For many who have attended a conference or two, the thought of a long period of sitting and being attentive to speakers, can be daunting.

When it comes to hosting a conference that extends for more than a few hours, guests can at times lose focus and become restless because they have not yet fuelled their minds with appropriate food that is needed to concentrate.

This is the reason why Granny Mouse Country House & Spa have created a menu that allows for “brain food” to be incorporated, allowing a more successful transfer of information between speakers and conference goers.

Four foods that are known to help with mental focus include, leafy green vegetables, coffee, whole grain foods and nuts.

Both the Granny Mouse Executive Chef, Shaun Dampies as well as the General Manager, Sean Granger recently collaborated to work out special conference menus with some of the items incorporating these four brain foods to assist in sharpening mental focus.

“It is a fact that the types of food we eat affect how we think, focus and act, so we decided to change up our conference meals to incorporate some “brain food” that will help our guests attending conferences at our property, think and focus better,” Granger says.

The Standard 24 Hour 4 Conference is one such package that has meals that incorporate brain foods. “We start the day off with a Full English Breakfast and Full Continental Buffet Breakfast, incorporating seeds and nuts, whole grain cereal and breads as well as coffee, because we believe that one’s mind needs to be fed before it can be used to its full potential,” he adds.
