My work requires me to be mentally sharp, to multi-task and to re-prioritize constantly. What can I do to improve my mental alertness and mental capacities so that I can improve my work performance and function at my very best mentally? Thanks!

Fish oil - especially one called Eye-Q. My friend's son has dyslexia and slight ADH and she really notices a massive improvement in him when he's taking Eye-Q. Also 'brain-training' exercises - there are loads of websites and books for this sort of thing to help improve concentration and memory. Even doing a crossword every day will keep your brain active. Good luck!

Basil essential oil is very good for focusing the mind and clarity. And it also works you up. Keep a little bottle into work with you and sniff it when you feel the need. Or alternatively put a few drops on a hankie... if you want to be more subtle!

Best thing to take to increase mental activity is Gingko Biloba. It is a herbal remedy made from the maidenhair tree. It increases blood flow to the brain. Especially good to take from the age of 45 onwards. You can buy it at Holland & Barret and most places that stock herbal remedies. It is very good.

Water - the cheapest health regime there is. Drinking about 8 glasses a day has been known to stimulate the brain, and help you think much more clearly. It also rehydrates you, avoiding tiredness caused by dehydration.

Try Yoga and that includes a lot of meditation. It's guaranteed to improve your mental abilities if you perform it properly.
