Caffeine and Glucose Can Improve Brain Activity Efficiency As I have gotten older , I have noticed the decline in my memory.  It is alarming to constantly forget why you walked into a room, or what you were about to say.  This is great news for the absentminded! According to a study, a glucose and caffeine combination can improve brain activity efficiency. The main study results were that the 2 substances combined improve cognitive performance in terms of working memory and sustained attention by increasing brain activity efficiency in the brain regions responsible for these 2 functions. This supports the notion of a synergistic effect between 2 substances, in which the effect of each one is boosted by the other.  Great news for coffee lovers!!!   The researchers found that all those who consumed a combination of glucose and caffeine showed reduced activation in areas of the brain brain connected to the task in the left prefrontal cortex and the bilate...

A well-balanced diet is important, of course — eating a variety of healthy foods helps keep skin supple and glowing.

Must Haves For Your Night Out When getting ready for a night out, you probably always think through the items you want to take with you in case you run into any situation!  Here are a few essentials I always take with me! Lip Gloss/Lipstick : This one is easy to remember.  I carry lipstick with me every day for touch ups.  With all the talking I do....I always need to reapply! Flats : I always have a pair of flats stashed in my car in case my feet hurt from wearing high heels all night.  On your way back from your event, just slip on flats and have a big sign of relief!

The Many Uses Of Fractionated Coconut Oil What Is Fractionated Coconut Oil? Coconut oil itself is extracted from the meat of the coconut fruit. Even before processing, it is very high in saturated fat, with a content that hovers around 90%. In pure form, coconut oil is solid at room temperature, with a milky color. When refined or fractionated, it becomes clear to yellow in color, and it is liquid at room temperature. The refining process removes impurities that could cause the oil to become rancid over time. The big advantage to fractionated coconut oil over regular coconut oil is that it is very shelf-stable. It will not become rancid, unlike unrefined oils, making it easier to work with. It is also capable of handling very high heat, which can be a distinct bonus, and it can be easier to work with than solid coconut oil. Thanks to the fact that it has a long shelf life, it does not require special storage and handling procedures, beyond keeping it in a co...
