this could be considered a sub-thread of that other one, also opened by myself,

on the logistical and mental management to avoid succumbing to the final exam of the composition course.

i don't know, but perhaps this new topic could reveal a hidden world of which many

ignore the existence! ;-P

all jokes aside....just today, in class, while talking with the maestro, we spoke about the necessity

of not collapsing physically and mentally (in essence, the attempt to survive! ;-P)

and so I was advised to resort to some "energy little help"!

naturally I am not talking about illicit substances but about herbal products that some

consume habitually.

- GINSENG (or ginger, if you will): it seems to provide a significant boost.

i have tried it, indeed the boost is felt, but having taken it via an infusion

(ginseng tea) I noticed that on me it also has a powerful anti-soporific effect.

- good old COFFEE, whose pros and cons are known to everyone

- my maestro spoke to me about FERMENTED PAPAYA: it seems like a powerful remedy; it fights

free radicals, it is a natural product; it seems to have no side effects....actually maybe one: the cost

50 precious euros for a pack of 20 sachets....at least that's how I understood it.

does anyone know anything else?

and above all, have any of you ever taken fermented papaya? if so, what is it like? is it worth it?

Jokes aside, you can also help yourself with pharmaceutical products. Like supplements or similar, see sargenor...

I (ab)use it in spring and autumn to deal with physiological drops due to the change of season

after ginseng, a small sip of grappa releases your inhibitions and gives you that pinch of recklessness you need to avoid getting paranoid.

Method used by me on the occasion of my first conducting of a choir and orchestra (Mozartian) ... it works.

I see we have moved on to doping

Alright, okay for Sargenor and ginseng

As for fermented papaya, which I don't know, interesting to read

Alternative to fermented papaya, the "good" Nattō

It seems that this smelly Japanese find (referred to me by locals) is an energy bomb

Like all "drugs" one becomes addicted ... I am already a slave to it, so for me there might not be major repercussions except on my figure

But it is an energetic and antidepressant ... it actually helps... dark chocolate is better

Aside from ginseng, I am just now discovering all these findings... even "exotic" ones...

Have a good breakfast and, during meals, eat light: fruit first (for vitamins and sugars), then vegetables and proteins. No bread, no pasta, no sauces, especially in the evening. For proteins, fish, legumes or white meats (chicken and rabbit). No fats, especially from red meats, because they weigh down digestion and cause drowsiness. Avoid hard liquors (grappa, digestifs, bitters...) and, if necessary, drink a good glass of red wine with your meal. Then drink plenty of water and try to go for walks (fifteen minutes a day is enough). Give up nerve-stimulating substances (coffee, chocolate, tea). And you will see that, within a week, you will be a lion.
