Feeling heartburn when drinking coffee, what causes?

Clinical nutritionist from Mochtar Riady Comprehensive Cancer Centre (MRCCC) Siloam Hospital, South Jakarta, Dr Inge Permadhi, SpGK explains that the cause of heartburn arises from the content of Caffein or caffeine.

 "Coffee with the content of active substances Caffein, can cause heartburn, because of the stimulation effect of the coffee against the gastrointestinal tract, " said the Doctor Inge

According to him, in some cases, people who have a sensitivity to caffeine can add a sense of heartburn.

Inge's doctor revealed, one way to reduce the flavor of heartburn, if you want to consume coffee, can reduce the amount of coffee that you want to consume.

 "Maybe by reducing jumlahya yes, but for me, few or more, consuming coffee makes my stomach always also become uncomfortable. Except the coffee is only aroma yes,  "he said again.

A powerful way
Meanwhile, the powerful way that is assessed to eliminate heartburn, ie not to consume coffee at the moment does not want to suddenly feel heartburn.

For example, when you are attending a seminar or other important event, where a sense of heartburn will greatly interfere with concentration and pleasure.

Related to caffeine content in coffee, the Doctor Inge explained there are a number of useful caffeine benefits for the body.

 "Caffein among them can accelerate the movement of the intestine (gastrointestinal tract), increase metabolism, so many of its roles are to refresh (not sleepy), eliminate headaches and also worn in people who want to lose weight, " explained Inge.

It is explained that caffeine is the most commonly used stimulant and drug in the world. Every day, millions of people consume it to increase alertness, reduce fatigue, and increase concentration and focus.

Amid myths and controversies about whether caffeine is good or bad for us, evidence suggests that moderate coffee consumption can bring benefits and risks.

However, high caffeine consumption may not be healthy.

In addition, in today's emerging trends adding caffeine to beverages and snacks that do not naturally contain caffeine have raised new worries.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers it, caffeine as a drug and dietary additives. They recommend a maximum intake of 400 mg daily.

In prescription and free drugs (OTC), caffeine is used to treat fatigue and drowsiness, and to enhance the effects of some pain relievers.

It has a group of drugs called Central nervous system stimulants (CNS).

Meanwhile, foods that contain caffeine can help restore mental alertness.

Things to note
Use of caffeine as a relief aid only occasionally. It is not intended to replace bedtime and should not be used regularly for the purpose of "overstaying".

In the United States (US), more than 90 percent of adults use caffeine regularly, with an average consumption of more than 200 milligrams of caffeine per day.

This action obviously gives caffeine more than two cups of coffee 6 ounces or five cans of soft drink 12 ounces.

Although some foods and drinks contain caffeine, but excessive consumption of caffeine or exceeding the suggested recommended limit will pose a risk.

A total of 75 mg of caffeine may increase attention and alertness, and dosages of 160 to 600 mg can increase mental alertness, speed of thought, and memory.

However, caffeine is not a substitute for sleep.

Civilization of the past on the Earth Sawahlunto

Sawahlunto is like having a passage of time.
Visiting Sawahlunto seemed back to the early 20th century.

The traces of one of the cities in the Minangkabau Highlands began in 1858 when Ir. C. De Groot van Embden did research on coal in Sawahlunto.
The research was settled by Ir. Willem Hendrik de Greve, a messenger of the Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies in 1867.

In the study it was revealed that in one part of the Stone River Ombilin contain coal as much as 200 million tonnes. The colonial government immediately decided to make the area a separate city, named Sawahlunto.
Coal production began in 1892.

The Dutch colonial government built all facilities in the new city, ranging from government offices, residential workers, to luxury hotels.
No doubt if the current Sawahlunto is known as the Old City in West Sumatra.

The foot of Sawahlunto means that we have to take a break to the end of the 19th century to the early 20th century in some of these historic buildings.


- The Mbah Soero hole

Arguably, this is the most popular place as a tourist destination in Sawahlunto. Because, in addition to the strong nuances of mining history in the colonial period, the Mbah Soero hole is also strong in mystical stories.

Mbah Soero Hole is the first coal mine opened by the Dutch in the Ombilin stone area. This hole was newly explored for the tour activity in 2007 years ago.


