Attention, How Caffeine Works & Having Your Kitchen Work In Your Favor

1)

Truly healthy people are overly protective with their attention.

Because what you give your attention to is the person you become.

2)

Sleep pressure (feeling sleepy) is triggered by the chemical adenosine.

Caffeine works by attaching to the receptors that normally host adenosine, blocking the chemical from making you feel sleepy.

The bottom line?

Caffeine doesn't give you energy. It simply blocks the signal from making you feel sleepy.

3)

Five ways to make your kitchen work in your favor:

1. Make your kitchen less "loungeable." The more you hang out in the kitchen, the more you'll eat.

2. Make tempting foods invisible & inconvenient. Rearrange your cupboard, pantry, and refrigerator so the first foods you see are the best for you.

3. If you have kids, set up a designated “kids’ cupboard” that’s off-limits to you (i.e. poptarts, cookies, etc).

4. Buy in bulk & repackage huge portions into single servings.

5. Make it easier to cook – use cookware you prefer, set the utensils out, etc.
