I found this while searching the net
Its from a sports book by Ben Greenfield Fitness
Title: Beyond Training Mastering Endurance, Health & LifeI am posting links to three chapters.
Hope you get a chance to read them.
It's about the brain.
Have you read any other book/article that explain it better ? Hope you can provide a link
thanks !----------------quote reference

Welcome to Chapter 22 of Beyond Training: Mastering Endurance, Health & Life, in which youre going continue to discover the two ways your brain breaks, and exactly what you can do about it.
-----------excerpt
The Two Ways Your Brain BreaksAs you now know, its very obvious that your brain is the primary determinant of where your true performance capabilities lie not to mention that a well-functioning, optimally tuned brain is also pretty darn important when it comes to your quality of life, your work productivity, your communication skills, your problem solving abilities and much more.
But unfortunately, most of us walk around with broken, inflamed, poorly functioning and poorly trained brains. This is usually due a combination of two factors:
1. Neurotransmitter Problems
2. HPA Axis Dysfunction
If both these issues are addressed, then your brain tissue, nerve cells and neurons will be healthy enough to optimally process information and seamlessly communicate with your body during a workout or a race, healthy enough for you to train your brain to resist getting distracted by morning work or tempting foods, and healthy enough for your mind to allow you to experience huge mental and physical performance breakthroughs.
So lets learn how to fix both these issues, shall we?
-------------------------
8 Ways To Fix Neurotransmitter Problems1. Taper Off or Avoid Anti-Depressants
2. Moderate Stimulants
3. Avoid Toxin Exposure
4. Avoid Sensory Overload
5. Fix Your Gut
6. Replace Building Blocks
7. Neurotransmitter Repletion
8. Lube The Nerves With Fats
-----------------
SummarySo there you have it: avoid anti-depressants, modulate stimulants, avoid toxins, avoid sensory overload, fix your gut, replace building blocks, eat healthy fats, and, if necessary, replete with neurotrasmitter therapy. You now know how to enable your nerve cells to be highly tuned communicators, ready to listen and respond appropriately to the commands from your brain. Not surprisingly, many of the strategies above are similar to the type of strategies you learned in Chapter 4, and can be used not just to increase focus, decrease distractions, or feel better, but also to enhance highly nervous system dependent systems in your body such as power and speed.
