Listening/Speech Training: The Benefits of Coffee & Green Tea 14:59

2M ago14:59

14:59

The Benefits of Drinking Coffee 大部分人喝咖啡是为了让自己保持精力旺盛。但其实，有些人喝咖啡是为了健身能有更好的效果。不少健身的人每天会喝多杯咖啡。这是因为咖啡因可以提高人体无氧运动的能力，可以让身体更快速进入运动状态。这种改变对普通人而言可能作用不大，但对于健身狂热者而言，喝咖啡可以让他们的健身效率大大提高。不过，除了健身的人，医生不建议普通人为了其他的目的尝试一天内喝多杯咖啡。人体消耗咖啡因的速度有限。普通人喝一杯咖啡摄入的咖啡因大概率到第二天早上还没有被消耗掉。 Dà bùfèn rén hēkāfēi shì wèile ràng zìjǐ bǎochí jīnglì wàngshèng.
