Eating ice cream for breakfast will make you smarter. At least that's what Japanese scientists claim!
Lovers of ice cream and all things sweet will be especially happy about this discovery. Eating ice cream for breakfast will make you smarter! Well, this is news! They came to this realization Japanese researchers from Tokyo's Kyorin University based on a series of clinical tests in which they compared mental abilities of individuals, who ate ice cream right after getting up, and those who didn't.
The test subjects had to rescue after the morning meal mental tests on the computer. Compared to the group that didn't eat ice cream for breakfast, they had quite a bit better reaction time and they are process information better, explains the professor Yoshihiko Koga, head of the research. They monitored during implementation brain activity. An increase in high was observed in those who consumed ice cream alpha waves. In the alpha state, you can quickly and efficiently complete any task, suggestibility increases, otherwise we associate these waves with increased attention and reduced sensitivity to stimuli from the environment.
It's not just that due to low temperatures ice cream, because in the case of cold water the results were not nearly as good. It is interesting that this ability of ice cream was discovered only today, when the first forms of ice cream had already appeared 3000 BC. At that time, the Chinese brought snow from the mountains and mixed it with fruit, honey and wine. Otherwise, it is not the first time that he has been attributed with 'super' powers. In 406 BC it's ice cream Hippocrates, the Greek physician and father of the phrase "Let food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food," attributed healing powers, since this invigorates the organism and improves general well-being. So if you're smart, when you get up tomorrow morning, start your day with ice cream. But if you haven't, start it so you will. The smart ones.
