We never think about it as a drug or an addiction, but that's exactly what it is,\" Pollan says. \"I thought, why not explore that relationship?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pollan's new audiobook, \u003cem>Caffeine, \u003c/em>explores the science of caffeine addiction and withdrawal — and the broader impact coffee and tea have had on the modern world. Caffeine, he says, is a powerful drug that alters the brain in surprising ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are studies that show that people's both \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5107567/\">mental performance\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19088794-caffeine-and-sports-performance/\">athletic performance\u003c/a> are improved by coffee,\" he says. \"If you have a cup of coffee after you've learned something or read a textbook chapter, you are more likely to test better on it the next day.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was only when he quit caffeine cold turkey that Pollan fully appreciated the mental and psychological boost his morning cup of coffee had provided: \"I just couldn't focus,\" he says. \"I lost confidence. The whole book seemed like a really stupid idea. And loss of confidence is actually listed as one of the symptoms of caffeine withdrawal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually the withdrawal symptoms subsided. Pollan lasted three months without caffeine — during which time, he says, his quality of sleep improved markedly. But now his research is complete and he's returned to his daily caffeine fix.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think the word 'addiction' has a lot of moral baggage attached to it,\" he says. \"As [Johns Hopkins researcher] Roland Griffeth told me, if you have a steady supply of something, you can afford it and it's not interfering with your life, there's nothing wrong with being addicted.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Interview highlights \u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On his experience of giving up caffeine for three months\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The thing that really struck me was that I've never had [attention deficit hyperactivity disorder]. I can focus pretty well. I felt like, oh, this is what ADHD is like. I can't keep stuff out of the peripheries. The peripheral information and sense data keeps rushing in and getting in the way. I felt like I was a horse that had taken its blinders off, and suddenly I could see too many degrees of circumference. So that was a real problem for working. I really had trouble sitting and writing and staying still.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a few days, this began to lift. I think anyone who delays having their morning cup of coffee knows what I'm talking about, but there was a kind of a sense of a veil or fog that had descended between me and reality. I was just kind of muzzy-headed and that gradually lifted. But I have to say, even weeks later, I felt like there was a little mental hitch between me and reality. I felt as if this wasn't my natural language — speaking in another language, which never goes that well or that smoothly. ... I got over it eventually, and I wrote a big chunk of the piece without the influence of caffeine. ... But it was an interesting three months. I recommend it actually. I think it's a really interesting exercise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On how going without caffeine improved his sleep \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was amazing. I was sleeping like a teenager again. I would pop off, and just sleep through the night — which I don't do that often. And I had some great sleeps. I guess that was the the big compensating benefit of giving up caffeine. ... Caffeine is the enemy of good sleep. ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's a problem in ways we don't perceive, because caffeine undermines the quality — not necessarily the quantity — but the quality of our sleep. And specifically, one very particular kind of sleep, which I'd never heard of before, called \"slow wave\" or \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2019/10/31/775068218/how-deep-sleep-may-help-the-brain-clear-alzheimers-toxins\">deep sleep\u003c/a>. This isn't REM sleep where you're having dreams, or light sleep. This is a really deep place you go for not that long a part of the night, but it's really important to your mental and physical health. It's where these slow waves start radiating from the front of your brain into the back, and they kind of harmonize all the neurons, get them on the same page. It's where you kind of take memories from short-term working memory and put them in their proper place. It's like cleaning up the desktop on your computer at the end of the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2017/10/16/558058812/sleep-scientist-warns-against-walking-through-life-in-an-underslept-state\">Matt Walker\u003c/a>, the psychologist who wrote \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/books/titles/558061359/why-we-sleep-unlocking-the-power-of-sleep-and-dreams\">\u003cem>Why We Sleep\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, thinks that this is very important to our health to have sufficient amounts of deep sleep. As we get older, we have less of it naturally. And coffee or tea cuts into that, even if you stop drinking it, say, at noon, because caffeine has a very long half-life and quarter-life. So, for example, the caffeine you ingest at noon — a quarter of it is still circulating in your bloodstream at midnight. It's still around. And this is the subtle and, perhaps, insidious effect it's having on you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On how caffeine withdrawal works \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's beginning when you wake up. I mean, you haven't had coffee or tea since sometime the day before. ... All those people who tell you, \"I'm not civil\" [or] \"I'm not fit for human conversation until I have a cup of coffee.