7 Day Brain Fitness Challenge
Everyone knows about the benefits of working your muscles for health and strength, but the trend to flex your mental muscle is on 
the rise, with trend spotters predicting a ‘global brain health movement’ this decade, as people become more aware of the importance of taking care of their grey matter. Good health isn’t just about taking care of our bodies, it’s also about taking care of our minds.
Sunraysia has developed a 7-Day Brain Fitness Challenge to encourage Aussies to take seven days to stretching and strengthening our grey matter. Or 7-Day Brain Fitness Challenge comprises seven quick activities – such as doing a crossword puzzle or learning a phrase in a different language – designed to be easily incorporated into your busy day along with drinking Sunraysia Blueberry Juice.
Why Blueberries? Widely referred to as “brain berries”, this super fruit has been dubbed by nutritionists as an antioxidant powerhouse with studies showing blueberries can boost your memory, improve your eyesight, look after your heart, and protect your brain. Recent emerging research has even revealed that drinking blueberry juice every day can help improve memory function by 40 per cent in adults!
If you jump on over to the Sunraysia site and are one of the first 300 to sign up for the challenge, you will receive cash back on two 750mL bottles of Sunraysia Blueberry Juice.
We also have a copy of Dr Kawashima Train Your Brain book to give away to one lucky reader, just let us know in a comment bellow…What is the worst thing you have forgotten?
It’s that easy. Entries will close Friday 7th May.

January, this year. It’s Friday evening, about 5.30. My boyfriend and I have been in Sydney (from Canberra) for a couple of days… We’d been to see Lily Allen in concert, caught up with friends, and were on the bus back to his sister’s flat. I’m gazing out the window at the beach (man, how I miss the beach), when I suddenly turn to him and stammer: “Idon’thavethetickets.”
“What?”, he asks.
“I… I don’t… Big Day Out tickets. I don’t have them.”
He looks at me like I’m insane. “I didn’t pack them. I didn’t even get them out of the drawer!”
We get off the bus at the next stop (Why? We’re not at our destination??) and I try not to hyperventilate.
“It’s ok,” he comforts me, “we can drive back to Canberra tonight and come back up in the morning.”
I have a brainwave… I phone a friend who I know are coming to the BDO. “Mate! Are you still in Canberra?” I hear a door shut, and he tells me he’s just leaving. I babble at him incoherently, and he kindly agrees to drive 40mins across town (which, at 5.30pm on a Friday night was probably more like an hour) to rifle through my underwear drawer to rescue my Big Day Out tickets for me. We met him and his girlfriend at the gates the next morning. My saviours!
I’m usually totally over the top OCD about making sure I have the tickets. I’d made my boyfriend show me the Lily Allen tickets before we left the house (he was all, “don’t you trust me?” and I was all “I just need to see them!”) – at no point did it occur to us to make sure I’d packed the tickets that I was responsible for! (We’ve since been to Sydney for a couple of concerts, and I’ve remembered the tickets each time. I know I won’t be so lucky as to catch my friend walking out his front door again.)
I don’t think I’ve forgotten anything disaserous… unless I’ve forgotten that!

Once and only once did I forget to buy Loo paper….
I’m constantly afraid that I’ll forget something that I make lists. Sure a little OCD, but for the most part it works well until I missed my flight! I went on a holiday with my best friend to Bali. We had a great time, enjoyed the beach, shopping, dancing, massages, drinking, the works. We BOTH somehow totally lost track of the days that we didn’t realize we missed our flight until 2 days after!! I’m not even blonde and it felt like a blonde moment!
Well it’s a toss up really between forgetting my first born (newborn) and leaving her in the supermarket trolley (in her capsule) the first time I took her shopping… it only took me a couple of minutes to remember and I drove straight back to get her! … or my second child, when she was 18 months old, being locked in the car when I forgot to take the keys out of the ignition. She was there for about half an hour, and even the policeman from the nearby police station couldn’t get her out. A small crowd had gathered to see if their keys worked, and finally someone’s chub steering lock key opened my datsun car door! My daughter was happy the whole time and found it quite entertaining to have all those people looking at her through the glass.
