We all want to get smarter. Aren't we?
One way to get our creative juices flowing is by drinking coffee. This is one of the health benefits of coffee. Unconvinced? Here's how.
Caffeine, the stimulant found in coffee, when consumed is carried from the intestines into the bloodstream and ultimately into the brain. Once it gets there, it blocks the neurotransmitter adenosine and increases brain activity.
By preventing adenosine, other neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine have a clear passage to do their work of increasing the firing rate of neurons which results in an improved mood, better memory, concentration and reaction time.
