How To Boost Your Intellect

According to the BBC, playing Sudoku or taking a shower with your eyes closed can make you up to 40% cleverer.

Brain exercises can make us 40% smarter in just a week!
BBC created a programme that combined healthy eating, physical activity, sound sleep and mental stimulation for the study.

This is the programme they created : THE GET SMARTER GUIDE! ooh

SAT = Brush your teeth with your 'Other' hand, and take a shower with you eyes closed.
SUN= Do a crossword or Sudoku in the papers and take a walk
MON= Have oily fish such as Salmon or Tuna for dinner, and cycle or walk to work.
TUES= Select unfamiliar words from the dictionary and work them into a ubiquitous conversation. (I just tried it)
WED= Do Yoga, pilates or a meditation class. Talk to a stranger
THURS= Take a different route to work, Watch Brainteaser (what's that?)
FRI = Avoid Caffeine or alcohol, memorise shopping list.

Hmm, seems like pretty simple list of things to do.
I wonder if playing bejeweled has the same effect . lol

Must the ad reach people in a wide area? Then mass media, like newspaper and radio, might work. If the target market is a select group in a defined geographic area, then direct mail could be best. Define a media solution by formulating media strategies. For example, the rule of thumb is that a print ad must run three times before it gets noticed. Radio advertising is most effective when run at certain times of the day or around certain programs, depending on what market is being reached.
