London – According to Tom’s Guide, while caffeine keeps you up by making your brain more alert, apples energise you by providing you with calories, sugar, and carbohydrates, which in turn wake you up. Apples are an excellent source of slow-release energy, thanks to their fibre, fructose, and carbohydrate content. A cup of coffee is more effective than an apple at providing an immediate mental boost. UK-based nutritionist and author Rob Hobson “Coffee blocks adenosine, and it increases levels of other neurotransmitters in your brain, like dopamine, that regulate your energy levels.” Adenosine is a chemical inside our brain that makes us feel sleepy.
