Foods such as donuts food is not super healthy, but could provide the necessary nutrients for the brain effectively to start the day. If you have a difficulty concentrating or remembering things in the morning, because the brain is often the cause is shortage is needed in order to function optimally.
"Sugar is used as a source of brain energy. One reason is because sugar producing important chemical acetylcholine. These chemicals essential to improve memory, attention and care capability of mood," said Dr. Gary L. Wenk, Professor of Psychology, Neuroscience, Immunology and Medical Genetics at Ohio State University The Centers while the author of "Your Brain on Food.
Brain to produce acetylcholine from components derived from the metabolism of sugar called choline. Choline derived from foods that contain lecithin. Lecithin can be found in a variety of bakery products like donuts, pastries and chocolate bowl. So, consume chocolate-covered donuts in these morning wills provide the necessary nutrients the brain to pay attention and learn new things.
"billions of nerve cells in the brain requires a constant supply of sugar to maintain its ability to produce energy and communicate with other nerve cells. Neuron can only tolerate a lack of sugar for several minutes before finally dying," said Professor Wenk as report by Lifehacker.com, Thursday (08/03/2012).
Because sugar declines as time past since last meal, the body begins to eat something sweet. When the day shift in the day, busy nerve cells use acetylcholine and convert sugar to think and learn.As a result, concentration and alertness also from decline.
When by night, low sugar levels more and more led to a decrease in the ability to pay attention and mental retardation. Energy metabolism that is deployed to think and learn throughout the day increase the harsh chemicals that can kill nerve cells, called adenosine. To overcome this, drink coffee.
Adenosine inhibits the function of acetylcholine and causes the body to become less vigilant. Caffeine in coffee could curb the influence of adenosine and acetylcholine release which has been hampered functions. After drinking coffee, attention spans will increase and the body will be ready to do anything until the effects of caffeine runs out. |