\" They're beginning to go through that withdrawal. They're starting to feel a little off — that muzzy-ness is coming in. Maybe they have a headache. Maybe they're a little irritable. And then they have that cup of coffee and the pleasure they're getting from it, I learned, is not simply the lift, the euphoric lift of the drug. It's the suppression of the symptoms of withdrawal. We go through that cycle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the things you learn when you take a caffeine fast, as I did, is that the experience of caffeine is very different to a caffeine virgin or a restored caffeine virgin, as I was, than it is to someone who's addicted. Those people [who are addicted] are getting a little bit of lift, but mostly what they're getting is the relief from these symptoms that are about to come down on them. And that feels pretty good. You're back to baseline. But when you're off for a few months, man, it's something else. It's a very powerful drug experience. And I was not prepared for it at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On how caffeine keeps us alert\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have a neurotransmitter called \u003ca href=\"https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Adenosine\">adenosine\u003c/a>. ... Over the course of the day, levels of it rise and its job is to gradually make us tired — create what's called \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/transcripts/705224359?storyId=705224359?storyId=705224359\">sleep pressure\u003c/a>. So, eventually, we turn out the lights and go to sleep, [and] there is a receptor that the adenosine fits into. And, as it turns out, caffeine fits into the same receptor — it gets there before the adenosine has a chance to. So it essentially blocks the action of that neurotransmitter — you never get the signal that you're tired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='large' align='right' citation='Michael Pollan']'Caffeine really helps capitalism conquer the frontier of night. ... To break those circadian rhythms is a huge deal.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, though, the adenosine — it's not like it goes away. It keeps building up the level in your bloodstream, keeps building up, so that when the caffeine is finally metabolized and the receptors are available again. Voom! You get hit by a flood of adenosine and you get really tired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And what would you do then? Well, you'd have another cup of coffee and start the cycle all over again. ... That's what keeps us awake. That's the alertness of caffeine. But it does also act on some other network, such as the dopamine network, and that's \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2017/11/23/566034172/human-brains-have-evolved-unique-feel-good-circuits\">part of what gives us the euphoria\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On how caffeine helped capitalism \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have these circadian rhythms that organize and govern our lives — and they're hard to break. And I don't know that you could ever have had a night shift or even a late shift before you had caffeine. Caffeine really helps capitalism conquer the frontier of night. And that's why it was \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/04/07/396664685/tea-tuesdays-how-tea-sugar-reshaped-the-british-empire\">so important to the industrial revolution\u003c/a>, where you had these expensive machines you wanted to keep running all night and you moved to two and three shifts. Did people work at night before that? Not very much. That's why I do think the impact on the modern world has been profound and that this has had a huge effect on our civilization and and on ourselves. To break those circadian rhythms is a huge deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How coffee and tea historically relied on slave labor \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's a really ugly history behind both of them. [On] the early \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2013/11/12/244563532/photos-reveal-harsh-detail-of-brazils-history-with-slavery\">coffee plantations in Brazil\u003c/a>, all the workers were slaves. But even later, when you have post-slavery Central America, these were brutal places to work. The thing about growing coffee and tea is you need a lot of labor, because the shrubs have to be pruned. I went coffee picking in Colombia and it's really hard work. It's kind of a spiky plant and it grows on such a steep hillside. You can't get your footing. ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's a very dark history. And like a lot of things, we're participating in these commodity chains and we have no idea what's behind it. I mean, who among us has seen a coffee plant or a tea plant, except in photography? But at the other end of those food chains, it has often been quite a bit of brutality. And, of course, coffee and tea drove demand for sugar, and sugar was at the very heart of the slave trade in the Caribbean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On how climate change could affect coffee production \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's a very demanding plant, and it's very picky. It has to have exactly the right altitude, water ... all this kind of stuff, which is concerning now because coffee faces a tremendous threat from climate change. There is a narrow band of conditions that make coffee happy. And the estimates now [from] the climate scientists — and this will be alarming to the fellow addicts out there — is that 50 percent of the coffee-growing regions will not be able to support the coffee plant by 2050. So capitalism may be killing the golden goose as climate change undermines coffee production. ... We may look back and say we lived in this golden age of good coffee that lasted from 1966 to 2050 — and then it'll be downhill from there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Sam Briger and Thea Chaloner produced and edited the audio of this interview.

