For Clarity Of Mind

The key to this is to do everything in moderation.

1) Have a balanced diet e.g. sufficient carbohydrate, protein, fats, fruit and vegetables and fluids.

On top of this take supplements such as omega-3/cod liver oil, other omega oils and ginkgo biloba.

IF you drink alcohol regularly then reduce your consumption, but a little everyday helps your mind to relax. Nicotine is good for you in small quantities but the other things in cigarettes are harmful. Infrequently chewing nicotine gum gets past this problem and can help to think more clearly and positively.

2) Get enough sleep; too much will make you drowsy and too little will affect concentration

3) If you spend too much time looking at a computer screen this can effect your vision so limit the amount of time you spend on a computer, playing computer games or watching TV.

4) Take 20 minutes during the day to relax, with ear plugs and a blindfold. This will allow you to concentrate on your thoughts and when the ear plugs and blindfold are removed your vision and hearing will be sharper and more sensitive.

Good tips, Benson. As for the diet part, my wife and I have been trying the cheese and walnuts idea that Vahid suggested (winner #3). It seems to work. At the very least, it is helpful for those of us that get a bit of brain fog with too many carbohydrates.

I may try ear plugs and a blindfold as you suggest. I do know that laying back in a dark room and listening to a brainwave entrainment CD sure clears my mind. Thank you, and I hope that you like the prize.

Note: In order to get the newsletter put together and have this page up before that, I have to pick a winner just two or three days after each newsletter. However, if you sent any ideas in later, I may use them for the following weeks.
