I love different and exotic teas (herbal, green, detox, flavoured) – what are the best ingredients / types of tea to improve or aid concentration while studying?
Tea alone isn’t going to improve your concentration levels, but it can help. Green and white teas are your best options, so opt for those. If you’re making your own blends, keep a look out for ingredients like gotu kola, gingko biloba, ginseng, periwinkle, ginger, holy thistle and cinnamon. Rosemary has been recommended for mental alertness, so add a few drop of rosemary oil to your bath.
Hi Lisa. Sometimes when I exercise, my muscles are sore the next day. Other times, they feel 100% the next day, but after two days they are sore. What is the reason for this?
View the answerGood morning Lisa, I just kicked into the habit of exercising (it’s my second consecutive week at the gym) all is going well my fitness is building up gradually but sometimes if I go in real hard I feel nauseous. What is the cause? Could it be my diet? Yesterday the last meal I had was a piece of steak, green salad and sweet potato ( also had a packet of popcorn later) but I had to throw up, also it was not lactic acid.

I also have the ugliest stomach which is just hanging and making me depressed. Third baby and 1st C-section. Please help.
View the answerHI Lisa,
I have recently come across some articles that say body weight exercises/training yield better fitness results than when using equipment such as dumbbells, kettle bells and the like. With all this information bombarding us in regards to what yields better results, what the latest craze/trend in fitness is and the like, would you recommend that incorporating aspects of these different trends into your exercise routine would probably be the best option?
