Did You Know?

A whiff of PEPPERMINT acts like an alarm clock for your body? This is according to Dr Alan Hirsch of the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation.  That’s not all… according to recent research the aroma of peppermint may be invigorating enough to boost workout efforts and increase calorie burning.

Researchers recommend that you surround yourself with the aroma of peppermint by lighting a candle or carrying a bottle of oil with you to inhale during your workout!
