茶是一種具鎮靜及提神作用的飲料，飲用者遍佈世界各地，而總茶葉生產量預計在2027年會達到三百六十萬噸。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lkTqoiQmT

有不少研究指出飲用長期綠茶有延壽及抗鬱的作用，是否百分之百真確仍有一定的爭議，而本篇文章只會側重講及一項與飲茶相關的有趣研究結果。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA124lwXzJ

在講述研究結果之前，我們先行講及一下與茶葉有關的資訊。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFNqTJE1Vs
以淨重量作計算的話，茶葉總共有42%左右是一種名為Epigallocatechin gallate696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPyaFDQ3bd
(EGCG)的物質，而3%左右則為茶氨酸(L-Theanine)物質，兩者均能進入腦部裡頭，而其中之一的效果就是減低身體皮質醇(cortisol)含量，帶出鎮靜效果。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrd1PPFmKN
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSYOvWlMKI
概括來說，長期皮質醇偏高將會招來抑鬱症狀及肥胖的產生。若反應熱烈的話，可對皮質醇作另一篇深入淺出的文章。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm51lrPnlR
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr47VRxqif
茶葉亦有5%左右為咖啡因(Caffeine)，咖啡因當樣能進入腦部，有著阻截Adenosine與神經細胞某部位結合的效果，引致神經細胞持續運作，減低睡眠感。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqWwJNGWfp

（圖2）針對飲茶的研究多不勝數，不少亦有質量參差或帶有偏頗成份的研究。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOMmvsQfmi
而在一份相對上具有認受性的研究中(Ref1)，文章作者找來75名18-55歲無吸煙習慣的男人，強迫他們進行為期4星期戒茶、戒咖啡及戒含咖啡因的飲品的日子，藉此調節他們身體內的咖啡因含量。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuUiJMpG6y

696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJUN5LmAaW
4星期過後，他們將會分成兩組，在之後的6星期每日飲下與較早前4杯同色同味的飲料，一組為指定咖啡因份量的飲品，而另一組則為指定咖啡因份量及含有茶葉成份的飲料。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZsJTXg9oY

（圖3）6星期過後，受訪者將會進行兩項突擊壓力測試，過程中將會量度心跳及各項不同數據。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjCkEgrAgJ
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJHpf9Ob8P
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe1FmFJwcw
第一項壓力測試為3分鐘拍攝演講，受訪者將會隨機被派發高壓模擬情景題，例如面對失業或被指控店內偷竊等，他們有2分鐘準備的時間，之後便要對著攝錄機進行3分鐘的演講，記錄表現。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YdQEqfyYp
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCjzgpmw6n
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72hEWDL5Yo
（圖4）而第二項的測試為Mirror Tracing，如圖中一樣對著鏡子的方式畫星星。持續5分鐘。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmbu1XpZpz
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0n6xCiUAb
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FTxqIh76S
（圖5）是次研究中得出了不同數據，其中一項與皮質醇有關。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9796ALDY8
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeULWWisiJ
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIjIIdIs1z
他們發現飲茶者，口水皮質醇在高壓活動後50分鐘下跌73%左右，而沒有飲茶的組別則只下跌53%左右。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTjxxfy4hw
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgm54NfaoC
過往亦有不少研究指出飲茶能夠有助壓力過後的紓緩，以及對心情和認知方面起上一定的正面作用。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5ryT55Yk9
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZxvUPmGvB
但這正面效果究竟是茶裡的那一項或是數項成份所引致而成，內裡的相關確實機制又是如何，現今還尚未有一套能獲取較大共識的機制。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvQuNaIfZk
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR6tMaDwGU
無論如何，見字飲水，得閒飲茶。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0aWgPdkT8
