I've been hammering it a little in the gym lately (no, not because of Christmas excess, because I don't do excess) and I felt like I had superhuman powers today . Or it may have been I was on the treadmill right under the air con and I could breathe. That's the best I've run for a long time. My best is 11:47 for 2 miles (road) and 42:30 for 10k (road). I'm a bit off that form, but hey I still have it! I tried Cordyceps. It's a fungus and Chinese athletes take it to improve stamina. Totally legal obviously . A tip: try Korean ginseng...

{quote} Sorry not familiar with European Federation. Can you elaborate?

JakubSzalaFX would like to see a European Federation instead of a European union

federation definition (a group of states with a central government but independence in internal affairs) (the action of forming states or organizations into a single group with centralized control)

union definition (the action of joining together or the fact of being joined together, especially in a political context.) (a society or association formed by people with a common interest or purpose.)

I do not like the EU so you can imagine how I feel about the idea of a European Federation

1. Oily fish for high omega 3 content. Good for your skin too. I don't think omega 3 supplements work though. Your body can't absorb them.

2. Sport /exercise. Healthy body, healthy mind. Go for the burn, get your HR up. When I used to run with a running club I wore an HR monitor a few times and found out on a (hilly) 7 mile run, in 48 minutes, my average HR was 183! Running is the opposite of drinking. You feel shit during but great after.

Thanks for the explanation.

Hitting on the key phrase "common interest" is both revealing in it's weakness to take advantage of in the rhetoric presented in advancing such causes and and defining what those interests are in blatant terms is the crux of the conflict in of itself.

I have heard of Ginko Bilbo as another source but never tried it.

Yes, I know of Ginkgo Biloba but I don't of its efficacy. It improves circulation, including to the brain, but to be honest, a healthy lifestyle would achieve that anyway. Garlic thins the blood and improves circulation!

When you mentioned brain function, I took that to mean brain health rather than cognitive function. If you cannot string a sentence together and get called stupid, then I am not sure much can be done if you are already in good health and lead a healthy lifestyle, but if you are a physical mess, then there probably is room for improvement.

Mental and physical health is one of the same thing. Unbalanced hormones wreck havoc. For example, overweight people will have much higher levels of oestrogen (fat carries oestrogen) and mentally that means they will be of a far more emotional disposition like being more prone to comfort eating and getting stuck into a downward spiral.

I have started feeding this to my SO. She is definitely in need of assistance with short-term memory.

It has had an unexpected side-effect, her suffering with leg cramps has gone, which is apparently down to the Biloba part.

Thanks, but sounds to me that there has to be something more.
My challenge is raising two girls and satisfying a demanding wife, so I work more. Balancing everything out to fit things like exercise and thinking straight for work is aging me more than I want to. Improved cognitive function is what I need the most. I swim almost every morning, but it has to be done extremely early before the kids wake, but by the afternoon I am dozing off. By the end of the week I look forward to because by Friday I am exhausted and Saturdays I get to sleep in. {the only day I get to} The kids go to Karate lessons then they spend the rest of the day with their cousins, so it is just me and Rufus. (my Dog) I want to change things up but I am not sure what or how to do it. I have my tool shed to escape to though! Do you have suggested reading or sites I can check out to further my reading?

How is your weight? Are you as lean as you can be? By lean I don't mean thin; I mean low body fat, good muscle tone. How is your cardio fitness? What is your RHR? How is your diet? Do you eat junk?

There is a lot you can do to optimize how your body performs. By being in top shape physically is a good start. The majority of what you eat (>80%) should be rich in micro nutrients - fruit, veg (lightly steamed or stir fried, never boiled!), nuts, seeds, whole grains, fish and other good quality proteins. Go easy on bread, potatoes, red meat and dairy. Don't touch processed foods, especially if they contain lots of sugar, salt and trans fats. Palm oil is highly dangerous. They are just empty calories, anyway and will make you feel lethargic. Coffee gives you a caffeine kick, but it will sap your energy, so that's a no. Worse still are energy drinks like Red Bull. That will do a lot worse like give you heart palpitations.

When I have to do a lot of driving I never drink coffee or tea. I always have smoothies. I find berry ones are particularly good in helping you stay awake. And never eat junk or anything heavy. I guess that is the only time I need improved cognitive function; just to keep going when I would rather sleep!

RIP Peter Sarstedt. He was a personal friend many years ago, though at the time I didn't know he was famous. One of the nicest people I've ever known. He used to play his guitar and sing this to me. Feeling very sad today.

Thanks Jen. You have given me a lot to think about, a lot of useful information that I will need to digest for a bit before I can elaborate further or respond with more detail.

It's ok, they're personal questions, you don't have to respond, maybe just to yourself.

Top comment on BBC re Corbyn on the maximum wage:

"Well it would 'work' in that everybody with a massive salary would leave the UK and claim domicile elsewhere.

It would also lumber the middle class with a load more tax to pay (which would please Corbyn) as the top earners currently pay 10% of all tax!

The man's a clown."


Yes he is lol.

The people in the top 1% of earners contribute 10% of all tax but more than 25% of all income tax and they consume less government than any other group.

He seems to forget that these people don't need to reside in the UK, they can afford to live elsewhere in the world. The man is a blithering idiot, economically illiterate and an embarrassment to the whole of the country

A dam cracker on the sauce!

Einstein claimed that if one were to strip naked and run around a tree at the speed of 298 KM/sec (speed of light) they would probably be able to sodomize themselves!

In an effor6t to conserve your energy, you can easily achieve the same result by supporting liberals and democrats in anything they do!
