Caffeine, caffeine, caffeine. What is caffeine? What does it
do? How do we use it? How does it keep us awake? Well,
today I’m going to answer all of these long-awaited questions. Why? Because we,
at MF Coffee, thrive on informing you guys on everything that's about coffee. It’s
just what we do.
The purpose in caffeine is to make us feel elated, energetic,
and attentive. You could get a minimal amount of sleep and it will still find a
way to provide you with that boost you so desperately need.
So, what exactly gives caffeine that energising sensation?
Well, in the human body, caffeine acts as a type of stimulant for the central
nervous system. It keeps us awake by blocking out the key sleep molecule called adenosine. This is created by our beautiful brain. The process then continues as
our bodies NEED a constant supply of energy. The way our body gets this energy
is by breaking down adenosine triphosphate (also known as ATP) in the process. Infusing with MF Coffee’s smooth liquidity will allows the molecule to get into your
bloodstream faster which will then go directly to the muscles needed (including
the brain) in order to give all the required organs a giant wake up call. (Same way you guys need a wake up call to head over to mfproducts.co.uk !)
Caffeine is what is called an adenosine receptor antagonist,
which means that it disrupts the process of slowing neurons down by blocking
the adenosine molecules. This is what makes you sleepy. By blocking them and
stopping the production of this chemical, caffeine as a result makes you more
alert and attentive.
So how does it continue to keep you awake? After you taken
that delicious gulp of MF Coffee the caffeine then loosens the dopamine receptors
which is the ‘mood lifting molecule’. As caffeine replaces the adenosine (which
tightens the dopamine receptor) there are now greater opportunities for the
dopamine to be released.
When the feeling of drinking a superb cup of MF Coffee is mixed with the elating sensation of dopamine, the caffeine and coffee work together
to create a sense of alertness as your body wants to savour such an incredible
moment for a prolonged period of time.
And that’s how caffeine keeps you awake. It restricts sleeping
molecules and allows happy molecules to be released.
