Boosting your Brain
Power: Mind & Body
It is a well researched fact that mind and body are intrinsicly linked.
So while you are excercising your brain, don't forget to look after your
body as well. The following are some places to find information and resources
on Mind, Body & Spirit.
The Food and Mood Project

Based in East Sussex, the Mood & Food Project aims to empower individuals
to explore the relationship between diet, nutrition and emotional and
mental health and to share this information with others. Their Food
and Mood Handbook is an invaluable guide for all those who wish to
explore the relationship between diet, nutrition and emotional and mental
health. Go to www.foodandmood.org/handbook.html
to purchase a signed copy of the handbook with free delivery in the UK
(a percentage of sales goes to the mental health charity, Mind).
