Performance

Which direction does your desk face? Do you think your work performance is affected by whether you are facing North, South, East or West? It does.

Fascinating cutting-edge research in the field of neuroscience, shows how facing a certain direction is critical for integrated brain functioning and maximum mental performance.

According to the time-tested principles of Ayurvedic medicine eating heavy, hard to digest foods at night is the seed for all disorders – from fatigue, excess weight through to serious disease.

These problems are magnified if also eating late. Eating a ‘light’ dinner (according to appetite) reasonably early (digested by the time you go to bed) is one of the single most important things you can do for your lifelong health, happiness and personal performance.

Despite being one of the simplest & cheapest ways of improving our health & work performance, I’m amazed at how few people actually get around to doing it. Here are some tips for a healthier, happier workplace.

Does your energy regularly sag? Do you find yourself reaching for a cup of coffee or sugary soft drink each afternoon, instead try some peppermint. The distinct smell and taste of peppermint has been known throughout many traditions including Ayurveda, to stimulate the brain, helping it to ‘spark up and focus’. Peppermint stimulates alertness and performance, particularly with respect to jobs that involve more details tasks.
