咖啡因,你知道多少?

Coffee-lovers and/or ladies, read this one

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。

Rocket & Leng-Chai Astronaut!

Now that the sky turned RED, my little leng-chai-as-tro-nut son Matthew can't wait to take-off the Rocket. And he started to begging and nagging me to fly him to the sky in this new Rocket. I told him I can not do anything because the Captain post already taken up by Lim Guan Eng No more vacancy!

But Leng-chai never give up and keep on begging me so how? Kedah, Kelantan and Selangor are definitely out of question. How about Perak? In Perak also very susah to squeeze in leh, already got 3 candidates there.... unless we can convice Sultan for another candidate

How lah?.....

Just when I am about to give Guan Eng a call for help, my brother Philip who is a Penangite, came to my rescue. Syabas Penangites!

Majulah Pulau Pinang (?)

Stay Calm we will definitely be, but can Guan Eng the incoming CM, turn Penang into Singapore, I think he will....all he need to do is to open up the "Sky" and the "Sea". Though the "Sky" turned RED, the sea still remains blue, Guan Eng should avoid rea-sea but embrace "Blue Ocean Strategy". Paint the sky as red as you wish, but let the sea stay blue.....follow S'pore model minus Kiasuism. Haha!

Syabas DAP!

An Open Letter - Appeal for a better Parliament

Dear Fellow Malaysians,

It is true that there are things that we Malaysians should be proud of, and be thankful for. It is equally true that many things are not well in our country. They have not been well for some time now. Matters of safety and security, price hikes, education, issues of equal opportunities and equal treatment, constriction of various forms of freedom, marginalisation of several segments of society, the failing justice system, corruption in the public sector, the rising denial syndromes, the arrogance of wrongdoers nourished by their repeated ability to get off scot-free, and the numbness of the public reaction towards misdeeds and the lack of accountability, just to describe a few.

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.

Can things be allowed to go on this way? Can we afford to do so? Should our future generations suffer the consequences of our permissiveness?

It is quite obvious that we need a better Government and a better Parliament.

But that will not happen if we, the citizens of
Malaysia, do little more than blaming the Government and criticizing our Members of Parliament. It is we who put our MPs in the Parliament. It is we who must take the ultimate responsibility. The buck stops at each and every one of us.

My earnest appeal to everyone is therefore as follows:

(i) discuss the need for a better Parliament and a better Government, with your family members, colleagues, friends and persons close to you;

(ii) make it a point to go and vote in the next election, and to vote for change and for betterment;

(iii) discard the notion or excuse that your single vote will not matter;

(iv) discard the notion or excuse that politics is dirty and all politicians are the same, and therefore that there is no point in voting;

(v) influence and encourage as many of your family members, colleagues, friends and persons close to you as possible, to come out and vote for change and for betterment in the coming election.

It is meaningless for us to complain about our Parliamentarians and the Government, if we do not first discharge a simple but sacrosanct duty of choice.

Let us all take the time to look into the beautiful but expectant eyes of our children, and of the children of many others for whom we care. The future of our nation is meant for them. But millions of them cannot vote. They put their fate in our hands. They rely on us not just for their present living and support. They rely on us, too, to vote for a better future for them.

And after discharging our duty to vote, we must continue to be vigilant, and ensure that our elected representatives account for their actions, and make good their promises.

I humbly suggest to you that change and betterment are not empty dreams, if all of us play our respective parts. I invite you, and I urge you, to answer my appeal as set out above.

Thank you.

Yours sincerely,

Yeo Yang Poh

& a concerned Malaysian
