[einstein chalkboard learning smart]Getty There’s a fascinating link between geniuses and eccentric behavior. Einstein picked cigarette butts off the street and used the tobacco for his pipe. Benjamin Franklin sat naked in front of a window every morning and let the air circulate over his body. He called it an “air bath.” Their eccentricity isn’t completely without explanation; there are mental benefits behind some of their madness. Here are eight quirky habits from geniuses that will make you smarter. Wikimedia Commons 1. MAKE LOVE. A LOT. Émilie du Châtelet went unrecognized for her pioneering scientific work in the early 18th century but was notorious for her active sex life. The latter may have been responsible for the former; researchers at Konkuk University in Seoul noted that sexual activity improves cognitive function and promotes neurogenesis (the production of new neurons) through the suppression of chronic stress. If you need another reason to have more sex, you’re welcome. RELATED: THE HABITS OF THE WORLD'S SMARTEST PEOPLE (INFOGRAPHIC) Wikimedia Commons/Ushuaia.pl 2. SURROUND YOURSELF WITH 24-KARAT GOLD. Every night, Dr. Yoshiro Nakamatsu, who patented more than 3,300 inventions including the floppy disk, would retire to his “Calm Room” — a bathroom tiled in 24-karat gold.He explained “The gold blocks out radio waves and television signals that are harmful to the imagination.” He’s onto something. While the link between radio waves and cancer is still debated, the cognitive effects of overexposure are undeniable. You probably can’t surround yourself with 24-karat gold, but you can step away from the “smog" of radio waves we live in — computers, Wi-Fi, cell phones, Bluetooth headsets. To boost your mental performance, give your mind a reprieve from the technological buzz by taking a walk in nature or meditating. Schedule daily time to mentally disconnect and recharge. Wikimedia Commons 3. THE CHILL FACTOR. Benjamin Franklin went for daily swims in London’s chilly river Thames; Theodore Roosevelt went skinny-dipping in the cold waters of the Potomac River in Washington, D.C., every winter. Being submerged in water of various temperatures for physical and mental benefits is an ancient practice. The Greek sage Hippocrates said that water therapy "allays lassitude" (physical or mental weakness). When you take a cold shower or swim, the shock causes your blood to move to the core of your body, and bathes your brain and vital organs in fresh blood. Finish your showers with turning the temperature as cold as possible to give your brain an invigorating boost. If you’re brave, you can try an ice bath.
