When it comes to creatine,
many people may think of it as “a supplement for people who lift weights.”
Creatine is indeed known as a compound involved in energy production in the muscles, and it is very well known in the training world.
In recent years, however, its connection to the brain has been drawing more and more attention.
The human brain is said to be one of the most energy-hungry organs in the entire body.
In particular, when we are
• thinking continuously
• concentrating
• making decisions
• processing information
the brain uses a great deal of energy.
Creatine is thought to help support the energy supply within cells, and in recent years research has also been exploring its relationship with cognitive function.
In fact, some studies have reported findings that suggest effects on
• short-term memory
• cognitive processing
• mental fatigue
and other areas.
It is also said that the brain’s energy use tends to rise when we are short on sleep or very tired, and creatine sometimes attracts attention in those situations.
Of course, supplements alone cannot take care of everything.
Today, smartphones and computers keep the brain constantly processing information.
That is why it is important to create a state in which you can truly recover, including
• sleep
• nutrition
• exercise
• relaxation
and more.
At La HEAD, too,
we care for the head, neck and shoulders
while helping you reach a state where tension can naturally melt away.
Not only resting the body,
but also being mindful of resting the brain may be something we all need today.
