Can Certain Scents Boost Your Energy?

November 23rd, 2008

Check out this post on the Between the Miles blog that I came across today. According to an article in Women’s Health, certain scents can actually boost your energy when you smell them.

The scents in the study referenced included mint, menthol and eucalyptus.

I have to admit, this is one idea I never considered. But I can see how it would work well.

One benefit of running in the morning is smelling the variety of breakfast scents that seep out of people’s houses – especially during weekends.

On Saturday mornings, my running partner and I often pass a grocery store that always saturates the air with the aroma of donuts. No matter how many times we pass, we can’t help but mention how much we would love to stop in for a taste.

Without a doubt, the smell of donuts is a proven energy-booster for me.
