After doing some research (not extensive one), I come out with an abbreviated list of ways to elevate brainpower, not necessarily promote higher intelligence, that I think is useful, practical and perhaps easy to execute in daily life.
I try to keep it simple, so if you need more information about a particular bit just talk to me.

1. held-breath underwater swimming – increase blood flow in the brain
2. meditation-develops - mindfulness
3. mindfulness - helps build good thinking habits
4. good thinking habits - eliminate bad thinking and develop positive thinking
5. Mozart
   music - Mozart effect is somehow controversial but nothing to lose to give it a shot
6. write and talk-take note of the ideas that we come out with, organize and
        analyze our thinking by writing or talking to someone
7. sit up straight – good posture for uninterrupted blood circulation
8. critical thinking - consider the opposite, question everything!
9. fill up all seemingly dead time-eg eating, sleeping, walking by doing something else useful in the meantime
10. self-hypnosis - the power of suggestion! (memory morphing)
11. speed reading
12. learn new language – stimulate the brain different ways to think
13. learn new skills/things- function determines structure!
14. deliberate practice - always review, analyze how to improve and accelerating learning rate!
15. focus on developing your strengths! – instead of trying to eliminate weaknesses
16. good diet – tones of information about foods that increase intelligence
17. make increasing brainpowera habit- you get more of what you reinforce! Persistency!

Hope it does help
