Glucose is food for though
Glucose is food for though Oxygen and glucose have been found to boost memory
and brain power. These two are shown to improve cognitive function,
particularily in more difficult tasks. Glucose tablets or inhaling
oxygen at an oxygen bar would not be sufficient to impove brain
function for any useful amount of time, but taking the herbal
extract ginko probably would. Research has found that ginko likely
improves blood flow, oxygenation and glucose metabolism, and can
improve attention spans for as long as six hours. APRIL 2, 2001
