Food For Thought

Filed under: brain,caffeine,carbohydrates,memory,memory loss,omega-3,Uncategorized — doctorsolve @ 5:40 pm

If you have a job, which you most likely do since you have access to a computer to read this, you are quite likely required to think. What you eat and drink in your day is 100 % related to your work or school performance. It is important to have a healthy diet to keep your brain working; it is also possible to feed your brain with the best foods to further increase its activity and better its performance.

1. Eat fish – Is this why people stereotype Asian people as smart? Maybe. Fish have choline and omega-3 fatty acids. Both of these improve your brains activities. A test was done on baby rats by giving them a dose of choline. When given to young rats, the results were lifelong memory enhancement. In a human experiment, pregnant women were given cod liver oil or corn oil through their pregnancies. Because of the omega-3 fatty acids (which were in the cod liver oil but not the corn oil) the children given the cod liver oil had a considerably higher IQ score at the age of four.

2. Stop with the Carbs – Although you do need carbohydrates on a daily basis, people are getting more than enough already. When we eat too many carbs our bodies will shut down and we will become tired. This makes it difficult to concentrate. Fruits and vegetables are a better option than bread and pastas.

3. Caffeine – Do you need caffeine to stay awake? Don’t become addicted. Caffeine can help your brain function more quickly and efficiently, but you should not need to rely on caffeine on a daily basis. Once you have become addicted to caffeine, your brain will function less than normal until you have had your caffeine intake. This is unhealthy.

4. Eat a balanced breakfast – How can your brain function without food? Can you imagine yourself turning on a flashlight that doesn’t have batteries in it? It will not work because it has no power source. Food is your batteries. Try and get at least 3 food groups into your breakfast. An ideal breakfast would be granola cereal, yogurt, and an apple.

Thinking requires quite a specific diet. Eating lots of protein, as well as drinking lots and lots of water, and filling up on fiber will guarantee you a more efficient brain.

Coffee and Tea are linked to Diabetes Prevention

Filed under: benefits of coffee,caffeine,Diabetes,green tea,obesity,Type 2 diabetes,Uncategorized — doctorsolve @ 3:49 pm

According to the International Diabetes foundation, By 2025, about 380 million people worldwide will be affected by Type 2 diabetes. It is suggested that some day, people who are at greater risk for diabetes may be told to consume more tea and coffee on a regular basis as well as exercising more often.

Researchers looking at 18 studies involving over 450,000 people between 1966 and 2009 have found the link between coffee and diabetes. The data was recently analyzed by Rachel Huxley and her colleagues from the George Institute for International Health in Sydney, Australia.

Huxley found that each cup of coffee that a person drank per day reduced the risk of diabetes by 7%. The researchers from the Archives of Internal Medicine concluded that those who drink three or four cups a day have a 25% lower risk than those who drank between zero and two cups per day. People who drink more than three cups of decaf coffee a day have around a 1/3rd lower risk of developing diabetes. Those who drink more than three to four cups of tea have a 1/5th lower risk than those who drink no tea.

The fact that these results were found in decaf beverages eliminates the possibility that caffeine is the cause. Researchers suggest that compounds in the drinks such as magnesium or antioxidants might be linked to the findings. Other research showed that caffeine may actually increase the risk of diabetes in obese people. More research must be made in order to take into account specific things like the effects on certain ethnic groups and whether tea drinkers are more health aware than coffee drinkers in general.

6 Foods that Improve Your Sex Drive

Filed under: blood vessels,caffeine,depressant,energy,libido,muscle reserve,sex,sex drive,Uncategorized — doctorsolve @ 11:30 am

1. Dark Chocolate

Eating Dark Chocolate is a great way to help your body release feel-good hormones which are released during sex and physical activity. Cocoa itself is a stimulant which makes the skin more sensitive to touch.

Be careful – researchers found that cocoa stimulates the same brain centers as cocaine, but having too much will reverse the effects. Stay away from white chocolate and eat small amounts of dark chocolate which is packed with more cocoa.

2. Steak

The protein in Sirloin steak will boost the body’s energy levels and heighten the body’s sensitivity levels giving you a more effective alternative to caffeine and sugar – which lower the testosterone levels in the body.

3. Chilli Peppers

Caliente Chilli Peppers will cause the heart to speed up and the skin to flush with blood. Chilli peppers help the flow of blood throughout the body raising your excitement levels.

4. Blueberries

Blueberries are a natural version of Viagra. They also help remove excess cholesterol from the blood reducing the cholesterol levels being absorbed into the arteries – a great way to keep the circulatory system healthy and flowing smoothly.

5. Vanilla Ice Cream

Half a cup of vanilla ice cream has the ability to increase your muscles ability to reserve energy which will boost your libido. The muscles in the sexual response system rely on calcium to fully operate. The calcium in the milk will help you feel fully charged.

6. A Glass of Wine

It’s true that a glass of wine will help you relax at the end of the day. Alcohol acts as a depressant in the brain which will lower your inhibition to restrain arousal and one glass of wine will cause the blood vessels to relax. Any more than two glasses of wine will reverse the effects.

5 Reasons Why You Should Drink Coffee

Filed under: Alzheimer\'s,benefits of coffee,caffeine,coffee,Diabetes,Parkinson\'s,Uncategorized — doctorsolve @ 4:32 pm

For those that are much like me and love their cup of coffee whenever they can get it, there are many positive benefits of drinking that cup of what I like to call, pure “awesomeness.”

1. Helps prevent brain illnesses such as, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and dementia. Numerous studies have shown that caffeine helps in the protection from brain diseases. A study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health showed that the moderate consumption of caffeine cut the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease in half!

2. Protects against diabetes. That’s right, drinking coffee helps prevent diabetes type 2, the type of diabetes where the body tissues actually become resistant to insulin. A study from the Archives of Internal Medicine found that women who drank 6 or more cups of coffee a day were 22% less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than women who drank no coffee at all.

3. Coffee contains antioxidants. Antioxidants help prevent cell damage, which is related to the process of aging. However, this cell damage is also tied to many forms of cancer. German researchers found a potent antioxidant compound in coffee that appears to boost phase 2 enzymes, which are believed to prevent colon cancer, the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States.

4. Coffee reduces the risk of eye spasms that lead to blindness. A study published in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry showed that coffee may reduce the risk of the eye disorder blepharospasm, which can lead to blindness. Current treatments for the disorder are botox injections, or the surgical removal of eyelid nerves. However, the study found that patients who drank two or more cups of coffee a day could prevent the onset of the eye disorder by 1.7 years for every extra cup they drank.

5. Coffee reduces muscle pain. A study published in the Journal of Pain, showed that drinking coffee can reduced muscle pain after a workout quite significantly. In fact, two cups of coffee were found to reduce muscle pain by up to 48%!
