We zombify... sausage and coffee?

It turns out that some very familiar product unusual influence on our psyche. Even sausages can affect our mood and health.



"Coffee hypnosis" will help you fighting him?


Sydney psychophysiology, provided training on office management. In particular, we studied the effect of beverages that usually offer visitors (tea and coffee), to the style and outcome of the conversation.




The study involved 140 volunteers debaters on various social issues, from terrorism to the environment. One group is in the process offered tea, another coffee. Then leading sharply launched the discussion by shelling room for arguments that were contrary to the viewpoint of the participants. And most of those who drank more than 2 cups of coffee, more willingly defected to the side of the "enemy". While the bulk of drinking tea continued to stand on his own.




What the researchers concluded: coffee lovers are a very tempting target for manipulation. And caffeine in large doses causes even some semblance of "coffee hypnosis".




How so? We always thought coffee is the best way to shake things up and collect my thoughts in a bunch...




"Yes, " agrees well-known psychiatrist Alexander Magalif, in small doses, caffeine stimulates the nervous system, but in the big causes euphoria, excessive release of adrenaline and already, on the contrary, can't concentrate.




Is the same in essence the effects of alcohol: a small dose helps to recover from stress, and most paralyzes the brain, and will.





From "instant" noodles spoil the mood...


It turns out, hit the nervous system and products, at first glance does not have any psychoactive properties. For example, "instant" noodles or sausages. Some people who are prone to food allergies, suffer from headaches and irritability from substances such as tyramine, MSG and nitrite.

The man begins to feel dissatisfied, niggles to close abruptly. And here it is not far to bulimia with anorexic.

Bad effect on the psyche of junk food, slow endocrine processes. That is, fatty meat, sausages, strong broths - in a word, all that stone falls on the stomach.


Also serotonin (the hormone responsible for our emotional state) reduce the products of fermentation - including beer.