We never think about it as a drug or an addiction, but that's exactly what it is,\" Pollan says. \"I thought, why not explore that relationship?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pollan's new audiobook, \u003cem>Caffeine, \u003c/em>explores the science of caffeine addiction and withdrawal — and the broader impact coffee and tea have had on the modern world. Caffeine, he says, is a powerful drug that alters the brain in surprising ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are studies that show that people's both \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5107567/\">mental performance\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19088794-caffeine-and-sports-performance/\">athletic performance\u003c/a> are improved by coffee,\" he says. \"If you have a cup of coffee after you've learned something or read a textbook chapter, you are more likely to test better on it the next day.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was only when he quit caffeine cold turkey that Pollan fully appreciated the mental and psychological boost his morning cup of coffee had provided: \"I just couldn't focus,\" he says. \"I lost confidence. The whole book seemed like a really stupid idea. And loss of confidence is actually listed as one of the symptoms of caffeine withdrawal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually the withdrawal symptoms subsided.

I can focus pretty well. I felt like, oh, this is what ADHD is like. I can't keep stuff out of the peripheries. The peripheral information and sense data keeps rushing in and getting in the way. I felt like I was a horse that had taken its blinders off, and suddenly I could see too many degrees of circumference. So that was a real problem for working. I really had trouble sitting and writing and staying still.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a few days, this began to lift. I think anyone who delays having their morning cup of coffee knows what I'm talking about, but there was a kind of a sense of a veil or fog that had descended between me and reality. I was just kind of muzzy-headed and that gradually lifted. But I have to say, even weeks later, I felt like there was a little mental hitch between me and reality. I felt as if this wasn't my natural language — speaking in another language, which never goes that well or that smoothly. ... I got over it eventually, and I wrote a big chunk of the piece without the influence of caffeine. ... But it was an interesting three months. I recommend it actually. I think it's a really interesting exercise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On how going without caffeine improved his sleep \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was amazing. I was sleeping like a teenager again. I would pop off, and just sleep through the night — which I don't do that often. And I had some great sleeps. I guess that was the the big compensating benefit of giving up caffeine. ... Caffeine is the enemy of good sleep. ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's a problem in ways we don't perceive, because caffeine undermines the quality — not necessarily the quantity — but the quality of our sleep. And specifically, one very particular kind of sleep, which I'd never heard of before, called \"slow wave\" or \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2019/10/31/775068218/how-deep-sleep-may-help-the-brain-clear-alzheimers-toxins\">deep sleep\u003c/a>. This isn't REM sleep where you're having dreams, or light sleep. This is a really deep place you go for not that long a part of the night, but it's really important to your mental and physical health. It's where these slow waves start radiating from the front of your brain into the back, and they kind of harmonize all the neurons, get them on the same page. It's where you kind of take memories from short-term working memory and put them in their proper place. It's like cleaning up the desktop on your computer at the end of the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2017/10/16/558058812/sleep-scientist-warns-against-walking-through-life-in-an-underslept-state\">Matt Walker\u003c/a>, the psychologist who wrote \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/books/titles/558061359/why-we-sleep-unlocking-the-power-of-sleep-and-dreams\">\u003cem>Why We Sleep\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, thinks that this is very important to our health to have sufficient amounts of deep sleep. As we get older, we have less of it naturally. And coffee or tea cuts into that, even if you stop drinking it, say, at noon, because caffeine has a very long half-life and quarter-life. So, for example, the caffeine you ingest at noon — a quarter of it is still circulating in your bloodstream at midnight. It's still around. And this is the subtle and, perhaps, insidious effect it's having on you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On how caffeine withdrawal works \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's beginning when you wake up. I mean, you haven't had coffee or tea since sometime the day before. ... All those people who tell you, \"I'm not civil\" [or] \"I'm not fit for human conversation until I have a cup of coffee.