Hydrate as our brains are almost 75% water, it is very important to make sure we have enough fluids.
Dehydration causes your brain to shut down and not function at full capacity. As well as enjoying water and herbal teas, fruits and vegetables can fulfill your fluid requirements.
They also provide healthful nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, fiber and
protein. This often makes vegetables and fruits more effective in rehydrating the system than water alone.
High water content fruits and vegetables include cucumbers, celery, broccoli, radishes,
lettuce, spinach, cauliflower,watermelon, melon and strawberries.

Spend time outdoors provides great nourishment to the brain. Our brains
need sunshine, exercise,fresh air and natural light. Vitamin D contributes to our good mood and low levels can create cloudy
thinking and a lack of motivation.
Sun exposure is an easy way to overcome feelings of sadness and regain
mental clarity. It is very important to unplug and get away from the office,
computers, and mobiles. Even stepping outside the office for a few minutes and exposing your eyes and skin to the natural light, even if it is winter and overcast, can give your brain a boost. This is a very easy solution if you feel sleepy, but cannot
take a nap.
Letting your eyes and face soak up the natural light for a few minutes sends a message to the brain that it needs to wake up and that foggy sensation quickly disappears.
