As a person who is relatively on the same journey, I have come across several interesting methods to maximize the brain's potential.
-Taking fish oil and gingko biloba daily. Fish oil is rich in Omega fatty acids which leads to a numerous amount of health benefits, including a more healthy mind. Gingko biloba is generally believed to increase short-term memory. You should also drink at least 60-75 ounces of water a day.
-Exercising daily. I cannot stress this enough, as exercising not only relieves some of your stress (which kills brain cells), but also gets your blood flow going. I would recommend exercising or playing a sport with other people, as this will give you more motivation to carry through.
-Image streaming and breathing. Just type up "Two Profound ways to increase intelligence" on google and you can find more about this.
-Try to question everything in your daily life. I.E. when you're walking in a park, question why the park was designed this way (and what people can do to improve it).
-Google the "dual-n-back task."
-Have intellectual conversations as often as you can.
-Anything that makes you think to the best of your ability can increase your intelligence in a gradual way. If you like math, try to solve basic math problems (such as 64 x 87) in your head, and work your way up. You can also try AIME/AMC 12 math problems online. If you like video games, play flashflashrevolution, as I found that this game can increase my concentration a little.
Those are just some that are off of the top of my head.
