COFFEE AND TEACHERS
COFFEE AND TEACHERS
A teacher’s day starts early. There isn’t a lot of
time to ease into the morning
before school starts. But even if you only have a few
minutes, for most of
them,
the days
don't start until they have a cup of coffee. The awakening of the mind
from that
first morning coffee is part of our routine and, generally, we tend to
bless that
effect. And it is that apart from the pleasure that its flavor gives us,
coffee has
a very specific function: to activate or reactivate us.
According to the European Food Safety Authority, there is a cause-and-effect relationship between caffeine intake and improved attention and alertness levelsin short-duration, high-intensity activities. Several studies have concluded that, in controlled doses, it stimulates mental performance, and also helps us to be moreawake in situations of lack of sleep, such as when driving at night or carrying out night work.
What does coffee produce for
us? Why do we drink it? How did it go from being
the drink of some sects in the
15th century that was forbidden to being one of
the most popular in the 21st
century, which is why it represents a global trade of
enormous importance, employing
125 million people in the world? Caffeine
counts as a good reason - it
is probably the psychoactive substance most
consumed across different
countries, cultures and times - but coffee has a
dimension that goes beyond
agriculture and import-export, which includes society
to culture through chemistry
and politics.
A widely commented and widespread legend about the origin of coffee is that of ashepherd from Ethiopia, named Kaldi, who observed the invigorating effect of small red bush fruits on the goats that had consumed it in the mountains, a proven effect by himself by renewing his energies. Caffeine has positive and negative consequences, which prompts us to take advantage of it when necessary, without disorderly or compulsively abusing it or thinking of it as if it were a medicine. And if at some point we do, we already know: the best solution is always to nip it in the bud, forgetting for a while to prevent the dreaded side effects from appearing. And you,
what’s your favorite drink in the morning?
Hi Isela, very interesting what you review, you know I love coffee, at some time I consumed a lot and notice that I started to stress, so I leave it for a while, now I only take the classic when I have a lot of work because it keeps me awake. I take the decaffeinated only occasionally. There are people who drink coffee with a very strong flavor and at any time and it does not affect them, but for me the key is the number of cups, but it doesn´t matter I love coffee.
ReplyDeleteHello dear friend,
ReplyDeleteYou know as you said I’m also a caffeine lover I love drinking coffee, but lately not necessary in the morning, you know before the pandemic and maybe some days I drink my morning tee followed by a coffee, but that is just the beginning later on the day I like to drink my expresso generally because I am tired and I need to keep working.
Nowadays I wake up early in the morning to teach my 7 am class I just, generally wash my face and my teeth and keep on when I finish my morning classes I and tired and because I need to keep on because I have classes until 4 pm, and then take care of all of my homework and study and generally I need my doses of caffeine.
So I think it is amazing everything that you found about coffee, and I just rea a post from a friend that said that we love the drug that makes us better workers meaning we embrace not being able to rest enough and work long hours.
hello Ise! How interesting what you published, I didn't know, I really like coffee, on occasions for health reasons I have had to leave it for some time but I miss it a lot !! My mornings without coffee are not the same but I understand that abuse harms health, it's a guilty pleasure hahahaha
