead.
– One 2015 study found that action video games in particular improve reaction time, observation skills, and decision-making.
– House work also contributes to your brain power. It boils down to physical activity (which is great for the noggin, but more on that later!). It’s also effective at taking your mind off the bigger problems too.
– Walking increases your blood flow, which means more blood (and oxygen that hitchhikes along with it) reaches your brain. This boosts the thinking organ’s activity, making it more flexible when it comes to important stuff.
– If you have a sweet tooth, this one’s for you: chocolate contains an important amino acid, lysin, that helps your brain process things faster and with more efficiency. It’s only about dark chocolate, though, because lysin is found in cocoa beans.
– Here’s a simple exercise that will fill your brain with oxygen and let you feel a rush of energy. Exhale all the air from your lungs and hold your breath for as long as you can. When you can’t hold it any longer, breathe in powerfully and repeat. The influx of air into your lungs will send oxygen to the tissues, and your blood will start pumping faster.
– Just don’t forget to check out the link to today’s video sponsor down in the description box. It’ll take you to University of the People, where a great brain-training journey awaits!

We, humans, are born with an innate curiosity. Most of the questions people search start with the word “why”! Why is the sky blue? Why do birds stand on one leg? Why are manholes round?

Do you know, for example, why flamingoes are pink? Or why sunsets on Mars are blue? Or why cats are afraid of cucumbers? (Btw, do NOT try to scare a cat friend with cucumbers. It’s a big stress for your pet. Be nice.) So, care to learn the answers to the most common “whys”? Here you go!

SUMMARY:
– Flamingoes are born gray. But their feathers turn pink later on because of a natural pink dye!
– Each BIC pen has two tiny holes in it to keep the air pressure equal outside and inside.
– Snails have anywhere from 1,000 to 14,000 tiny sharp teeth.
– In Canada, you can legally pay for your purchases in coins featuring Superman.
– It took Erno Rubik, the creator of the famous cube, a staggering one month to solve it!
– Stripes serve as camouflage for tigers, effectively hiding them from other animals. But the most curious thing is that tigers have not only striped fur, but striped skin as well.
– In the past, men’s dress shirt collars were detachable. It helped people save money on laundry costs.
– Sunsets on Mars are blue, which has to do with the Martian air – or rather with the fine dust floating in it.
– Bringing one leg up to their body helps birds keep warm when it’s chilly outside.
– The northern leopard frog is the scariest creature: it swallows prey with the help of its eyes! This amphibian can press its eyes deep down into its mouth, and this movement helps the frog to swallow.
– Researchers have discovered that one cloud can weigh more than 1 million pounds!
– In Singapore, you’ll find the world’s tallest vending machine where you can buy… a car!
– You can’t bring your pooch along if you travel to Antarctica. Since April 1994, all dogs have been banned from this continent because they could infect seals with diseases that they aren’t immune to.
– You don’t sneeze in your sleep, simply because your brain shuts down this reflex while you’re slumbering.
– The brain is the fattiest organ in your body because it’s composed of approximately 60% fat!
– Super powerful earthquakes can make days shorter, because they move the spin of the Earth’s axis!
– Yellow is the color that is the easiest to spot, even in the darkness. That’s why taxis and school buses are mostly this shade.
– However unbelievable it may sound, a cat’s purr starts in its brain! And only after that, the brain sends orders to a cat’s throat muscles, which then start to make 25 to 150 vibrations a second!
– Don’t take the assumption that light travels at the speed of, well, light, for granted. The slowest light ever moved at only 38 miles per hour!

#noequipment #ecxessfat #burnfat

Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/

SUMMARY:
– Jogging in place is a gentle way to get your blood pumping before the more heavy-duty stuff, making it a great warm-up move. It’ll also keep that heart rate up in between more intense cardio exercises.
– Another way to intensify this workout is by widening the distance between your legs. If you have your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, it’ll take even more energy to lift them up, helping you get your heart rate up even more.
– If you’re comfortable doing the regular burpee, you can kick things up a notch by doing a little jump at the end with your hands reaching toward the ceiling. The key to this exercise is buoyancy. When you’re kicking your feet off the ground and getting back up, putting all your energy into it with a little bounce is what will really get your heart rate going.
– The jab cross is a fast-paced move you can do with your arms to really focus and get your heart rate up. This is a great way to strengthen the shoulders and upper arms, and get that pent-up anger out!
– If you really wanna work up a sweat, mountain climbers will definitely do the trick. Not only does this exercise get your heart racing, it also engages your core, helping you to achieve those rock-hard abs of your dreams.
– Here’s an exercise that’s pretty easy to do and very effective at burning fat. That’s because the squatting motion combined with the light jump takes quite a lot of energy and can get your heart rate up almost immediately after starting.
– After a few weeks of regular cardio, you’ll probably notice that carrying heavy bags of groceries from the car to the house no longer leaves you in a nasty sweat. And doing basic things like rearranging heavy furniture or running for the bus no longer takes the wind out of you.