\" They're beginning to go through that withdrawal. They're starting to feel a little off — that muzzy-ness is coming in. Maybe they have a headache. Maybe they're a little irritable. And then they have that cup of coffee and the pleasure they're getting from it, I learned, is not simply the lift, the euphoric lift of the drug. It's the suppression of the symptoms of withdrawal. We go through that cycle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the things you learn when you take a caffeine fast, as I did, is that the experience of caffeine is very different to a caffeine virgin or a restored caffeine virgin, as I was, than it is to someone who's addicted. Those people [who are addicted] are getting a little bit of lift, but mostly what they're getting is the relief from these symptoms that are about to come down on them. And that feels pretty good. You're back to baseline. But when you're off for a few months, man, it's something else. It's a very powerful drug experience. And I was not prepared for it at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On how caffeine keeps us alert\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have a neurotransmitter called \u003ca href=\"https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Adenosine\">adenosine\u003c/a>. ... Over the course of the day, levels of it rise and its job is to gradually make us tired — create what's called \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/transcripts/705224359?storyId=705224359?storyId=705224359\">sleep pressure\u003c/a>. So, eventually, we turn out the lights and go to sleep, [and] there is a receptor that the adenosine fits into. And, as it turns out, caffeine fits into the same receptor — it gets there before the adenosine has a chance to. So it essentially blocks the action of that neurotransmitter — you never get the signal that you're tired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"'Caffeine really helps capitalism conquer the frontier of night. ...

It keeps building up the level in your bloodstream, keeps building up, so that when the caffeine is finally metabolized and the receptors are available again. Voom! You get hit by a flood of adenosine and you get really tired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And what would you do then? Well, you'd have another cup of coffee and start the cycle all over again. ... That's what keeps us awake. That's the alertness of caffeine. But it does also act on some other network, such as the dopamine network, and that's \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2017/11/23/566034172/human-brains-have-evolved-unique-feel-good-circuits\">part of what gives us the euphoria\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On how caffeine helped capitalism \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have these circadian rhythms that organize and govern our lives — and they're hard to break. And I don't know that you could ever have had a night shift or even a late shift before you had caffeine. Caffeine really helps capitalism conquer the frontier of night. And that's why it was \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/04/07/396664685/tea-tuesdays-how-tea-sugar-reshaped-the-british-empire\">so important to the industrial revolution\u003c/a>, where you had these expensive machines you wanted to keep running all night and you moved to two and three shifts. Did people work at night before that? Not very much. That's why I do think the impact on the modern world has been profound and that this has had a huge effect on our civilization and and on ourselves. To break those circadian rhythms is a huge deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How coffee and tea historically relied on slave labor \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's a really ugly history behind both of them. [On] the early \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2013/11/12/244563532/photos-reveal-harsh-detail-of-brazils-history-with-slavery\">coffee plantations in Brazil\u003c/a>, all the workers were slaves. But even later, when you have post-slavery Central America, these were brutal places to work. The thing about growing coffee and tea is you need a lot of labor, because the shrubs have to be pruned. I went coffee picking in Colombia and it's really hard work. It's kind of a spiky plant and it grows on such a steep hillside. You can't get your footing. ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's a very dark history. And like a lot of things, we're participating in these commodity chains and we have no idea what's behind it. I mean, who among us has seen a coffee plant or a tea plant, except in photography? But at the other end of those food chains, it has often been quite a bit of brutality. And, of course, coffee and tea drove demand for sugar, and sugar was at the very heart of the slave trade in the Caribbean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On how climate change could affect coffee production \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's a very demanding plant, and it's very picky. It has to have exactly the right altitude, water ... all this kind of stuff, which is concerning now because coffee faces a tremendous threat from climate change. There is a narrow band of conditions that make coffee happy. And the estimates now [from] the climate scientists — and this will be alarming to the fellow addicts out there — is that 50 percent of the coffee-growing regions will not be able to support the coffee plant by 2050. So capitalism may be killing the golden goose as climate change undermines coffee production. ... We may look back and say we lived in this golden age of good coffee that lasted from 1966 to 2050 — and then it'll be downhill from there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Sam Briger and Thea Chaloner produced and edited the audio of this interview.

