BBC Radio 4 - Just One Thing - with Michael Mosley, Take a Break

Why taking a break can improve your eye health, boost focus and enhance creativity.

Michael reveals how to boost your mood, focus, creativity and help your eyesight - by simply stopping work for a moment!

In this episode, Michael reveals why adding regular breaks to your day can benefit your body, your mind and even your productivity. What’s more, if you allow your mind to wander freely during your breaks - no social media! - the benefits are even greater. Michael speaks to cognitive neuroscientist Professor Moshe Bar from Bar-Ilan University in Tel Aviv to find out exactly what goes on in our brains when we allow our minds to wander, and why it could be a good thing for mood, problem solving and creativity.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
