Improving nutrition for mental sharpness

Our mental sharpness each day is impacted by many things. Our mood, the way we sleep, and the nutrition in what we eat, are the top three things that can make us mentally sharp, or sluggish and dull. Nutrition is something we have more control over than sleep or mood, however, improving our nutrition is not that easy when we are busy. This is especially true in the morning when we are often in a rush to get to work. Making sure we start with all the nutrients we need provided in our breakfast may seem like it would be too hard to do. Luckily, with a few changes we can make our first meal packed with vitamins and minerals.

One of the fastest morning meals we can make is a smoothie. The ingredients are very simple. Frozen fruit makes an excellent base since it will make the drink cold and provide sweet flavor. We can also use fresh fruit as well. The liquid base can be water or milk. For nutrition, the following supplements make a great addition.

Getting this nutritional boost first thing in our morning will start us with mental sharpness for the rest of our day. The speed of putting together a fresh smoothie each morning will not slow us down for our commute. With just simple changes to the fruit we use we can make each of these drinks pleasantly different so we don’t have to worry about becoming bored with our breakfast. Of course we don’t have to restrict this to our first meal. Any time of day is a great time for this nutritional smoothie.

Fuzzy, bright, leopard print…the list goes on. We’re talking about nipple covers. Those teeny tiny decals can transform an outfit (or be worn while nude). If you’re a model, you probably understand how useful these covers can be. They provide coverage when worn underneath sheer or form-fitting material. They’re also great for adding a burst of color or stylish flair to an outfit. Finding the right pair of covers can be as difficult as finding the right pair of jeans. To help, we’ve come up with a list of some great finds on Amazon that could make your shopping experience easier and more convenient.

When shopping for nipple covers, it’s important to know what purpose they will serve. For example, if you’re modeling lingerie, you might wear colorful or flashy pasties to help draw attention to the pieces you’re wearing. If you’re modeling for the runway, it might be best to purchase nipple covers that are meant to be hidden underneath various types of clothing. Some even include travel cases so that you can conveniently transport them to any runway or photo shoot. Whether you’re new to the world of nipple covers or a seasoned buyer, our list of some of the top ones is great to try out for yourself.
