Hey guys :)
So I heard that apples can work better then caffeine to help keep you awake. Now, the question is, is it true or not?
I'm the kind of girl that goes to Starbucks every morning before school and I feel better knowing that I'm going to be awake and alert all day. (In case you guys were wondering I get the White Mocha Frap, its my fav:D) The thing is, caffeine is a stimulant; a legal drug pretty much. I didn't know this two weeks ago. And, coffee makes your teeth yellow, so I decided to just stop drinking it all together. The thing is, I've been feeling pretty darn tired in 1st period, and it kind of sucks. So, when I heard that apples can work to help keep you awake, I got pretty exited, because I love apples and I wouldn't mind making them part of my cheerios breakfast every morning.
So, i found out that that yes apples CAN help keep you awake.
Apples and other fruits contain natural sugars which will provide some immediate blood-sugar boost for your alertness. But if your blood-sugar is already at a level equated with being well-fed (having eaten a moderately sized bowl of pasta or cereal in the past few hours, for example) and apple, fruit, or any other food will do very little to increase your alertness.
Caffeine, as a stimulant, will artificially increase your alertness. No-Doze and other anti-sleep pills are usually nothing more than higher-dose caffeine tablets. Unlike food, which plateaus in how much alertness it provides (and eventually decreases alertness, that heavy, sedentary feeling after holiday meals for instance), caffeine will continue to boost alertness up until it either kills you from toxic poisoning, or causes a heart attack or stroke.
Hope you guys will join me in not drinking coffee after reading this :)
Have an awesome day, and please follow my blog, I'll post more soon.
Love,
Sally <3333