There are a lot of things in this world that are hard to understand, but the human brain has to be the most incomprehensible. Like, why do you forget some things and remember others? How come rejection feels like physical pain? Why is it a bit harder to read texts written in all caps? Let’s figure out!

How your brain makes you gain weight 0:22

What “Bystander Effect” is 1:12

Why less really is more 1:40

How your subconscious rule your life 2:34

Your gut almost never lets you down 3:19

Can people multitask? 3:56

What emotional pain really is 4:25

How your memories change 4:49

Why it’s harder to read texts written in all caps 5:26

Why you’re a very poor predictor 6:22

Why you shouldn’t go shopping in a bad mood 6:57

Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/

SUMMARY:
– Not all people read those calorie charts. So they don’t even know that the “healthy” salad they chose can actually contain as many calories as a cheeseburger.
– It’s been proven multiple times that the more people witness an emergency, the fewer chances one of them will help.
– If you wanna sell something, try to fight the urge to bombard your customers with dozens of options. And if you’re a consumer, pick one from a maximum of 4 alternatives.
– Almost all your choices are made through unconscious mental processing.
– You should trust your subconscious more – it tends to make decisions much faster than you do.
– If you’re engaged in some physical mundane task you’ve done a million times before, you can simultaneously busy yourself with a mental one.
– Emotional pain activates the same regions of your brain as physical pain does.
– Despite what some researchers used to believe in the past, the brain doesn’t focus on word shapes – it pays attention to letter shapes and sequences. First, you recognize the letters in a word and then proceed to figure out the word as a whole, even if they’re not in the right order!
– It turns out that people tend to overestimate their potential reactions to different future events.
– When people are stressed, they aren’t likely to try anything new. They tend to stick to familiar products they’ve at least seen in commercials on TV.

How to stay safe while traveling? Now and then magazines, newspapers, and websites publish lists of the safest and the most dangerous travel destinations. But in fact, there’s always a chance of being robbed or attacked in any country in the world. When you’re unfamiliar with your surroundings, it can make you vulnerable to people looking to take advantage of you. Before going on a trip to another city or country, it’s better to consider your safety in advance. Luckily, there are some great hacks you can use to make your travels safe and worry-free, like putting a glass on the door handle of your hotel room!

The Only Way to Survive in a Free Falling Elevator https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_HgPXgJ16I

TIMESTAMPS:
Put a glass on your doorknob 0:39
Download maps and translations to access them offline 1:22
Use a dummy wallet 2:02
Email yourself important documents as a backup 2:39
Stay in a hotel room on the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th floor 3:12
Hang the “Do Not Disturb Sign” even if you’re not there 3:58
Don’t say personal information out loud when checking in 4:37
Cover that peephole! 5:13
Don’t use the hotel safe 6:06
Avoid unsecure Internet connections 6:42
Use cabs cautiously 7:51

Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/

SUMMARY:
– Slip a drinking glass onto the door handle of your hotel room, on your side. That way, if someone turns the knob as you’re sleeping, the glass will fall and alert you that someone has opened the door.
– Before going on your trip, download translated phrases from language apps. That way, in case you can’t access the Internet, you’ll still know how to say things like, “Where’s the bathroom?”
– Use a second wallet in addition to your regular one as a “dummy wallet.” You can even fill it with fake cash or plastic cards so that it looks legit. If you get pickpocketed or, even worse, mugged in the street, the perp won’t make off with your real wallet.
– In the hustle and bustle of travel, it’s pretty easy to lose important documents like your license or passport, especially when you’re taking them in and out of your bag to show authorities. If you’re worried about losing these precious documents, scan them and email the copies to yourself.
– Choosing a room between the 2nd and 4th floors puts you at less risk of being robbed. That’s because thieves typically hit the first or ground floor since it’s easier to get away fast.
– Even if you’re not around, leaving the “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door makes staff and potential thieves think that you’re in there. If you want to take things a step further, turn your TV on at a low volume and leave it on when you head out.
– There have actually been cases of people being spied on and even filmed through these peepholes! This is a total violation of privacy! So by taping some paper over the peephole of your hotel room door, you can really protect yourself.
– Hotel safes are a great way to keep your jewelry, money, and important documents secure, right? Believe it or not, they’re actually the first things thieves go for when robbing a room.
– When you’re traveling, you’ll stumble upon a number of cafes, bookshops, and restaurants with open Wi-Fi. While this is super convenient, it’s also super unsafe.
– When getting into a cab while traveling, don’t ever say that you’re a tourist. This immediately makes you a target! The driver may assume you don’t know anything about your surroundings and take advantage of you, like driving longer to hike up your fare.

