Well, most of the responses so far are about supplements and exercise, which are very important for overall mental health. But a great help to me at times for concentration and creativity are the following CD's, which use binaural beat technology to enhance both concentration and creativity: http://www.immrama.org/focus/focus.html http://www.amazon.com/Music-Brainwave-Massage-Sound-Medicine/dp/1559617799/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1260888894&sr=8-2
For my money, Jeffrey Thompson is far and away the best creator of healing soundtracks (the Brainwave Massage disk). If you are interested a a soundtrack that helps you sleep, I love the following: http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Nap-Dr-Jeffrey-Thompson/dp/B000FFJ7ZO/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1260888514&sr=8-12 These are all CD's but if you have an Ipod you can usually purchase an MP3 download for half the cd price. These must be listened to on headphones because they feed different beats into each ear to achieve the desired brainwave effect.

I'm starting to go through it now. More information: What I mean is ability to focus. Usually I'll have trouble concentrating on something I'm reading, like my screen at work while programming. Other times it might be a book or long email. I'm 48. Stopped smoking 5 years ago and gained weight. I've told the doctor maybe it's the crestor and he says its not enough blood to the brain cause I'm fat. (Yeah he tells it like it is so I stay with him.) I've been taking Ginko (~120 mg/day) and Omega 3 along with some other supplements. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: "Norton, Steve" <stephen.nor...@ngc.com> To: silver-list@eskimo.com Sent: Mon, December 14, 2009 5:50:32 PM Subject: RE: CS>OT Mental Clarity It depends on what you mean by helping mental clarity. Is it mental tiredness or something more like memory loss?
