Antioxidant vitamins like A, C & E do not prolong life. They may even lead to premature death according to a study!

Perceptual or concrete:

It is the simplest form of thinking. The basis of this type of thinking is perception that is interpretation of sensation according to one’s experience. It is also named as concrete thinking as it is carried over the perception of actual or concrete objects and events.

Conceptual or Abstract Thinking:

Like perceptual thinking it does not require the perception of actual objects or events. It is an abstract thinking where one makes use of concepts; the generalized ideas and language. It is regarded as a superior type of thinking to perceptual thinking as it economizes efforts in understanding and problem-solving.

Reflective thinking:

It is somewhat of a higher form of thinking.
It can be distinguished from simple thinking in the following ways:

• It aims at solving complex problems rather than simple problems.

• It requires reorganization of all the relevant experiences and finding new ways of reaction to a situation or of removing an obstacle instead of simple association of experiences or ideas.

• Mental activity in reflective thinking does not undergo any mechanical trial and error type of effort. There is an insightful cognitive approach in reflective thinking.

• It takes logic into account in which all the relevant facts are arranged in a logical order, in order to get too the solution of the problem in hand.

Brain functions: Whatever may be the role of muscles, thinking is primarily a function of our brain. Our mind or brain is said to be the chief instrument or reservoir for carrying out the process of thinking. Whatever is experienced through our sense organs carries no meaning and thus cannot serve a stimulating agent, an instrument or object for our thinking unless the same is received by our brain cells and properly interpreted for driving some meaning. The mental pictures or images can be stored, formed, reconstructed or put to some use only through the functioning of the brain. Therefore, what happens in our thought process can simply be called a game, function or product of the activities of our brain.
