Taking exercise daily.

For all writers who write a large amount daily I believe that exercise is imperative for all who have to sit for ours every day at the keyboard. The brain needs oxygen and getting it to the brain fast is through drinking plenty of fresh water and getting up and about every day to do some form of exercise. I recommend highly two types of exercise.
One is Qi Gong/Tai Ji practice shich helps to slow down the heart rate and also brings loads of oxygen to the brain and my other favourite is brisk power walking which helps also to strengthen the old ticker.
We will go into the virtues of these two great forms of exercise as we go along and when I am in the mood lol. If I have to write any more online casino reviews today my head is going to explode like a watermelon on a hot midsummer's afternoon!

Brain food.


Good brain food to help with the flow of those writing juices is a well known herb called Ginkgo Biloba.
Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba; '銀杏' in Chinese) is a tree native to Asian countries and in Chinese Medicine has been used for thousands of years to sharpen the brain and now they are even using it to help cure patients with neurological and memory loss deseases. It is a great help to the Nervous System and is now widely available in both Eastern Medicine and Health food stores.
It was thought for a long time that Ginkgo was extinct in the wild but they have now found it growing in the Zheijiang province in Eastern China.
There are many culinary functions to the Ginkgo, from the seeds and nuts used in Chinese food to the powders produced to put into energy drinks. It is great against free radicals and so is also used as an anti oxidant to help prevent other deseases.
