Did you know that scents have powerful effects on our emotions - even to the point of helping to manage our minds and moods? According to research done by Alan Hirsch, MD, author of Life's a Smelling Success, eating garlic bread at dinnertime helps to promote positive family interactions. He found that by eating or just smelling garlic bread, negative dinnertime remarks were reduced by 22% and pleasant remarks increased by over 7%. I find that to be amazing!
Are you someone who needs to focus? Then smell fresh flowers! By smelling fresh flowers, your mental sharpness will increase along with the ability to focus. This works for adults as well as for kids - especially when doing homework, when studying for a test or when practicing to give a speech. For alertness and focus, place a vase of fresh flowers on your desk or table and stop often to "smell the roses".
