Is coffee actually healthy, can caffeine boost energy and performance, and how much is too much?
커피는 정말로 건강여 도움을 주어 카페인은 에너지와 활력을 불어 넣나요?
그렇다면 얼마나 많이 마셔야 지나치게 마시는 것인가요?
Coffee is a brewed drink prepared using roasted coffee beans which are taken from the berries of the Coffea plant. There are two main species of coffee beans which are the Arabica and Robusta, and depending on where they are grown, both the country and the altitude determines the flavour of the coffee.
커피는 코페아 나무에서 커피콩을 채취하여 구움으로써 양조된 음료입니다.
커피에는 어디에서 자랐느냐에 따라 아라비카와 로버스타의 두 가지 종류가 있는데 둘다 나라와 고도에 따라 커피의 맛이 결정됩니다.
For example, Brazilian coffee usually has more chocolate and spice flavour compared to Ethiopian coffee which has a stronger, sweet berry flavour.
예를 들면 브라질리언 커피는 더 초콜릿과 항신료 맛이 나는 것에비하여 에디오피언 커피는 더 강하고 단 딸기 맛을 가집니다.
There are two main factors that could be considered benefits to drinking coffee.
커피를 마실 때 이익을 주는 두 가지 요소가 있습니다.
The first is associated with its high antioxidant status. Antioxidants are important for health as they prevent our cells from being oxidised by toxins, chemicals and inflammation. The second is the stimulant caffeine, although this also presents potential risk factors if consumed in excessive amounts and for certain people who may be vulnerable to its effects (see below). Coffee, in addition, does contain some B vitamins, magnesium and potassium.
첫째는 항산화 요소와 관련이 있습니다. 항산화 물질은 우리 몸의 세포가 톡신에 의해 화학적 물질과 염증으로 산화되는 것을 막아줌으로써 건강을 유지하는데 중요합니다.
☕Can coffee help you live longer?
커피는 수명을 연장시키는데 도움이 될까요?
Recent research published in the Annals of Internal Medicine suggests that having three cups of coffee per day could lengthen lifespan by lowering the risk of death from several key conditions including heart disease.
Annals of Internal Medicine 라는 연차 보고서의 최근 조사에 의하면, 하를 석 잔의 커피는 심장병을 포함한 여러 가지 주요 상태에서 사망의 위험을 낮추어 삶을 연장시킬 수 있다고 합니다.
The study followed over 500,000 people from 10 European countries for over 16 years. However, critics say that the study could not take into account every circumstance, such as economic, social and other lifestyle factors, that could have contributed to their findings. They also excluded participants with some pre-existing conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, or stroke before beginning the study.
이 연구는 16년에 걸쳐 유럽의 10개 나라 50만 명을 대상으로 내놓은 결과입니다.
그러나 이 연구는 경제적, 사회적 밓 다른 생활 방식과 같은 것들을 고려하지 않았다는 비평이 있습니다.
연구 참가자들은 열구를 실시하기 전에 당뇨병, 심장병, 심장 발작 같은 몇 가지 이미 가지고 있는 상태라고 합니다.
☕ Can coffee increase energy and performance?
커시가 에너지와 활력을 불어넣을 수 있나요?
Coffee can help some people to feel less tired and increase energy levels thanks to its caffeine content. When coffee is consumed, it is absorbed into the bloodstream and travels to the brain where it ‘fires up’ certain neurons that can lead to improved memory, mood, energy and cognitive function if consumed in moderation.
커피는 카페인 성분 때문에 덜 피로해지고 에너지 수준을 높이는데 도움을 줍니다. 커피는 적당히 마셔 소화되면 혈관으로 들어가 기억, 감정, 에너지에 긍정적인 영향을 줍니다.
☕ Can coffee boost metabolism?
커피는 신진대사를 촉진시키나요?
Initial research suggests that caffeine may moderately boost your metabolic rate and that it may help the body to burn fat, both during activity and when resting. Researchers have speculated, therefore, that caffeine could show promise in the treatment of obesity. However, more research is required before this could be made as a valid health claim.
초기 연구에서 카페인은 신진대사 비율을 적절하게 조절해 준다고 제시했고 움직이거나 휴식을 취할 때 둘다 지방을 태우는데 도움을 줍니다.
따라서 연구자들은 비만을 조절할 가능성을 보여준다고 했습니다.
☕ Can coffee help protect against diabetes?
커피는 당뇨병을 예방하는데 도움이 되나요?
There is some evidence to suggest that coffee may lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, although more research in this area is required. In response to a separate study on coffee and diabetes, the NHS points out that proven methods of reducing your risk include maintaining a healthy weight, eating a varied and balanced diet, and exercising regularly.
커피는 비록 이 분야에 더 연구가 있어야겠지만 제2형 당뇨병의 진전을 더 낮추어주는 약간의 증거가 있습니다.
☕ Are there any risks in drinking coffee & how much is too much?
커피를 마셔서 어떤 위험이 있나요? 그리고 얼마나 많이 마셔야 지나치게 마시는 것인가요?
The NHS currently do not set limits for coffee consumption for most people, but they do advise pregnant women to limit their caffeine intake to 200mg per day.
NHS는 현재 대부분의 사람들의 커피 소비량을 제한하고 있지는 않지만 임산부는 하루에 200mg만 섭취하도록 권고하고 있습니다.
Caffeine is a stimulant and everyone reacts differently to it. Caffeine can act as a diuretic which can cause the body to produce urine more quickly. People who are more sensitive to caffeine or who drink a lot of caffeinated drinks sometimes report dizziness, tremors and insomnia as side effects. If you are concerned about your caffeine intake you should speak to your doctor or GP.
카페인은 자극적이나 모두에게 다르게 반응합니다. 이뇨제처럼 몸에서 소변을 빨리 배출하도록 합니다. 카페인에 민감한 사람이나 카페인이 들어간 음료를 많이 마시면 때때로 어지러움, 전율,불면증 같은 부작용도 있습니다. 만약 섭취하는 카페인에 대하여 걱정이 된다면 의사나 GP(general practitioner: 전문의사)에게 말하세요.
It is also worth bearing in mind that many coffee-based drinks contain added milk, sugar, artificial sweeteners or flavoured syrups, and these extras can add a significant chunk of calories, fat and sugar to your diet.
☕ Do different varieties make a difference nutritionally?
Coffee comes in different forms: whole beans, ground coffee and freeze-dried. Whole beans and ground coffee are best kept dry and in an airtight container away from light, heat and moisture to maintain freshness and they usually last up to 6 months. Freeze-dried (instant) coffee on the other hand can be kept a lot longer and you should look at the individual jars or containers for their use-by date.
Nutritionally speaking organic black, fresh (beans or ground) coffee is best as it is higher in antioxidants. Some research suggests that dark roast blends have higher antioxidant levels than light or medium roast blends.
