Gourmet Specialty Coffee Company, J. Martinez, Explains How Coffee May Improve Your Memory

    ATLANTA, GA, April 29, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The coffee espresso experts, J. Martinez, discuss the cognitive enhancing benefits a cup of coffee can provide. Not only does this favorite morning drink give us improved alertness, but numerous studies have also shown that it can also bolster one's memory, which is good news for those of us who live hectic lifestyles.

In a recent research test, 73 participants were chosen to partake in a study that would determine whether coffee can indeed improve brain functioning, namely with regards to memory recall. Of the individuals, all of which reported not being a casual drinker of gourmet coffee, half were given a 200 milligram dose of caffeine (the rough equivalent of one to two cups) with the remaining participants given a placebo.

Keep in mind that this was double blind study, meaning the researchers were also unaware of who took the real caffeine supplement and who did not. Each person was shown a series of pictures and were asked to recall the images they saw the next day by way of comparison.

Not surprisingly, those who took the supplement had much higher memory recall; interestingly, a different set of tests demonstrated that 200 milligrams is the ideal dose of caffeine, as those who consumed more in a brief period had minimally improved memory function, and those that consumed less saw little to no change in their recall ability.

According to John Martinez, Owner of J. Martinez & Company, "For whatever reason, 200 milligrams is the sweet spot. So the next time you study for a test, limit your coffee consumption to no more than two cups. Our tasty gourmet coffee blends definitely make this a challenge, though!".
