Naene sanoi:
Möö. Mulla on keskushermosto jo aivan liian vilkas, kofeiini ei tee hyvää sillä kofeiinin jälkeen en pystyisi aina edes kotoa poistumaan.
Olisikohan mitään muuta vastaavaa ainetta joka tekisi saman joka olisi decaf? Olisihan tuosta kiva hyötyä :P
Vihreä tee! Mä olen siirtynyt siihen. Kofeiinia on reilusti vähemmän, ja lisäetuja sitä enemmän.
"The plant Camellia sinensis has been the subject of many investigations on the positive health benefits of tea. It has been shown that the daily consumption of tea may be involved in the prevention of coronary heart disease, artherosclerosis, and some cancers. These health benefits of tea are presumed to be related to the antioxidant effects of its components, namely, its polyphenolic tannins and catechins. These phytochemicals are in highest concentrations in green tea as opposed to other types. Although black tea contains a number of polyphenols as well (i.e. theaflavine gallate, digallate, etc.), the effects of these compounds are not well researched. The phytochemicals in green tea appear to stabilize cell membranes in the presence of carcinogen related free radicals.
Although green tea is not recognized as medicinal within the medical community, there are anecdotal reports of its benefits in the relief of headache, diarrhea, and stomach upset.
Some recent research has shown green tea to be thermogenic to a greater extent than would be expected from its caffeine content alone. Usually, for the antioxidant benefits, 3 cups or more per day are recommended. "

"3) When consumed with a standard carbohydrate breakfast, caffeine decreases insulin sensitivity, leading to large increases in blood insulin. But even in the face of this insulin surge, blood glucose doesn't disappear at a normal rate. When the body can't take up carbohydrates properly (as when drinking coffee), it releases loads of insulin to help out. However, the coffee actually prevents the insulin from doing this job and you end up with high insulin and glucose. That, my friends, is the serum profile of the obese, type II diabetic."
