Stimulants don't cure ADHD. What they do is help to alleviate or reduce symptoms while the stimulant is active in your system. Taking stimulants isn't like taking an antibiotic to cure an infection, it's like wearing glasses so you can see, though the glasses don't cure your vision problems. Sources: Cleveland Clinic.
Glucose is the Primary Source of Energy for Cells. Glucose is the human body's key source of energy as it provides energy to all the cells in our body. Glucose also is critical in the production of proteins, lipid metabolism and is a precursor for vitamin C production. Glucose is the sole source of fuel to create energy for all brain and red blood cells. The availability of glucose influences many psychological processes. When glucose levels are low, psychological processes requiring mental effort l(self-control, critical thinking and decision-making) become impaired.
Several origins have been suggested for the idea that alcohol kills brain cells. Some link it to the temperance movement, which called for prohibition of alcohol. (1, 2). Another potential source of the idea is research into the number of brain cells of alcoholics and non-alcoholics.In 1990, Harper and Krill found that alcoholics had fewer brain cells than non-alcoholics. Consequently, some people began to think that alcohol causes the killing of brain cells.6). According to Dr Petney, however, this damage is not permanent; yet it can cause changes in neuronal structure. Dr Petney also stresses that losing entire brain cells isnât necessary to disrupt brain function. In fact, brain cell damage will also have a disrupting effect.
