1 Eat a balanced diet
A balanced diet will give most people the energy they need for physical activity.

Have a healthy snack like an apple, a whole-wheat bagel, or a handful of baby
carrots if you're running low on energy.

2 Drink plenty of fluids
This is very important when it's hot out and when you do intense exercise.
3 Use a sports drink, such as Gatorade or Powerade, if you will be exercising for
longer than 1 hour, and try to drink it at least every 15 to 20 minutes.
4 Avoid drinks with caffeine or alcohol. They increase dehydration.
5 Don't take salt tablets. Most people get plenty of salt in their diets.
6 If you are worried about replacing minerals lost through sweating, use a sports drink.

7 Make sure you take proper rest

Tips to increase grasping power

1 Grasping power depends upon practice and concentration.
2 If you keep a focused mind only on one thing that you would like to achieve then
your grasping power pertaining to that area will definitely increase.
3 Try noting down the things you are unable to grasp easily and recall them every
night you sleep and check till how many days you are able to recall them with
ease.After some time you get habituated to this but this time you don't need to
note them down but you'll be grasping them instantly.
4 The other way is make sure you try to memorize things you need using key
words. Once that key word strikes your mind, you'll be able to get the entire
scenario.

Thinking speed can be improved by brain storming a variety of ideas pertaining to that area which you are trying to think. So once you try to inculcate these habits you can improve them gradually.

Grasping and thinking speed development needs a rigorous practice.
