Hi Elaine

Congratulations!! i always put off going to Waitomo because I wanted to do the 'active' tour and knew I'd never make it the way I am now. Also to make the walk up to the waterfall!!

Well done!

I just came across this (i'm on a research mission) and I thought it might be of interest.

"All of the books reviewed also agree that low glycaemic foods will increase production of the brain chemical, serotonin, which quells hunger as well as improving our moods. One author progressed to say that eating foods rich in the amino acid, tyrosine, such as soya bean, fish, eggs and cottage cheese, will produce more of another brain chemical, dopamine, which fights tiredness and helps prevent snacking."
