iHeath News: Higher Blood Caffeine Levels Linked to Lower Obesity and Joint Disease Risk

Higher Blood Caffeine Levels Linked to Lower Obesity and Joint Disease Risk

A recent study conducted by researchers from Imperial College London and the University of Copenhagen has found that high levels of plasma caffeine (circulating caffeine in the blood) over a long time may help protect against obesity and joint disease. The study confirmed prior evidence of a protective effect of plasma caffeine on obesity risk, and found that long-term increases in circulating caffeine may lower body weight and reduce the risk of osteoarthritis.

伦敦帝国理工学院和哥本哈根大学的研究人员最近进行的一项研究发现,长时间内高水平的血浆咖啡因(血液中循环的咖啡因)有助于预防肥胖和关节疾病。该研究证实了先前有关血浆咖啡因对肥胖风险具有保护作用这一观点,并发现长期增加血液中循环咖啡因可减轻体重并减少骨关节炎的风险。

An Espresso a Day Keeps the Doctor Away
The aggregation of tau protein is thought to play a crucial role in the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. A study conducted by researchers at University of Verona in Italy explored espresso compounds such as caffeine, trigonelline, genistein, and theobromine to determine their impact on tau protein aggregation. The experiments showed that the espresso extract, as well as caffeine and genistein individually, prevented tau protein aggregation. Although further research is needed, these findings may open up possibilities for developing bioactive compounds that could help protect the brain.

每天一杯濃縮咖啡,讓醫生遠離你
大腦內tau蛋白的聚集被認為是造成阿茲海默症發病的關鍵因素。義大利維羅納大學的研究人員進行了一項研究,探討了濃縮咖啡中的化合物,如:咖啡因、葫蘆巴鹼、染料木黃酮和可可鹼,以確定它們對tau蛋白聚集所帶來的影響。實驗顯示,濃縮咖啡萃取物、咖啡因和染料木黃酮,分別都可以防止tau蛋白的聚集。儘管仍需要進一步的研究,但這項發現可能為開發能保護大腦的生物活性化合物開闢新的可能性。

Do you avoid caffeine like the plaque?


Here’s a fun fact:
Plenty of foods and drinks contain caffeine, some of which might surprise you. This may include chocolate, ice cream (coffee and mocha flavored), cereal (cocoa flavored), cookies, hot chocolate powder, cocoa powder, energy drinks, and sodas.

Even if you choose decaffeinated coffee or decaffeinated tea, take note that it may still contain caffeine but in very small quantities. Shunning all foods and drinks that contain caffeine may be a bit misguided. Instead of judging food by one component, we need to look at it as a whole.

If you can tolerate or enjoy the effects of caffeine, then there is no need to avoid it! In fact, drinks such as coffee and tea not only taste great, they can benefit your health too! Coffee and tea both bring tons of health benefits, so there is no need to avoid them just because of caffeine.

一个有趣的事实:
许多食物和饮料中都含有咖啡因,其中一些可能会让您大吃一惊。这可能包括巧克力、冰淇淋(咖啡和摩卡口味)、麦片(可可口味)、饼干、热巧克力粉、可可粉、能量饮料和苏打水。

即使您选择不含咖啡因的咖啡或不含咖啡因的茶,也要注意它们可能仍含有咖啡因(含量极低)。回避掉一切含有咖啡因的食物和饮料可能有点矫枉过正,我们需要从整体上看待食物,而不是仅凭其中一个组成部分判断。

如果您本身对咖啡因耐受,甚至享受它带来的好处,那么就没有必要避之不及!事实上,咖啡和茶等饮料不仅味道好,对您的健康也有益处!咖啡和茶对健康好处多多,没有必要因为其中含有咖啡因就对其退避三舍。
