Caffeine For Your Brain?
June 13, 2009 3:30 am ReferenceYou want to concentrate more and wake up that sleepy mind, but is caffeine good for the brain? Yes and no. First, it is clear from the research done that it does give your mental powers a boost in the near-term. That much is also clear from experience. It is hard to concentrate when you are tired, after all.
The problem comes with regular use. Your body becomes so accustomed to the caffeine fix that all it really does is bring you up to a normal level of function. Miss that cup of coffee then and you will have more trouble with concentration than if you never started on caffeine. Also, many people are so sensitive to caffeine that having more than a cup clouds thinking because of the jitters and anxiety it causes. To use it in moderation seems to be the best advice.
