Consuming 0.5 ml peppermint oil in a drink for 10 consecutive days was found to improve body performance since it increases respiratory system efficiency through
increasing capacity of lungs, oxygen supply to muscle cells, and its inhibitory effect on blood pressure.
Located in Germany, Norway and the UK, the people completed questionnaires regarding their diets and overall nutritional intake, plus they underwent a procedure that measured
