Nicholas Gant, coauthor of the study, of the University of Aukland in New Zealand said "What we've uncovered is a way in which we can shortcut our sensory circuitry, and to fool our body, maybe, briefly, into thinking the tank is full." He is referring to a study that suggests that the initial consumption of a carbohydrate rich energy source, prior to nutrient absorption, may be enough to trick our brains into giving our body a temporary energy boost. The studies results held true even when the products were swished and spit back out. Gant and colleagues use the phrase "mouth-to-muslce" to describe the process that leaves the stomachs role out entirely.
i find this interesting! i think its true that we can perform better because our brains only think we are better from some rich energy drink.
ReplyDeletewow this is really interesting. i like how it said we can trick our brains. seems like it really works.
