NEW TODAY
Remember, May is Mental Health Awareness Month and here is your Mental Health Tip of The Day: Breakfast boosts brainpower. This is because your brain hasn’t received the energy it needs to get going. Studies suggest that not having breakfast affects your mental performance, including your attention, ability to concentrate and memory. This can make some tasks feel harder than they normally would. So grab a piece of fruit or a granola bar and get your brain going! And remember, you are not alone.
