 Remember To Boost Your Memory - the skill of remembering things is connected with the activating brain cells to build new pathways. The more excited they are, the more likely you are to remember things. Acetylcholine is the key ingredient for making this happen. Made from choline, it is found in eggs, liver and soybeans. Veggies also help the brain to remember. Researchers found people who eat more vegetables to be better in memory tests than their peers. So, a good helping of cabbage, broccoli and caulifl ower will also help you remember.


 Lift Moods and Lose Weight - stress is one of those emotions people often take the shortcut to relieving. Whilst it's true that eating sugary food and fats can relieve stress in the short term - in the long term the health problems they cause end up causing more stress. That leads to a vicious donut of eating fat


foods that will take you nowhere. Research also shows that sugar changes


the brain's responses so you need more sugar to feel the same level of relief and pleasure. So watch out for sugar. Try exercising instead, and if you want a steady release of sugars, eat fruit, pasta or wholegrain bread.


These will do your brain and body some good.  Smooth Running - you can't omit Omega 3 fats when talking brains. As a super powerful processing unit in your skull, your brain sends messages along neural pathways continually. Those pathways have a fatty insulating sheath made of myelin, for which Omega 3 fats are a vital ingredient. Make sure you get your Omega 3 fatty acids from salmon, tuna,


fl axseed oil, canola oil, walnuts, wheat germ and eggs.


 Concentrated Foodstuff - Being able to concentrate properly relies on having good neurotransmitters in your brain - these are the chemicals that carry all those messages along your neurones. One neurotransmitter that can't be made directly by the body is tryptophan.


You can get it straight from foods such as: egg white, spirilina, cod, soybeans and cheese.


 Water on the Brain - Mild levels of dehydration can impair mental capacity, It is vital that you hydrate - not just for your brain - but your whole body, too! Get water into the system, regularly!

technology has been developed by a small


British company that for the first


time enables petrol to be produced from water vapour and air. Since their small test refinery was switched on in August, Air Fuel Synthesis has produced five litres of petrol. The importance of this technology in potentially reducing global warming by extracting carbon from the air may have massive ramifications for the world. At the moment, the carbon capture aspect of the process is highly inefficient and uses power from the National Grid to make it work, but the company believes that one day it will be able to be powered by renewable


resources. As petrol prices continue to rise and


as the technology matures it is hoped there will come a point when the cost of production falls below conventional fuel production. Meanwhile, the advantage of being able to use the existing fuel infrastructure to distribute this fuel is obvious. At the same time, the opportunity it


gives countries to produce their own fuel, especially in remote underdeveloped regions is very exciting!
