Running Scents
In the latest issue of Women’s Health there is an article on the power of scents. Apparently you can boost your energy with an invigorating scent.
In a study, basketball players smelled scents of mint, menthol and eucalyptus before the game. The outcome - they were quicker on the court.
Of course the magazine recommends designer perfumes like Banana Republic Classic! (It is unisex, crisp, clean, timeless.)
So now I know why I like getting whiffs of Tiger balm, Ben-Gay, Icy Hot, and Badger Balm at the starting line!
I remember the race I did this summer. We ran by a most wonderful field of mint. Everyone, including me, commented on how great we felt after the race.