For more than 50 years, the federal government has been funding the program to make sure older Americans get the nutrition they need. Now, a project in Vancouver, Wash., is trying to use those funds for something new: a retro-hip diner, where seniors can get eggs, coffee, and community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the surface, The Diner looks like any other diner. Servers making sure the coffee is topped off, local business people having meetings, regulars who know the whole menu. There are the usual diner specialties, with some modern nods — cage-free eggs and local produce — and a retro vibe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They play Frank Sinatra in the mornings, and it makes me so happy,\" says Autumn Zukauskus, who comes for breakfast weekly. \"Eggs and Frank Sinatra: perfect breakfast.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when a younger patron like Zukauskus reaches for her credit card, seniors like Chris Bingenheimer pull out a little green dining card.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you can donate, you do. If you don't, you don't,\" Bingenheimer explains. \"And it's no big deal to them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's because the entire diner is a project of the local organization Meals on Wheels People. If you look closer, you'll notice a few differences from other restaurants. The chairs are on casters, to scoot out easily if they need to make space for a wheelchair. The coffee cups have large handles, to accommodate arthritic fingers. The building and finishes were designed and selected to minimize noise and maximize comfort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Avoiding stigma\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Suzanne Washington is the CEO of Meals on Wheels People, which serves about 5,000 meals a day. Most of these are home delivery, and about a third are in senior centers. But people don't always want to go to a senior center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We heard lots of folks say it was just too much of a stigma to go,\" Washington says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some baby boomers think senior centers are just for their grandparents. Or they're still working, and can't get away for lunch. So, Washington thought, 'Why not try a restaurant?'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A restaurant that is inter-generational. It's good food,\" says Washington. \"And at the same time, the paying public can help offset the cost of those in our program.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's a slightly different menu for participating seniors — like an added fruit cup or a glass of milk — to meet nutritional requirements. And some regular menu items aren't part of the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_136140\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-136140 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/01/oaamenu-8-2019-final-2_custom-d7f5aa725ef09353d7a50d6cc0051cc39dcfd79a-800x713.jpg\" alt=\"The Diner in Vancouver, Wash., serves seniors and non-seniors alike.

