精句：

长而不难，语言平实有力量，推荐熟读：

With the internet overflowing with quotes from wise, philosophical types, a generous abundance of pre-8AM life-hacks to choose from each morning, and a self-help industry worth more than $11 billion, the idea of "feeding our minds" has taken on a certain color.

We’re advised to immerse ourselves in the writing of great minds, to broaden our spiritual horizons, to create and follow personal maxims.

One in five of us in the UK are affected by anxiety or depression, and nearly half by chronic stress; there’s a fairly terrifying increase in rates of dementia; plus growing awareness of a ‘modern epidemic’ called brain fog.

They contain anti-inflammatory polyphenols which soothe upset, tired cells; magnesium, which aids ‘synaptic plasticity’, making it easier for the brain to rewire itself — a helping hand if you’re stuck in anxious repeated thoughts; melatonin, which supports natural deep sleep so that brain cells can chill out and get all the rest they need each night; and finally, vitamin E, which protects and maintains brain cell membranes.
