Did the holidays drain your energy a bit? While lots of fun, all the celebrating, shopping, traveling and more, you may be slow to start new projects or create plans for the year ahead.
Saw this article on how to boost your brain power with Nootropics which, according to an article in Daily Motivation*, are "smart drugs" that promote cognitive function and even relaxation. The author said, "you don’t need supplementation to obtain nootropics. These substances are actually quite abundant in the food we eat!" So, that gave me an idea for this week to help you jumpstart your mental energy.
Try This: Feed Your Brain for a Power Boost
If you're feeling sluggish or stressed, consider focusing on eating or drinking foods that have an abundance of nootropics. From the article, here is a short list for a spark:
- Red wine
- Dark chocolate
- Coconut oil
- Eggs
- Green tea
- Turmeric
- Coffee
When I saw the list, it was no surprise how much I love my morning coffee! Yet, there are more foods and drinks than listed here, but these are easy to try for your power boost. The key is to be more aware of any impact these have because it might take trial and error to see what works for you.
