Lots Of Walking
Studies have shown that people who happen to live in pedestrian-oriented cities are smarter than those who live in cities with more transport. It may sound rather unbelievable, but when they studied larger cities’ pedestrian districts, the same results were achieved. In short, the more regularly you walk, the smarter you probably are.
Great Self-Control
Smart people are capable of managing impulsiveness and can be good at suppressing emotions. On top of that, before they even begin doing something, they tend to think of consequences. One study asked individuals to choose between two options: either immediately get less money or throughout the year get more money. In other tests, those who chose the latter got more points and achieved more success.
