BIGGBY COFFEE
Coffee is good for you. Online sources say coffee is a big source of antioxidants and helps improve your brain’s function. How does it do that? The caffeine blocks an inhibitory neurotransmitter called Adenosine. When that happens, the amount of other neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine and dopamine actually increases which leads to enhanced firing of neurons, and that’s good. Most of us can use a little neuron enhancement every once in a while.
