Unfortunately, giving your brain a workout isn't as simple as buying a gym membership.
However, the simple act of crossing your arms and legs has been shown to improve brain functioning.

Your central nervous system divides the left and right sides of the body, including your left and right brain hemispheres.

And by crossing this line with your arms or legs, both halves of your brain are activated.

This, in turn, leads to lowered stress levels along with optimal brain functionality and mental synchronization.
