Caffeine significantly improves a person's memory, making it less forgetful and improves long-term memory consolidation during the day after he drank one or more cups of coffee. Neuroscientists say about this in an article published in the journal Nature Neuroscience. "We always knew that caffeine improves brain function, but no one tried to find out how it works in our memory and mental abilities, and whether he affects the ability to remember the information. The first time we were able to establish that caffeine reduces our forgetfulness over 24 hours "- said Michael Yassa of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore (USA). Yassa and his colleagues uncovered the positive effect of caffeine on human memory for example volunteers, tasks for memory. This experiment was conducted in two stages - first, the participants considered a set of pictures for a few minutes, after which the researchers asked them to eat real or dummy pill with caffeine. A day later, researche...

Biological organism is most susceptible to the effects of caffeine only a few hours after waking up, say U.S. neuroscientists, foreign media reported. "The maximum effect is achieved by the interaction of caffeine that substance with hormone cortisol regulating human biological clock," - explains neuroscientist at the University of Maryland (USA), Stephen Miller. About 7 to 9 am cortisol is at its peak, thanks to this man wakes up in the morning and is able to act consciously. If you drink coffee after waking up when the level of cortisol in the body and so is high enough, develop a tolerance to caffeine, the effectiveness of its impact is reduced. Thus, over time, you need more and more invigorating drink to wake up. After an hour or two after waking cortisol levels in the body starts to decrease, and then the coffee will come to the rescue. Drunk at the time or later a cup of coffee can increase the production of cortisol, causing us to wake up again.

How much coffee you can drink in a day without any risk to your health? The answer to this question is given by Health Canada. The average person can consume up to 400 mg of caffeine per day, while not causing harm to their health. In terms of the cup - it's only 2 medium cup of coffee. In a large cup of coffee contains the same 3/4 safe daily dose of caffeine. However, the scientists explained that such statistical averages may vary depending on gender and human genetics. Is also important and is what drugs a person takes. For example, in women taking birth control, caffeine is absorbed more slowly. But pregnant women can consume in a day 2 times less caffeine than nonpregnant - only 200 mg (1 medium cup of coffee). Take a more than 10 grams of caffeine (75 cups of coffee) per day deadly.

If you are familiar with the problems of constipation , you should pay attention to your diet. The most common and favorite foods can cause problems with emptying. Chocolate Favorite all delicacy not only improves mood, but can lead to weight gain and impaired bowel function. Scientists believe that large amounts of fat in chocolate slows down the digestive process. Slowing peristalsis leads to problems with emptying, fermented foods and excessive gassing. In the German study, surveys were conducted among persons suffering from constipation. And the most common reason to call them patients reported consumption of chocolate. Dairy produce Dairy products such as milk and cheese in large quantities may cause constipation. Included with all dairy products lactose increases flatulence, which leads to disruption of the bowel. Iranian physicians in the survey of children aged 1 to 13 years found that the most common cause of constipation was consumption of dairy products. With the...

As the popularity of non-alcoholic "energy" drinks skyrockets, so do related health problems, a new study finds. In 2009, U.S. emergency rooms treated almost 10 times more cases of reactions to beverages such as Monster and Rockstar than they did in 2005, according to a new U.S. government report released Tuesday. More than 13,000 ER visits related to the highly caffeinated drinks were reported in 2009, said researchers from the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Nearly half the emergencies occurred after the beverages were mixed with alcohol or other drugs, and young adults aged 18 to 25 accounted for more than half of those cases, the researchers found. "A lot of attention has been paid to energy drinks that have alcohol in them and everybody understands that the effect of that can be pretty serious, but energy drinks by themselves can have adverse effects," said lead author Albert Woodward, project director of SAMHSA...
