The document discusses the antioxidants found in coffee, including polyphenols, flavonoids, proanthocyanidins, cinnamic acids, quinines, and trigonelline. It states that these antioxidants are associated with reduced risks of certain cancers such as esophageal, liver, oral and breast cancers. The document then explains that coffee's effects are due to dopamine, which acts as a neurotransmitter and improves alertness. Caffeine blocks adenosine receptors in the central nervous system, increasing neuron firing and adrenaline production, which leads to benefits such as increased attention, memory performance, and physical performance as well as reduced risks of heart disease and liver disease.
Coffee for fun!
- 12. Substance in coffee that acts as antioxidants Polyphenols Polyphenols Flavonoids Flavonoids Proanthocyanidins Proanthocyanidins Cinnamic acids Cinnamic acids Quinines Quinines Trigonelline Trigonelline
- 13. Oesophageal cancer Liver cancer Oral cavity/ Pharynx cancer Non-hormone receptive breast cancer
- 15. The answer lies with DOPAMINE
- 17. How?
- 24. Woke up >> neurons produce adenosine >> adenosine receptor at CNS monitor the action >> caffeine as a block of wood >> bind at there and doesnt activate the receptor >> no stimulant will be send to brain
- 26. Working memory Short-term storage memory
- 27. Some of the studies indicate that drinking coffee can improve short term memory Reaction times Reverse symptoms of Alzheimer's disease Regular consumption of caffeine
- 28. How it may work? Adenosine and Caffeine Adenosine and Caffeine Improving alertness temporarily Improving alertness temporarily Increased neuron firing Increased neuron firing
- 29. Adrenal gland produces adrenaline Adrenal gland produces adrenaline
- 30. Increased Attention and Memory Performance Feel Fresh and not Sleepy Decreased Risk of Heart disease Increased physical performance Decreased Risk of Liver Disease
