This is good news for so many that search around the web- hopefully with their mental gears turning.
Speaking of keeping one mentally alert, readers may also want to know that recently (Sept 1st 2009) a beverage was released that is both natural and has many years of research behind it. Dr. Kyl Smith, the author of Brighter Mind, was the former inventor of Focus Factor or years past, and more research and beneficial changes have been made to this product, which is a think-drink and also improves mood, energy, and concentration.
While those are big statements, they backed up with over 1,400 scientific peer reviews in his book. There is NO sugar or artificial sweeteners in this drink- though it is sweet. (using Stevia, a natural herb)
Dr. Kyle has a passion around naturally treating disorders, and generally optimizing the brain. The interesting thing is that he says the average American is under-consuming specific nutrients that would optimize the brain. So, many with no specific difficulty are taking this just to feel on top of their game.
Brain teasers and puzzles are recognized as best methods in boosting memory power and refreshing the mind. Using the brain with positive activities can have great influence on the memory.
