Drinking Coffee With Sugar Boosts Brain Power, Memory

Maria Imelda, Medan - Can that morning cup of coffee increase your attention span, memory, judgment and reasoning throughout the day? Iif you're a regular java consumer, you likely already thought so, but a recent study conducted at the University of Barcelona seems to confirm the fact.

Forty subjects recently participated in a study to reveal if caffeine and glucose can have beneficial effects on cognitive performance.

Participants in this study were right-handed, healthy, low caffeine-consuming subjects who received one of the following beverages: plain water, water plus 75 grams of glucose or natural sugar, water plus 75 miligrams of caffeine, or water plus both 75 grams of glucose and 75 miligrams of caffeine. Participants underwent a functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before and 30 minutes after consuming the beverage, and a continuous performance test was used to assess the attention span of each person.

Subjects who received the combination of caffeine and glucose produced a similar performance to the others but had a decrease in activation in the bilateral parietal and left prefrontal cortex, which are the parts of the brain responsible for attention and memory. This may suggest that the caffeine/sugar combination was providing an artificial attention and memory boost in the brains of the subjects who consumed it. Thus, the study concludes a combination of caffeine and glucose could increase a person's attention span.

"In theory, caffeine and glucose could work together if caffeine activates cells and sugar provides the energy to fuel the activation," Dr. Richard Lipton, professor and vice chair of Neurology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and a member of the American Academy of Neurology, told AOL Health after reviewing the Spanish study. "Imagine a circuit with a light bulb, a battery and a switch. In a sense, caffeine acts as a molecular switch and glucose acts as the battery. If you throw the switch without the battery, the light will not go on.

This is a great fix to a drowsy morning; however, overuse of caffeine does have its drawbacks. "One or two cups a day may increase alertness and productivity, but, taken in excess, caffeine tolerance develops," says Lipton. "That means you need more and more caffeine to get the same effect." Overuse of caffeine can lead to gastritis, headaches, and irritability.

Dr. David Knopman, a neurologist with the Mayo Clinic and also an AAN member, says given the study's small size, it shouldn't be taken as conclusive. "Caffeine has long been known as a stimulant," he says, "but the overall health effects of either [caffeine or sugar] depend on quantity and duration."

5 All-Natural Remedies for Holiday Stress

Maria Imelda, Medan - If the holidays make you feel a bit like Anne Hathaway's character in "Rachel Getting Married" -- or if they always seem to propel you directly into the middle of your own unique brand of family-related hellishness -- at least take comfort in the fact that you're far from alone. Holiday stress and family drama (like Thanksgiving itself) seem to have become part of our cultural legacy.

And don't give up! Any or all of these secret holistic strategies may very well (at least slightly) ease your pain.

Four Drops of Rescue Remedy Under the Tongue
Have you heard of this miracle stress-relieving drug? Dubbed "yoga in a bottle," it's a homeopathic remedy, meaning it contains very small traces of natural ingredients that act very gently on the system. If you're like me and other devotees of the stuff, just four drops under the tongue or in a glass of water will mellow you out instantly. (And, it won't hurt to sneak a few drops into the cider.)

Kundalini Yoga for Stress Relief
If you haven't heard of them yet, let me be the first to tell you that Ana Brett and Ravi Singh's Kundalini yoga DVDs are amazing. The immediate positive effects that they have on my mood (and waistline!) make it obvious why Madonna hires them as her private yoga teachers. And, when it comes to the holidays, the 10 minute segments entitled "Soothe Stress/Free Fatigue" and "Anxiety Antidote" on their "Yoga Quick Fixes" DVD couldn't be more perfect. Either or both will start you out on the right foot and get you in the habit of taking a deep breath and connecting with your inner Goddess of Calm instead of getting dragged down into all the drama or overwhelmed by all the activity. (But really any form of yoga -- even ten minutes of it -- will help

A Rock in Your Pocket (or Around Your Neck)
Many massage therapists and energy healers know that various forms of crystals can be used for emotional healing and stress relief. For our present purposes, try rose quartz, kyanite, or moss agate, all of which can help soothe your spirit, heal your heart, and calm your emotions. A loose, polished crystal or a piece of jewelry will work equally well. Just be sure to run the crystal under cold running water for a minute or two to clear its energetic field before carrying it.

