People in most countries of the world are becoming increasingly happy in recent years. It showed 25 – summer study at the University of Michigan / USA /, which included 97 countries and covering 90% of the population of our planet. The experts found that the index of happiness and general well-being has improved the vast majority of nations considered.

It turned out that Denmark – for the moment the happiest country, and Zimbabwe – the most miserable. Also in the top ten happiest nations entered the Swiss, Icelanders, the Dutch and Canadians. The United States took 16 – rank in the list after New Zealand. The recent increase in the index of subjective well-being and satisfaction with living conditions occurred in Ukraine, Russia, Moldova, Slovenia, Turkey and Nigeria.

Specialists of all people asked two questions: whether they are happy and satisfied with how their lives in general. So simple by researchers found that the happiness index increased over the past 17 years in 40 countries, but in dropped only 12. Psychologists have noticed that feeling of happiness is sustainable, stable and virtually no change over the life cycle, and events such as winning the lottery or serious illness, only lead to short-term changes in self happiness. It is anticipated that the increasing levels of happiness among many nations played a positive role unprecedented economic growth of low-income countries / such as India and China /, democratization of society in the countries of average income, social tolerance of various minorities and gender equality in developed countries. These factors gave people freedom of choice in life – one of the main criteria for achieving personal happiness, sociologists say.

Caffeine helps muscles absorb glucose and greatly increases the speed of recovery stocks glycogen in the muscles after heavy physical exertion. These findings came as a result of Australian researchers complicated experiment involving several professional athletes.

It is known that the use of caffeine and carbohydrates before and during training significantly increases strength and endurance athletes, but the authors of a new study for the first time been able to prove that the combination of these substances has also contributed to rebuild muscles after exercise.

The study, conducted by officers of several leading medical research centres of Australia, was attended by seven-marathon cyclists. At the preliminary stage experiment subject had to complete exhaustion seized on the bike, after which they offered dinner with a minimum content of carbohydrates. Thus scientists have achieved the maximum possible depletion of glycogen in the muscles of athletes.

The next day, exhausting training again, after which the participants divided into two groups. Both groups have proposed identical in color, smell and taste drinks with high content of glucose. In doing so, one of the drinks containing caffeine, and the second – no. Within four hours after the completion of studies at the athletes were taken several muscle biopsies and blood samples.

A few days later repeated the entire experiment first, but this time drinks with caffeine were those parties, which they lacked last time.

As the analysis of samples of muscle tissue and biochemical analysis of blood, the use of caffeine after training was associated with a significant increase in the speed of recovery stocks glycogen in the muscles – the main “fuel” of muscle tissue. Thus, after four hours after the completion of loads of glycogen in the muscles injecting caffeine participants was higher by 66%. In addition, the use of caffeine led to an increase in blood glucose levels of athletes, insulin, as well as several proteins taking part in moving glucose into muscle cells.

As the authors of the study, used in the experiment sufficiently high dosage caffeine, equivalent to five to six cups of strong coffee. In the next stage, scientists intend to assess the beneficial effect of more moderate concentrations of caffeine. Caffeine was removed from the list of banned substances the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) in 2004.
