Adding tasty supplement to your coffee ‘boosts brain performance’, says neuroscientist
You can make your morning coffee extra tasty with “one of the healthiest” supplements, which is also said to promote brain health.
Most people can’t imagine going about their day without coffee and a lot of them prefer non-dairy alternatives to add to it. That’s why Starbucks has stopped charging extra for alternative milk, thus reducing the cost of each drink by more than 10%.
Tasty supplement in coffee boosts brain health
If you prefer adding a non-dairy alternative to your coffee, Dr. Robert Love recommends switching to a tasty supplement that makes you “think better.”
He personally uses MCT oil made from coconut, which is great for your brain and body. The healthy supplement also enhances the taste of coffee.
Consuming three tablespoons of MCT oil daily is believed to improve brain performance. The supplement is “turned into ketone bodies” by the liver, which provides energy to your brain in addition to other health benefits.

Consuming coffee on an empty stomach can cause unpleasant symptoms such as insomnia, nervousness, restlessness, nausea, and increased heart rate.
However, Dr. Robert says you can drink coffee while fasting by including MCT oil or MCT oil power in it.
Common mistakes to avoid while preparing coffee
Although a moderate amount of coffee is said to have health benefits, some common mistakes people repeatedly make while preparing can negatively impact the brain.
According to Dr. Robert, coffee is the second on the list of crops grown with the most pesticides. So, he strictly recommends using organic coffee that’s Light Roast with more antioxidants.
Espresso and French Press are the most commonly used methods to prepare the popular beverage. But the neuroscientist suggests brewing it with the drip method as it’s more effective than the others.
Dr. Robert Love is a neuroscientist, researcher, and educator, who specializes in helping people prevent Alzheimers disease with science. He leads a research team investigating a new FDA drug to help reverse Alzheimers and other forms of dementia.
