Stimulate your senses

For an instant energiser, try inhaling the aroma of lemons, jasmine or peppermint, suggests Dr Alan Hirsch, director of The Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago. And if you love the buzz you get from coffee but you want to cut down on your caffeine intake, why not try inhaling the aroma instead? 'Your brain will remember the stimulation coffee gave you' says Dr Hirsch, 'so the smell alone will be enough to perk you up.'
