Can coffee boost our memory?

On the MF Products blog page, we take pride in learning. It’s truly amazing understanding how powerful coffee can be and how consuming MF Coffee, can genuinely aid your life in becoming easier and better overall. One of our readers this week asked if it’s true that coffee can “boost our memory”.  The MF Products Team absolutely loved the question and therefore took the time to research and delve into all the facts before posting this blog. But anyways, here we are. So, without further ado, let’s get into this.

There have been numerous studies that have suggested that caffeine has many health benefits. Now, due to technology and research there’s possibly evidence to suggest that a dose of caffeine after a learning session may help to boost long-term memory. This is according to a study published in the journal Nature Neuroscience.

A research team led by Daniel Borota from the John Hopkins university in Baltimore, distinguished that despite there being previous research that had analysed the effects of caffeine as a cognitive enhancer, there wasn’t much studies in detail that determined if caffeine could impact long term memory.

This led to 160 participants between the ages of 18-30 years old being analysed. One the first study day, these participants were given pictures of different objects and were asked to identify them as “indoor” or “outdoor” items.

After the test, the volunteers were randomised to either receive 200mg of caffeine or a placebo with no caffeine at all. The next day, the same people were shown the same pictures as well as some new ones and were asked to identify which were “new”, “old” or “similar”.

It was found that the subjects who consumed caffeine were better at identify the pictures that were similar as opposed to those who took the placebo.

This was fantastic news for The MF Products Team, as we were able to correlate this back to whether “coffee can improve our memory”. A cup of MF Coffee on average will contain around 94.5 mg of caffeine and from the research conducted the minimum amount of caffeine required to initiate this “memory power” is around 200mg. This conclusively meant that 2 cups of MF Coffee are what would be needed in order to “improve our memory”.

How to make the MF Soursop smoothie.

  Good evening MF Blog readers, we hope you all are staying active during this cold Christmas season. As the year draws to a close, MF Products still have a variety of tasty recipes to broadcast and this week we will be looking at how we can use our MF Soursop to make some delightful treats. Today we will be making our very own MF Soursop smoothie with bananas and almonds. We chose bananas due it’s alpha and beta carotene content when consumed by the body, this then turns in vitamin A. Bananas are also a good source of potassium and due to its low water content, it contains more calories and is more filling. This pairs wonderfully with the benefits of soursop (previously mentioned in another blog) as it; possesses antioxidants, fights against bacteria, and boosts the immune system. Almonds are also very beneficial as they contain unsaturated fats, fibre, magnesium as well as protein. When adding all three ingredients together, this is a very healthy smoothie that will help to ...

Benefits of pimento (also known as allspice).

Before we get into the benefits of pimento, at MF Products UK we believe we must look at a foods history first and learn about its origin. So, without further ado let’s look into pimento which is also known as allspice. The pimento tree is indigenous to the Caribbean Islands. It was found growing in Jamaica by early Spanish explorers who were quite impressed with its tantalising taste and aroma of the berries and the leaves. Pimento trees were then later discovered in Cuba and were presumed to have been taken there by migrant birds who had eaten the berries. They have also been found in Mexico, but it is Jamaica that has the longest history, having been in continuous production since the tree was identified in about the year 1509. The name Pimento originated from the Spanish word "pimienta" which meant ‘peppercorn’. To most English-speaking people the tree is called "pimento" and the berries "allspice". The name allspice originated from the widespread n...