- Hotel Ombilin

In its day, this hotel is the only luxury hotel in Sawahlunto.
The Ombilin Hotel was built to be the home of Dutch mining experts.
Until now the hotel still operates by retaining the main building as the original.


- Silo Sawahlunto

In addition to visiting the Coal mining center in Batu Ombilin, we are obliged to stop by this coal silo.
This Silo has three super large storage tubes.
In addition to the giant silos, we will also find a steam train that was used to transport coal.


- Goedang Ransoem Museum

Besides silos, we should also visit this museum one.
This building actually has a simple function, which is to provide food for the mine workers.
What makes it unique is about the ability of this warehouse in providing food for hundreds of mine workers.


- Railway Museum

In addition to opening the city of Sawahlunto as a mining town, the Netherlands also built a railway line to the city of Padang.
This Museum is once a train station that will go to Padang.

In this museum we can also meet Mak Itam, the oldest locomotive with the number E1060.
This locomotive has become one of the icons of Sawahlunto.

Conditions in the three traditional markets in Bukittinggi, West Sumatera, namely Pasar Ateh, market slope, and market bottom are very dense by traders.

Merchants are increasingly in the presence of temporary markets, where Ateh market merchants sell while at the building where they sell is built.
No doubt, Los Lambuang is a spring in the wilderness.

Los Lambuang itself if interpreted literally means "hallway of the stomach".
For residents around Bukittinggi, this stall is the place to fill the stomach when hungry.
Simply put, Los Lambuang is a hawker centre in the three markets.

It is unclear exactly when Los Lambuang stands.
However, the average trader in this place is the second generation, even some of them are the grandsons of the first selling merchant.
So, if Dikira-kira Los Lambuang has stood more than 20 years ago.

Do not hope we can find modern foods such as fried chicken flour, grilled meats, or instant noodles.
The center is a traditional Minang food centre that is rarely sold in other areas in Bukittinggi.

Not only the menu and its spices retain the ancestral heritage, the way the presentation was so.

Nasi Kapau, for example.
We can find Uni-Uni, a nickname for Minang women, peddle the signature dishes typical of Kapau in the original way.

They stood on a small stage, holding a long-held spoon, and visitors who sat lower than the seller.

Besides Nasi Kapau which is a mainstay of Bukittinggi, in Los Lambuang also easily find Katupek Pitalah made using Gulai seasoning with a variety of side dishes, ranging from meat, organ meats, to cakes.

The taste is very delicious precisely proportional to the price.
Just take Rp 30,000, visitors can already enjoy a portion of Nasi Kapau with more than one complete side dish.
If you feel less, we can add additional side dishes. The average traveler does not spend Rp 50,000 for one meal in Los Lambuang.

Remember, shame to ask perverted on the road.
If you have never visited this place, do not be ashamed to ask the people around.

The road to Los Lambuang indeed has to pass dozens of twists, dozens of stairs, and narrow alleys before arriving at Los Lambuang.

Sources of flame continue to use firewood.

Later, the scent of wood will be combined with coconut milk, banana leaf, and young bamboo.

When it was Lamang, Tapai became the topping.
Tapai is a process of fermentation of red glutinous rice for several days that are yeast-fed and chili peppers.

The making of Lamang still maintains such a traditional way.
According to one of the traders in Batusangkar market, modern technology will not be able to produce a savory flavor of the Lamang Tapai.

He added, the aroma of herbs and bamboo also can not be replaced with anything.

The savory and sour lamang with a tapai topping is an ancient flavor that is able to warm the body.

There are many ways to enjoy this culinary.
One way is to mix the Lamang with durian.
When durian season arrives, this fruit is widely scattered in Batusangkar market.

Another way is to mix the bread and srikaya, or it can be also with a rolled up the lamang that has been sliced on a black brown Tapai gravy.

The location of the week is easy to pass.
There is only a small nameplate mounted in front at the door of a fence made of BRC iron.

Its name is Batee Shoek fishing monument.

The monument building at Keneukai Village, Batee Shoek, Sukakarya was built to commemorate the massacre of Sabang people (supposedly there are also those remaining Allied forces) by the Japanese Army in 1944.
They were executed for being regarded as Allied spies and endangering Japan.

The victims of this massacre are said to be buried in the holes under this monument.
