Boost Memory: Drink Lots of Caffeine

Isn’t it ironic that schools are banning energy drinks in a time when test scores are everything, while a new study shows that large amounts of caffeine is actually believed to enhance memory.

According to a new study in Japan, scientists found out that just as muscle cells are stimulated by caffeine, brain cells in the hippocampus are stimulated to increase calcium concentration. This improves the cells signal flow, which improves memory.

The scientists noted that in the mice they were working with, they used a high concentration of caffeine, so drinking a cup of coffee wouldn’t do much good in increasing memory.

Perhaps a few RedLines would.

My advice to all the younger readers would be to print out the study and take it into your administrator in defense for lifting or stopping an energy drink ban at your school.

Let’s face it, schools need all the help that they can get. They’re taking out the coke machines in schools, perhaps they need to replace them with a Fixx dispenser.
