你的能量值与能量提升目标

What flavour is the experience of having a fully charged phone battery? This fantastic question comes from the TV show The Good Place, in which thousands of frozen yogurt flavours are on offer, one of which is “Full Cell Phone Battery.” Now, it’s certainly a very special feeling to see that green battery indicator reach 100 per cent, and have all that fresh energy just waiting there to be used for anything you’d like. Also, seeing the battery indicator shine red at 8 per cent when you don’t have a charger with you definitely produces a specific, burdensome experience.

我的稿件：“手机满电”是种怎样的体验？该妙趣横生的提问出自美剧《善地》——剧中的冻酸奶有成千上万种滋味，其中一款便唤作“手机满电”。的确，当那抹绿色的电量信号百分百满格的那刻，感受确实非常特别——满满的电量，蓄势待发，任尔驱使。而当你看见自己手机的电量条在8%处亮起红灯却手无充电器时，那种沉重的滋味，也独一无二。

采纳的稿件：你尝过手机电量满格的味道吗？这个有趣的问题来自美国喜剧《善地》（The Good Place），剧中提供了上千种口味的冻酸奶，其中一种就是“手机电量满格”味。确实，看到电量指示标志呈绿色，显示电量为100%，满满当当的电量供你随心所欲地使用，你一定有一种特别安心的感觉。但反过来，如果你没有带充电器，却看到手机电量只有8%，指示标志变红，你一定会感到焦灼不安。

How do you feel when you’re fully charged? If you aren’t fully charged today, what would you be doing if you had more energy? Would you give people more hugs, do more exercise, learn more, read more, socialise more, or take up an old hobby again? Think of all the goals, dreams, and activities in your life - you might have thousands of them - that are all limited by a single factor: your energy. The most exciting thing about this idea is that your energy isn’t static – in fact, it’s highly dynamic and flexible. Whatever your age might be, you can significantly increase your energy, which would enable you to do more of the things you want to do but don’t always feel up to on any given day. Not only can you increase your energy, you can also improve your overall energy potential. When you feel that your inner battery is fully charged, perhaps after a really good night’s sleep, your actual energy level might still be just 75 – or even 50 – per cent of your full potential.

我的稿件：当你能量满格时，你什么感受？假如你今天尚未“满格”，试想若攫取了更多能量，你会做些什么？是更多拥抱、加强锻炼、深度学习、畅读好书、拓展社交，还是重拾昔日爱好？想想你生活中的所有目标、梦想与活动——这些或许有成千上万，却都受限于一个核心因素：你的能量。但能量观点中，最令人振奋的是，你的能量并非静态的，事实上它极具动态，充满可能。无论年龄几何，你都能显著提升自己的能量水平——从而改写“心有余而力不足”的状态。而且，你不仅可以提升即时能量，还能拓展自己的能量上限。有时，一夜安眠后，你感觉自己“能量爆棚”，但实际上，你的能量也许只达到全部潜能的75%，甚至仅50%。

采纳的稿件：当你充满能量时，你感觉如何？如果你今天能量不足，要是有了更多能量，你会做些什么呢？是给身边的人更多拥抱、多运动、多学习、多读书、多社交，还是重拾一项过去的爱好？你在生活中可能有成千上万个目标、梦想和想做的事，但它们都被同一个因素所限制：你的能量。令人高兴的是，你的能量并非一成不变，实际上，它极具动态性与灵活性。无论你年龄多大，你都能大幅提升自己的能量，这样你就有能力去做更多你想做、却又力不从心的事情。你不仅能提升当下的能量，还能提升你整体的能量潜能。比如，美美地睡了一晚之后，你或许感觉自己体内的电池充满了电，但实际上它可能只达到你全部能量潜能的75 %，甚至50 %。

Now, of course, the situation is a little less simple for humans. We don’t have batteries in the same sense that phones do, and this is something we’ll come to appreciate more fully after some exciting explorations of the cellular biology of mitochondria. But before we dive into the details in Part 2, I’d like to ask you to take a moment to do the following two exercises and write down your reflections.

我的稿件：当然，人类的状况终究不似手机般简单。我们体内并无手机内那块真正意义的电池，而当我们兴奋地探究线粒体的细胞生物学奥秘时，你会体会更深。不过，在深入学习第二部分之前，请驻足片刻，完成以下两则练习，并写下你的感悟。

采纳的稿件：当然，人类的情况比手机复杂得多，我们不像手机那样有个实实在在的电池。在后续探讨了细胞线粒体[ 线粒体是真核细胞的重要细胞器，是细胞有氧呼吸的主要场所，可为细胞供能，还参与物质代谢、细胞凋亡调控等多种生理过程。]的生物学知识之后，你会更全面地理解这一点。在进入第二部分的具体内容之前，我想请你花点时间完成下面两个小练习，把你的想法写下来。

Exercise 1: Get a pen, and fill in your own estimation of how much capacity you feel you have today. Come back to this battery illustration in 6 weeks, and do the exercise again. That will reveal to you how much you’ve managed to boost your energy levels.

