To recharge the brain, one can:

1. Take a nap
2. Go for a brisk walk
3. Lie in a nearby park or on a bench and watch the clouds go by
4. Listen to music or even podcast novels
5. Browse a local bookstore
6. Stroll through a nearby art gallery
7. Get a coffee in a cafe and read the paper or, even better, a gossip magazine
8. Hit the gym
9. Meditate or do yoga
10. Hang out at the local dog run and get in touch with your animal nature
11. Memorize poetry
12. Sit on the corner and sketch buildings
13. Window shop
14. Get a massage
15. Do math problems or crosswords

The main thing is to get away from the current situation or place, to do something that uses a completely different part of the brain than the creative work does, and get ones mind off of what one was doing and stimulated with fresh ideas, images and inspirations. One will come back recharged, refreshed, and ready to plunge full speed ahead.

Lemon juice is used as a flavoring ingredient in a large number of dishes, belonging to various cuisines. Apart from that, it is the primary ingredient in lemonade, an extremely refreshing as well as beneficial drink. Most of the people stop after mentioning these two basic uses of lemon juice. However, lemon juice is credited with having a large number of uses and benefits. It is good for the skin, has deodorizing properties, acts as a disinfectant, helps clean stains, and so on. To get an exhaustive list of the everyday uses of lemon juice, read on…

Uses of Lemon Juice

• Lemon juice can help you whiten as well as strengthen your nails. Half-fill a small bowl with lemon juice and soak your nails in it, for around 10 minutes. Now, add equal parts white vinegar and warm water. Dip a brush in it and clean your nails with it. Rinse with water.

• The best way to clean a microwave is with the help of lemon juice. Dilute 4 tbsp lemon juice in one cup water and put the solution in a microwave-safe bowl. Keep it in the microwave and let it boil for five minutes. The steam from the water will condense the inside walls. Use a cloth to wipe your microwave clean.
• You can use lemon juice to get rid of dandruff. Apply lemon juice on your scalp around ½ hour before washing your hair. Mix 2-3 tbsp lemon juice in a mug of water and use it to give the last rinse to your hair, after washing them with shampoo.

What do you think, which is healthier – a peanut butter sandwich or a glass of whole milk? In terms of fat, the sandwich is actually better, according to an article published by American Heart Association. They recommend a daily fat intake limited to 30 percent of the day’s total calories, but the type of fat we eat may be just as important as the amount. People who eat a diet high in monounsaturated fat were found to have a lower risk of heart disease than those who eat more saturated fats.
Monounsaturated fats may help reduce harmful triglycerides in blood and increase good HDL cholesterol. So, how can someone change ones diet accordingly? Try to incorporate more foods that have more good (mono or polyunsaturated) fat and less bad (saturated) fat. Here are a few examples:

THE GOOD GUYS
* Peanut butter
* Olive oil
* Avocados
* Soybeans
* Nuts
* Canola oil
* Corn oil
* Sesame, sunflower and pumpkin seeds

THE BAD GUYS
* Marbled meats
* Organ meats (including sausage)
* Butter
* Ice cream
* Mayonnaise
* Milk
* Cream
* Cheese
* Palm oil

IN THE MIDDLE
* Lean red meat
* Chicken
* Fish

But remember hidden saturated fats also lurk in lots of snack foods such as cookies, chips, and candy. For example, anything with coconut or coconut oil even if it’s a vegan snack will be high in saturated fat.

And note that this isn’t, of course, an open invitation to start gorging on peanut butter. It’s still wise to keep your total fat intake to around 30 percent a day – just make them “better” fats.