You don’t need to be a clairvoyant to read people’s minds. If you wanna read others like an open book, all you gotta do is pay attention to their body language. It’s essentially all the ways you express yourself, aside from the actual words you speak. Nonverbal cues are so important in all kinds of situations! For instance, they can make or break a business deal and really come in handy on a first date! Being able to tell if others have the wrong intentions simply through their body language could even help save your life one day!

TIMESTAMPS:
Observe their appearance 1:04
Notice their posture 1:36
Watch their physical movements 2:03
Examine their face 2:46
Listen to your gut 3:32
Recognize the chills 4:25
Look out for flashes of insight 4:58
Look for emotional empathy 5:20
Beware of their vibe 5:56
Observe their eyes 6:44
If there’s physical contact, analyze it 7:31
Listen to their tone 8:31
Look for physical barriers 8:58
Watch their hands 9:31
Notice what they touch 10:16
Look at their feet 11:01

Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/

SUMMARY:
– What are they wearing? If they look more polished, this person is probably there to impress. Is their style more casual? This could mean that they’re relaxed.
– When someone is puffed up and a little too confident, this could mean a big ego.
– Has this person crossed their arms and legs? You’ve gotta know this one by now: it’s the defensive body language of someone who’s trying to protect or distance themselves.
– Crow’s feet usually mean a lot of smiling and happiness. This individual is probably a joy to be around!
– Our “gut” can sense the things that are beyond the obvious. So if yours is telling you something is just off about a certain person, you might wanna take the hint!
– We usually get the chills or goosebumps when someone moves us, strikes an emotional chord, or inspires us.
– During interactions, you might have a “flash” of insight about a person that hits you out of nowhere.
– If someone shows empathy or, alternatively, lacks it, it can be either a really good or a really bad sign.
– Most of the time, “creepy” people don’t even understand social cues. Then again, some of them just don’t care, especially if you’ve tried to establish a boundary, and they continue to cross it again and again.
– Mean eyes are completely devoid of any compassion and are hard to connect with. Note the gut feeling you get when looking into someone’s eyes.
– Does their handshake or hug feel warm and inviting or does it make you feel like you wanna run for the nearest exit? Speaking of handshakes, they’re practically a language in and of themselves!
– Remember, it’s not just what you say but how you say it. Tone is everything.
– If someone has built a sort of wall between you, then chances are they’re not your biggest fan!
– If a person hides their hands, this is usually a sign that they’re hiding some ill intention or lie.
– If they touch or scratch their neck, they’re likely insecure about something. Constantly rubbing their nose is a notorious cue that someone is lying or otherwise trying to be deceptive.
– If it seems like your conversation partner is listening to you but their feet are pointed towards the door, you should know that they’re actually thinking about how they can get out of there.

#bellyfat #workout #athomeexercises

Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/

SUMMARY:
– Jumping jacks with burpees are incredibly beneficial for your heart, coordination, and flexibility. In addition, it works out your whole body and different muscle groups.
– The common plank itself is a powerful core exercise, but a walking plank with a little movement to it makes this well-known exercise even more challenging and effective. A walking plank is especially good for your upper body while still giving your other muscles a good workout.
– A split squat jump is one of those rare exercises that transforms your legs completely while making them stronger at the same time. This type of jump also strengthens your thigh muscles, helping you get the perfect buttocks you’ve always dreamed of!
– Doing Spider-Man push-ups regularly will teach your chest and arm muscles to work harder. The result is simple: strong and beautiful arms and truly flawless abs.
– Sprinter sit-ups are considered to be one of the best ab exercises ever created. This is all thanks to the ability of this exercise to stretch your hip flexors and strengthen them along with your ab muscles!
– Sit-through exercises are a one-of-a-kind treat for your body if you want to lose weight. This exercise burns excess calories like no other and builds dynamic strength within your muscles and core.
