喝茶也會醉？ Becoming Tea Drunk
NOV. 11,2024 / Analytical Editors

  The phenomenon of being “tea drunk” is a unique experience often associated with this popular beverage, especially when consuming brews that are particularly high-quality or strong. Unlike being drunk on alcohol, the effects of tea drunkenness stem from various compounds found in tea leaves. These include, but are not limited to, caffeine, theanine, and catechins. These substances can have a synergistic effect on the brain, resulting in a state of euphoria, relaxation, or heightened sensory awareness.
  「茶醉」現象通常是與這種流行飲品相關的獨特體驗，在飲用特別高品質或濃烈的茶時尤為明顯。與酒醉不同，茶醉的效應源於茶葉中所見的各種化合物。這些化合物包括（但不僅限於）咖啡因、茶胺酸和兒茶素。這些物質在大腦中可以產生協同效應，導致一種亢奮、放鬆或感官覺醒增強的狀態。

Of all the different kinds of plant-based milk, soy milk is closest to milk. It has almost as much protein as milk and is high in vitamins.
   雖然燕麥奶現正蔚為風潮，但還有其他任何人可以嘗試的牛奶替代品。它們由各種植物、堅果、種子和穀物製成，每一種都提供不同的風味和健康益處。
   杏仁奶是許多人的首選。它的口感輕盈而濃郁，熱量與脂肪含量較牛奶少。然而，它的蛋白質含量少。在所有不同的植物奶種類中，豆漿最接近牛奶。它的蛋白質含量幾乎與牛奶一樣多，且富含維生素。儘管有這些好處，它可能有一種會令一些人感到不悅的濃烈味道。 ....