Exercise 2: To boost your own internal motivation, describe what it would mean to you to have more energy in your life. What would you use it for?

我的稿件：练习一：取一支笔，画一个电量图估计你今天的能量。6周后，再回到该电量图，重做一次该练习。这将揭示6周后，你究竟提升了多少能量。

练习二：为激发你内在的动力，请描述“拥有更多能量”对你而言意味什么？你会用这些能量做些什么？

采纳的稿件：练习1：请拿出一支笔，在“能量电池”示意图里填写你今天的能量估值。六周后，再回头看看这个示意图，重新填写一次。对比之下，你就知道这段时间自己的能量提升了多少。

练习2：为了激发你的内在动力，请描述一下，如果你在生活中拥有了更多能量，这对你来说意味着什么？你打算用这些能量做什么？

你的能量，第二章

—那些迷人的理科脑洞

第二部分 关于能量的硬核小知识

The average woman needs to eat about 2,000 kcal each day, while the average man requires about 2,500 kcal. To keep things simple, we can say that an average human needs a daily diet of about 2,250 kcal. This is equivalent to 9,414,000 joules (J) each day. Energy consumption per unit of time is measured in watts (W), where W = J/s. In other words, our daily energy requirement is 9,414,000 Ws, which is equivalent to 2.615 kW h. That’s about the same amount of energy that it takes to keep a single Christmas tree light shining for a full day. That’s pretty impressive, isn’t it? Your body is incredibly energy efficient!

我的稿件：一般来说，女性每日大约需要摄入2000千卡的能量，男性则约2500千卡。简而言之，可认为普通人每日约须摄入2250千卡能量，即9 414 000 焦耳（J）。当我们用“瓦特（W）”来表示单位时间的能量消耗，1瓦特=1焦耳/秒，也就是说，我们每天的能量需求是9 414 000 瓦秒（Ws），也就是2.615千瓦时（kWh），约等于一盏圣诞树小灯持续点亮24个小时所消耗的能量。是不是很神奇？身体利用能量的效率之高，令人惊叹！

采纳的稿件：成年女性平均每天大约需要摄入2000千卡的热量，而成年男性则需要摄入2500千卡。为了方便计算，我们可以取平均值，即每人每天大约需要摄入2250千卡的热量，这相当于941.4万焦耳（J）。我们以瓦特（W）为单位来计算单位时间内的能量消耗情况，其中1瓦特等于1焦耳每秒（W=J/s）。也就是说，我们每天的能量需求是941.4万瓦特•秒，换算后即为2.615千瓦•时[ 1千瓦·时等于1度电。]。这大致相当于一盏圣诞树彩灯持续亮一整天所消耗的电量。是不是很惊讶？我们人体的能量利用效率居然如此之高！

Did you know that one gram of fat contains 9 kcal (37 kJ)? That’s more than twice as much energy as a gram of carbohydrate or protein, both of which contain 4 kcal per gram. This means that fat is an efficient energy source – however, it’s also very easy to consume more energy than you use.

我的稿件：你可知晓？一克脂肪，竟蕴含着9千卡（37千焦）的能量，而碳水化合物与蛋白质每克仅含4千卡，脂肪的能量密度竟是它们各自的两倍有余。这意味着，脂肪是高效的能量来源，然而，也正因如此，人们极易摄入超出自身消耗所需的能量。

采纳的稿件：你知道吗？每克脂肪可提供9千卡（37千焦）的能量，而每克碳水化合物或蛋白质只能提供4千卡，前者是后者的两倍多。这意味着脂肪是一种高效的能量来源——不过，人们很容易摄入过多脂肪，造成能量过剩。

Unlike an electric car, which might have an 80 kW h battery to charge, you only need to “charge” yourself with 2.6 kW h per day. Your body uses this energy continuously throughout the day, just like an electric car uses energy while driving. A portion of your energy you consume will be dedicated to maintaining your Basal Metabolic Rate, or BMR. This is the energy you need to keep your organs, brain, and heart functioning when you’re in a state of rest. Your BMR will vary depending on your age and gender, and will be far lower than your recommended caloric intake (i.e., your total energy requirement), as you’ll rarely be lying still all day. As soon as you stand up and start walking around, you’ll be expending more energy than your BMR.

我的稿件：不同于电动汽车，可能需要为其80千瓦时的电池充电，而人体的所需能量低得多，每日仅需“充电”2.6千瓦时。就像行驶的电动车会持续耗能，这些能量也支持着昼夜不息的生命活动。一部分摄入能量将用于“基础代谢率”（BMR）”——那是维持心脑运转、器官工作所必需的最低静息能耗。BMR虽随着年龄、性别浮动，但也远低于每日建议的摄入热量总值，毕竟鲜有人终日静卧。一旦起身踱步，你的能耗便立刻超过BMR。

采纳的稿件：人体与电动汽车不同，电动汽车可能需要给容量为80千瓦•时的电池充电，而人体每天只需“充入”2.6千瓦•时的能量。人体整天都在不停地消耗能量，就像行驶中的电动汽车一样。你所摄入的能量一部分会用于维持基础代谢率（Basal Metabolic Rate），简称为BMR。基础代谢率指人体在休息状态下维持各器官、大脑和心脏正常运转所需的能量。基础代谢率会因年龄和性别的不同而有所差异，它通常远低于建议的每日卡路里摄入量（即你的总能量需求），因为你很少会一整天躺着不动。一旦你站起身来四处走动，你所消耗的能量就会大于你的基础代谢率。

During activity, like walking or exercising, your energy expenditure will increase. On days when you exert yourself a lot, whether physically or mentally, you might need to eat more than usual to balance your energy levels. If you happen to want to reduce your fat deposits, physical activity is a great way to do that.

