Caffeinate With Care: Small Shots Do a Brain Better Than Big Blasts

Link: Caffeinate With Care: Small Shots Do a Brain Better Than Big Blasts. My name is Rick. I am an addict. I have written before about coffee addiction. Little did I know that I was doing it right all along. I drink coffee at any time of the day, and my Italian-American stomach takes it in stride. I always knew that small doses all day long were what kept me going, but I didn't know why. Now the scientists inform us that caffeine blocks adenosine receptors in the brain, which is why we stay awake and alert. However, in too large quantities, we become jittery. In small, regular doses, we stay alert and the cognitive abilities improve.
