We used to think that sugar is bad for health and it should be possible to exclude from the diet. But recently, British scientists conducted a study and proved that a small amount of sugar can be useful.
What and for whom the use of sugar?
Scientists from the British University of Warwick have found that one sugar spooncan improve concentration, attention and even mood. They divided the subjects into two groups - one group drank a beverage with low sugar content, the other with artificial sweetener - and asked to perform certain tasks on the memory.
As it turned out, the sugar, unlike artificial sweetenersIt improves memory, mood and concentration of people who are over 65 years old. In addition, a small amount of sugar improves productivity and work capacity of young people aged 18-27 years, but the mood and memory is not significantly affected.
Scientists have explained this phenomenon by the fact that the availability of power, which gives the glucose causes people to be more motivated to work. They noted that the energy in the form of high blood sugar is brief, but it can be an important motivator for older people to perform certain actions.
Scientists believe that these results can help shape recommendations on nutrition for people who want to improve the productivity in old age.
