Improve Brain Efficiency With Drinks that Combine Caffeine and Glucose
The first week of March took place in Madrid Congress Health and Medicine Woman (SAMEM), in which Professor Josep M ยช Serrat-Grabulosa presented the “assessment of the beneficial effects of drinks that combine caffeine and sugar” .
After the congress, it became clear that the comings and goings on the consequences of drinking in which the combined caffeine and glucose are not more than positive.
Therefore, who like these types of beverages now have another reason to take them, since, according to a study presented by the teacher, ingesting this drink will achieve better your attention and working memory.
This will increase the efficiency of brain areas responsible for those functions, to consume beverages that combine caffeine and glucose.
The first investigation, “Effects of caffeine and glucose, alone and in combination, on cognitive function,” published in ‘Human Psychopharmacology’, Clinical and Experimental ‘, was led by a significant percentage of the population who underwent an experiment, the chosen people took water fasting with caffeine, glucose water or water containing caffeine and glucose.
After performing the experiment it was concluded that when taken separately for that will not be the same as if they are combined in a single drink, in which case it will improve the brain efficiency.
By eating together both substances will produce a real improvement on the attention, manual dexterity, visual functions, spatial, and frontal, memory (immediate, long-term work) and subjective state.
Therefore, if you like soft drinks or beverages with caffeine and sugar, now you can take them to the end or purpose of improving your brain performance, and obtain the same results with less effort.
Introduction and Function of Carbohydrates (Part 1)
Carbohydrates, also known as carbohydrates or sugars, are organic compounds consisting of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
1. What are they?
Carbohydrates, also known as carbohydrates or sugars, are organic compounds consisting of carbon, hydrogen, and then we’ll see oxygen. A their classification on the basis of chemical structure.
1.1. Monosaccharides
They are the simplest carbohydrates. This group includes glucose, fructose and galactose.
- Glucose: Found in small quantities in fruits and vegetables, being relatively abundant in grapes. It is the most important monosaccharide in the field of nutrition to be the main fuel cell.
Most carbohydrate foods eventually converted into glucose after digestion. Glucose is added to some foods and beverages comes from the decomposition of starch. Glucose increases the energy content of food without increasing their sweetness, contrary to what I would do fructose or sucrose.