我的稿件：在行走或锻炼等活动中，你的能耗会增加。无论体力还是脑力，为平衡你的能量消耗，在那些努力付出的日子里，你或许需要比平常更多的食物来“添柴加薪”。倘若你恰好想减脂，那体育锻炼无疑是绝佳的方法。

采纳的稿件：当你走路、跑步或健身时，身体就会消耗更多能量。要是哪天你的体力和脑力消耗特别大，你就需要多吃一点，来保证自己能量水平的平衡。如果你想减掉多余的脂肪，运动是燃烧脂肪的一个好办法。

If you should decide to run a marathon, you would need to add about 2,500 kcal to your intake, as that’s about the amount of energy that you’d expend running a marathon. A smartwatch or activity bracelet can be very helpful for keeping track of your energy expenditure. In my last book, I mentioned the Oura ring, which, in addition to helping you understand your energy expenditure, can also be used to analyse your sleep quality and other vital energy optimisation aspects.

我的稿件：如果你决意赴一场马拉松之约，那便须额外摄入约2500千卡能量，因为这大致是跑完全程马拉松的能耗。而智能腕表或运动手环，有助于运动中追踪你的能耗。正如我上部书中曾提及的Oura指环，它不仅能了解能耗，还能评估你的睡眠质量并有利于分析能量优化中的其他关键要素。

采纳的稿件：如果你打算跑一场马拉松，你需要多摄入大约2500千卡的能量，因为跑一场马拉松差不多要消耗这么多的能量。智能手表或运动手环在记录能量消耗方面非常有用。我在上一本书中提到“欧拉（Oura）”智能戒指，它不仅能帮助你了解自己的能量消耗情况，还可以用来分析你的睡眠质量，监测你的能量状态是否良好。

I can certainly understand why some people have a hard time making sense of why people should go running or exercise at the gym. Why expend energy at the gym if you’re only going to have to replenish it with more food? However, from an energy perspective, it actually makes quite simple sense: cardio and strength training will give you more, better, and healthier mitochondria (the body’s own power plants) as well as a healthier heart that can pump a greater volume per beat, and thus beat at a lower rate. This will provide stronger, better, and more efficient energy, and allow you to do more each day. As an added bonus, you’ll also live longer and be healthier.

我的稿件：我深切理解，为何有人参不透跑步或健身房锻炼的意义——既然锻炼带来的耗能终究要以进食填补，那这番周折究竟为何？但若以能量观的角度视之，答案竟如此澄明：有氧运动和力量训练能赋予你更多、更好和更健康的线粒体“能量工厂”，以及更健康的心脏——每搏量增加，因而心跳放缓。这将给你提供更强大、更优质和更高效的能量储备，让你每天都能完成更多事务，还能更健康、更长寿。

采纳的稿件：我很能理解，有些人不明白为什么要跑步或健身呢？他们觉得，在健身房消耗能量，回头还得吃更多东西补回来，这不是在瞎折腾吗？然而，从能量的角度来看，这其实很有必要：有氧运动和力量训练能让你拥有更多、更好、更健康的线粒体（人体自身的“发电站”）。而且运动能让你的心脏更健康，每次心跳泵出的血液更多，从而降低心率。这将为你提供更强大、更优质、更高效的能量，你每天便能做更多的事情。此外，运动还能让你更长寿、更健康。

So, in this context, exercise is a way of expending energy in the short term to gain more energy in the long term – a concept similar to that of investing money in shares or funds to get a return later on. Or as Jack LaLanne, the “Godfather of Fitness”, put it: “Your health account is your wealth account.”

我的稿件：如此说来，运动恰似一种“以短换长”的方式：短期支取能量，换取长期更丰厚的能量回报——这类似于投资股票或基金以期获得日后收益。正如“健身教父”杰克·拉兰内（Jack LaLanne）所言：“健康账户，就是财富账户。”。

采纳的稿件：因此，从这个角度来看，运动短期会消耗一定的能量，但长期会让你拥有更多能量。运动就像投资股票或基金，现在投入钱，是为了日后有所回报。正如健身“教父”杰克·拉兰内（Jack LaLanne）[ 杰克·拉兰内（1914 - 2011），美国“健身教父”，上世纪30年代起推广健身理念，普及健身知识，发明健身器材。他一生坚持健身并保持健康生活方式，用自身经历证明健身的益处，对现代健身文化的发展影响深远。]所说：“健康就是你的财富。”
