A Tip Worth a Mint

Researchers at Wheeling Jesuit University found that study subjects who inhaled peppermint essential oil every two hours consumed 23% fewer calories than those who did not.  Peppermint is also reported to enhance mental focus and energy, another characteristic that can help you stay alert and attuned to opportunities to achieve your ideal weight.  The sense of smell is the only sense that follows a direct path to the brain, which is why it can be such a powerful tool.  Why not pick up a bottle of essential oil of peppermint today (available at natural food stores, as well as through online retailers) and enjoy a whiff or two every few hours?  With benefits for both brain and body, this one seems like it's a tip that's worth a mint!