A Breath of (Minty) Fresh Air
Here's a good one: carry a tiny bottle of peppermint essential oil in your pocket or purse. Any time you feel the least bit stressed out or pissed off, unscrew the lid and take a deep whiff. Peppermint is unsurpassed when it comes to instilling one with feelings of both calm relaxation and vibrant positive energy. And, taking a moment is always a good idea. (Also: this one might be especially helpful for smokers who shy away from having a smoke in front of the fam ... and then for helping you quit.) 

A Hot Sea Salt Bath
Taking sea salt baths that are as hot as I can possibly stand might be as close as I'll ever come to injecting heroin. The morning or afternoon before the family gath, you might want to try it. Just dissolve about a cup of sea salt into a super hot bath (the sea salt helps neutralize and remove physical and emotional toxins) and relax for at least 40 minutes. You'll turn to butter and the stress-busting, muscle-relaxing effects will help keep you disarmingly mellow throughout the event.

"Bad" Habits That Can Boost Your Health

Maria Imelda, Medan. Yes, it's true: There are health benefits to some of our worst habits. So why does being bad feel so good? "'Bad habits allow us to act like children, which may be a good or a bad thing depending on the circumstances," Dr. Daniel J. Carlat, associate clinical professor of psychiatry at Tufts University School of Medicine, author of "Unhinged" and the Mental Health Specialist for AOL Health's Medical Advisory Board, told AOL Health. Read on to find out which of your "bad" traits you shouldn't break. 
Cursing: Let's face it -- saying a few choices words a la Martin Scorsese can feel really, really good when you're fed up, frustrated or just plain angry. But now researchers from Keele University in the United Kingdom have discovered that swearing may have a purpose, since it can help reduce physical pain. In the journal NeuroReport, scientists explained that they asked 64 volunteers to submerge their hands in freezing cold water while repeating their favorite curse word. Afterward, they performed the task again, only this time repeating a nonswear word. The end result: The volunteers could tolerate the icy water longer while using a four-letter word by nearly double the amount of time (two minutes compared to one minute and 15 seconds). While experts could not pinpoint the exact explanation, lead researcher Dr. Richard Stephens and his team believe that throwing around the F-bomb may trigger the flight-or-fight response, which can increase heart rate and aggression and help the body cope with pain.

Blasting your favorite music: When you find yourself being forgetful, go ahead and crank up the Bon Jovi. Researchers at Glasgow Caledonian University in Scotland believe that listening to rock music at a high volume can improve concentration and boost memory. During the study, which was published in the science journal Consciousness and Cognition, psychologists had 16 volunteers of rock music lovers take a simple memory test four times -- once listening to classical music, another listening to rock, a third time listening to static and lastly taking in the sound of silence. Study participants showed an improvement in concentration and memory when both types of music were played, but during the rock portion of the test, their brain scans revealed they needed less brainpower to complete the test successfully. Music therapist Kimberly Sena Moore told AOL Health that it's not surprising that rock fans performed better when they heard their favorite tunes in the background. "It could be because listening to music they like put them in a relaxed and happy mood, but we still don't know if that's true." However, Sena Moore does warn against blasting too long or too often. "The hair cells in our cochlea (located in the inner ear) are sensitive and blasting any sort of music, whether at a concert, at home or even through headphones, can damage them and even lead to hearing loss or tinnitus later in life."

Enjoying happy hour: Bottoms up! According to the latest research presented this month at the annual American Heart Association, moderate drinking (one drink a day for women and up to two drinks daily for men) may be better for your health than not drinking at all. Researchers in Italy found that male heart bypass patients who drank five to 30 grams of alcohol a day were 25 percent less likely to suffer from a heart attack or stroke compared to men who lived a liquor-free lifestyle. (However, those patients with left ventricular problems who drank four or more beverages a day were more likely to have additional health problems.) As for women, a separate 20-year study reviewed by the Nurses' Health Study concluded that females who drank between one and 15 grams of alcohol a day (about one drink) showed a 20 percent lower risk of stroke compared to women who didn't drink at all. Registered dietitian Julia Renee Zumpano, who works in the Preventive Cardiology & Rehabilitation Department at the Cleveland Clinic, told AOL Health to keep the calorie count in mind. "I would suggest drinking light beer, dry wine, or a mixed drink with one to 1.5 ounces of spirits mixed with a calorie-free beverage -- like soda water, diet tonic or soda, or light juice -- since each of these provide, on average, 100 calories per drink."
