Caffeine – good for the brain??? Think again!咖啡因對腦有好處????? 非也！
During
my training I keep reminding people to cut down on their caffeine. Most people are not aware of how
caffeine hurts the brain.
在我培訓時我不斷提醒人們，要降低他們的咖啡因。大多數人不知道如何咖啡因如何會損害他們的腦。
According to a study by Durham University, those who drink an equivalent of 7 cups of coffee per day are 3 times more likely to have hallucination that those who drink less than one cup per day.
據英國達勒姆大學的研究，比較那些每天喝不到1杯，那些每天喝相當於7杯咖啡的人，他們有3賠機會患上幻覺。
In the study “caffeine” includes coffee, tea, energy drinks, chocolate bars, caffeine tablets. Those with a high caffeine intake reported seeing things that were not there, hearing voices, sensing presence of dead people etc.
該研究的“咖啡因”包括咖啡，茶，能量飲料，巧克力，咖啡因藥片。那些攝入高咖啡因的人他們的幻覺包括：看到不存在的東西，幻聽，遙感死人的存在等。
The study also found that caffeine tends to “exacerbate the physiological effects of stress.” When under stress, the hormone cortisol is released and when there is too much of that hormone, scientists feel this has a link to hallucination.
研究還發現，咖啡因往往“加劇壓力的生理影響 。 ” 當人受壓時，腦會釋放皮質醇激素 ，科學家認為太多的皮質醇激素與幻覺有關連.
There is a trend that worries me sometimes – the increase in people
drinking coffee. This increase
must be because some companies are doing really good in marketing.
有一種趨勢，讓我擔心的是喝咖啡的增加。我說這必須是因為一些公司做很好的營銷工作。這種增加是因為一些公司在他們的市場推銷做的非常出色。
According to a report by BBC, the global consumption is estimated to be
120,000 tons! That’s a lot of
coffee.
據英國廣播公司，在全球消量估計為120,000噸！這是很多杯很咖啡。
But does coffee really help us to be sharper, smarter and stay
focused? If you believe this you
may want to think again.
但咖啡真的幫助我們清晰的，聰明和專注嗎？如果您認是，您可能要重新考慮一下。
In the BBC report, two individuals went on a 7 day experiment. These two individuals were given
de-caf and caffeine drinks, though they themselves don’t know which is which.
在英國廣播公司的報導，兩個人開始了長達7天的實驗。這兩個人一個喝 去咖啡 （de-caf )的飲料，另外一個喝咖啡因的飲料，但他們自己哪個是咖啡或去咖啡 （de-caf )的飲料。
After one week, guess what.
The individual drinking decaf had reduced blood pressure, reduced
anxiety and sleep better.
1週後，你們猜猜結果是怎樣。喝去咖啡因（de-caf )飲料的那一位，他的血壓降低，焦慮減少，睡眠更好。
And this is what affects a person’s ability to think faster, concentrate
better and feel happier!
事實上，這就影響到一個人的思維能力更快，集中力更強 和更快樂！
Why do people drink coffee?
I could think of a few reasons:
their brains are under-nourished; they are addicted; they feel it’s
trendy!
為什麼人們喝咖啡？我想到幾個原因：他們的腦部營養不良;他們上癮;他們覺得這是時尚！
So what can you do? how
about feeding the brain what it needs – glucose, water, regular meal, regular
sleep!
因此，你能做什麼呢？ 不如餵養腦部它需要的營：果糖，水，定時飲食，定時睡眠。
So what can you do? how
about feeding the brain what it needs – glucose, water, nutrition.
I have seen people cut caffeine cold – they substitute it with fruits,
nuts, vegetables, regular meals, exercise, and yes, having fun in life!
我過見人一下子就戒咖啡因。他們用水果，乾果，蔬菜，正常飲食，運動，是的，快樂的生活取代它！
So the next time you find yourself caffeine dependent, go get a
fruit! What you need is glucose
and not caffeine! Try this!
下一次當您發現自己依賴咖啡因時，去吃個水果！你需要的是葡萄糖，而不是咖啡因！試試吧！
