咖啡因,你知道多少?
上班、開會、聊天、提神,生活上你已離不開咖啡。 但何時喝、如何喝、喝多少,你是否知道?
作者:李瑟 出處:天下雜誌
「我們約個時間喝咖啡」,已成為每天生活的一部分,可能是上司與部屬談績效、各行業交換情報或溝通情誼,也可能是男女想進一步認識對方展開羅曼史。
即使目前最先進的即時線上交談軟體Jabber,設計軟體程式的專家個個又炫又酷,卻仍使用「咖啡壺」做為功能圖象(icon)放在網頁上,提醒他們:有人要進來交談了。
另一方面,大部分人都有經驗,有時需要喝咖啡來提振一下精神,尤其下午三、四點會議昏昏欲睡,或早上五點起床趕報告時,一杯熱騰騰的咖啡下肚,立刻清醒。
咖啡因是世界上最被廣泛使用的、對心理或精神有影響的物質,全球一年消耗十二萬噸的咖啡因,相當於全球六十億人口每天都喝一杯含咖啡因飲料。而茶的消耗則僅次於水。其他含咖啡因的食物如巧克力與可樂,也常跟歡樂畫等號。
有助減肥嗎?
不過,這些東西長期大量飲用也會有副作用。何時、如何、喝多少才好,現代人最好多知道些。
一杯咖啡通常含有一百毫克的咖啡因;茶的咖啡因較少,約五十毫克左右。咖啡因進入人體後,立即被消化道內的血液吸收,促進一○%的新陳代謝,加速體內熱量燃燒,女人新陳代謝咖啡的速度還比男人快二到三成,所以有人認為有助減肥。
它也輕微刺激我們的中樞神經系統。的確有研究發現,咖啡因使心智敏銳,有利需要反應快的工作,例如在一大堆信件中,找出一封你要的信,但無助於需要精密思考的工作。
而且劑量多寡也有別。喝少了,得不到清醒的效果;喝多了,會變得樂天知命,缺乏問題意識。
咖啡因不會使人上癮,但會變成習慣,常喝咖啡的人變成要加量才能提神。而如果突然停喝,有些人會頭痛、沒精打采、想睡覺。
小孩或體型較小的人,會比大人或較高較重的人,容易感覺不對勁,例如輕微發抖,因為大腦神經系統被刺激得過於活躍。
咖啡因的不良影響,首先是生育,使男性精子品質較差、女性較不易懷孕;即使懷孕,胎兒易早產。另有研究顯示,懷孕期間還每天喝兩三杯,胎兒出生時可能體重不足。所以很多醫生建議準媽媽們停用咖啡、茶、可樂與可可。
另一方面,咖啡因到了腦內,會壓縮大腦血管。如果你習慣一天喝很多杯咖啡,有天突然點滴不沾,那些大腦血管會擴張,讓你頭痛。
避免打亂生理時鐘
睡前六小時,請約束自己不碰含咖啡因的食物,以免夜裡難眠。
事實上,愈晚喝咖啡,愈會把體內天然的睡眠清醒循環裝置消除,造成身體功能與內分泌無法同步。也就是說,一部分的你睡著了,但另一部分是醒著的,結果變成你睡既睡不飽,醒後又昏沈,整天顛三倒四。
多少咖啡因是安全的?關鍵在「適量」,一天不超過三杯。但健康狀況各人不同,應與醫生問清楚,並且不要一下子喝很多咖啡,以免血壓升高、胃酸增加,造成胃痛或拉肚子。
咖啡因是種利尿劑,使你喝了咖啡或茶之後,上廁所次數增加,如果一天三杯以上,可能使體內的礦物質流失,如鈣與碘。
每天都喝的人,若突然有天不喝,可能會出現頭痛、脾氣暴躁、頭昏虛弱等現象。解決之道只有趕快喝吧,不過,分量一半就好。
如何減少攝取咖啡因?
◆ 慢慢減少,一天少喝一杯,而不是突然完全不碰。
◆ 一天喝三杯以下,或用植物茶、低咖啡因咖啡、西打來取代。
◆ 保持活動:跑步、健走、騎腳踏車、游泳、瑜珈。
◆ 定時定量健康飲食
◆ 不抽煙
◆ 請同事、親友不要邀你「來杯咖啡吧」
咖啡可以醒酒嗎?
濃咖啡可「醒酒」的說法,流傳於企業界,不少人也企圖用這種方法通過呼氣測醉器。
很不幸,這是關於咖啡因最大的迷思。
咖啡因可以戮破使你麻木的酒味,讓你感覺稍敏銳點,卻無助你清醒,它使血中酒精濃度降低的功效,可能還不如一杯水。
不過,咖啡因卻是宿醉醒來後的好朋友,因為它壓縮酒後擴張的血管,減輕頭痛與沮喪。

An Open Letter - Appeal for a better Parliament |

Dear Fellow Malaysians, Many of the ills that we complain about in our society are the symptoms of the underlying causes. Some of the major root causes are: (a) epidemic corruption in a system that does little to prohibit or redress it, (b) lack of a system of transparency and accountability, (c) the suppression of various freedoms so as to turn a silent majority into a silenced majority, (d) a Government that is more interested in commanding than serving, (e) a Parliament whose overwhelming majority cares more about power-consolidation than nation-building, and (f) a weak “last bastion” in the form of a failing justice system. |
