Colour me red
In the world of tea, red is the new black. Naturally caffeine-free, South African rooibos is a beautiful red-brown colour and has a fruity, slightly nutty taste; its leaves and stems are harvested between January and March. This low-tannin beverage contains aspalathin, which, like all antioxidants, fights free radicals. South African women use it to soothe colicky babies and digestive upsets. Anyone for tea?
Try: Jones Organic Rooibos teas ($1.99 each).
On the ball
Does your mind wander mid-meeting? If so, it's time to take up meditation. Using MRI technology, researchers in Massachusetts discovered that meditating for at least 40 minutes a day slows down age-related deterioriation in the part of the brain that deals with perception and attentiveness. Not only are mediators more alert but they suffer less from stress. And there's good news for wannabe circus clowns -- jugglers experience the same benefits!
Try: Juggling balls ($8 for a set of 3) from Morrissey Magic (www.morrisseymagic.com).
