Curiosities of the Brain

Should you make the Brain drunk?

Very low doses can have the positive effect of reducing damage caused by mental or emotional stress and can actually improve response times. In sustained high doses alcohol “shrinks” the brain that results in cognitive impairment. Foetal alcohol exposure has multiple bad effects on infant brain development and represents a leading cause of mental retardation.
How much coffee the Brain would like?

Coffee does much more than keep you awake – it actually reduced cognitive decline. Studies demonstrated that the optimal dose was three cups of coffee per day. Caffeine was proposed to stimulate certain neurons that protect against neurotoxicity.
What does infant Brain need?

Infants who are not breastfed or are partially breastfed should receive iron-fortified formula from birth to 12 months (The Committee on Nutrition of the American Academy of Paediatrics).
