Outside help: getting in touch with nature is good for body, mind and soul

Article Abstract:

A writer discovers that getting in touch with nature, sometimes even just by walking, is emotionally and physically therapeutic. Such recognition of the planet's therapeutic effects has given rise to ecopsychology, a practice that combines outdoor experiences with spiritual and meditation practices, as well as environmental responsibility.

Brain training: smart drugs, mental cocktails, logic games - can you build mind muscle?

Article Abstract:

'Smart drugs' are suddenly the rage of the 1990s, but there is no scientific evidence that they work. In fact, physical activity, education and thinking are apparently the best brain stimulants. Using the brain to learn something will help keep the mind active.
