2.       Breathe deeply- It is essential to breathe deeply to have a safe and sound mind. Inhale to the count of 4, hold for a count of 7 and exhale to the count of 8. This exercise is much needed before you start your day.

3.       Eat Healthy- Omega 3 is a vital ingredient which helps improve concentration and increases retention power. It is essential to keep your meals balanced so as to avoid nutritional deficiencies.

4.       Drink Water- Since 2/3^rd of the brain is composed of water, it is essential that you must drink more than 10 glasses of water in a day.

5.       Avoid Alcohol/Smoking- Alcohol and smoking can have drastic impact on your body and mind. While the alcohol shrinks the cerebral cortex, smoking lowers blood and oxygen supply to brain.