They've signed up an average of 38 new members per month — about three times the number that sign up for Meals on Wheels at their traditional senior centers. And those who come for the meal donate more for it — the average donation is $2.46, which is four times higher than the donation at a senior center. And for an organization that provides 1.2 million senior meals annually, every increase is significant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New sign-ups also get a visit from a client service coordinator, who does assessments, and checks if seniors need to be connected to additional services — the sort of information that they might have found at a traditional senior center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decline in participation at traditional senior centers isn't just a problem in the Pacific Northwest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is a national trend, where many senior centers are witnessing declining participation rates,\" explains Manoj Pardasani, a provost and professor of social work at Hunter College.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Providing engagement \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pardasani says the decline is due to a number of factors: centers that haven't innovated to reflect the diversity of the population, or people who look down on senior centers as something only for \"needy\" people. And he says the downturn is concerning, because these centers provide far more than just food. They provide community engagement, and combat isolation, which provides a benefit for mental and emotional health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The core belief behind meals is the socialization aspect,\" says Pardasani. \"We're human beings, we've been socialized to be social animals.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And The Diner is a social place. You can see it in the customers joking with the staff, the people who bring in an older neighbors, the seniors who carpool together for a meal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Young people like Amber Zukauskus come for that camaraderie just as much as for the little pies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Everyone here is so nice,\" says Zukauskus. \"And they pay everybody a living wage, and so all your tips just go to donations for Meals on Wheels, which is amazing. That's something I want to give money to.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Diner has gone through the usual hiccups of starting a new restaurant — dealing with staffing, figuring out the lunch rush, adjusting portion size so that seniors might have some extra to take home and eat later. Meals on Wheels People received some grant money to help with start up costs, and they expect to turn a profit in their third year. But even early on, they seem to be hitting their stride. It's a bustling, thriving business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chris Bingenheimer learned about The Diner from a friend, and came in to share a meal. He sometimes goes to a senior center, but was never a fan of the made-in-advance food, or the minimal choices, or of the fact he had to be called up for a meal like at the high school cafeteria.

For more than 50 years, the federal government has been funding the program to make sure older Americans get the nutrition they need. Now, a project in Vancouver, Wash., is trying to use those funds for something new: a retro-hip diner, where seniors can get eggs, coffee, and community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the surface, The Diner looks like any other diner. Servers making sure the coffee is topped off, local business people having meetings, regulars who know the whole menu. There are the usual diner specialties, with some modern nods — cage-free eggs and local produce — and a retro vibe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They play Frank Sinatra in the mornings, and it makes me so happy,\" says Autumn Zukauskus, who comes for breakfast weekly. \"Eggs and Frank Sinatra: perfect breakfast.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when a younger patron like Zukauskus reaches for her credit card, seniors like Chris Bingenheimer pull out a little green dining card.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you can donate, you do. If you don't, you don't,\" Bingenheimer explains. \"And it's no big deal to them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's because the entire diner is a project of the local organization Meals on Wheels People. If you look closer, you'll notice a few differences from other restaurants. The chairs are on casters, to scoot out easily if they need to make space for a wheelchair. The coffee cups have large handles, to accommodate arthritic fingers. The building and finishes were designed and selected to minimize noise and maximize comfort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Avoiding stigma\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Suzanne Washington is the CEO of Meals on Wheels People, which serves about 5,000 meals a day. Most of these are home delivery, and about a third are in senior centers. But people don't always want to go to a senior center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We heard lots of folks say it was just too much of a stigma to go,\" Washington says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some baby boomers think senior centers are just for their grandparents. Or they're still working, and can't get away for lunch. So, Washington thought, 'Why not try a restaurant?'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A restaurant that is inter-generational. It's good food,\" says Washington. \"And at the same time, the paying public can help offset the cost of those in our program.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's a slightly different menu for participating seniors — like an added fruit cup or a glass of milk — to meet nutritional requirements. And some regular menu items aren't part of the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_136140\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-136140 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/01/oaamenu-8-2019-final-2_custom-d7f5aa725ef09353d7a50d6cc0051cc39dcfd79a-800x713.jpg\" alt=\"The Diner in Vancouver, Wash., serves seniors and non-seniors alike.

They've signed up an average of 38 new members per month — about three times the number that sign up for Meals on Wheels at their traditional senior centers. And those who come for the meal donate more for it — the average donation is $2.46, which is four times higher than the donation at a senior center. And for an organization that provides 1.2 million senior meals annually, every increase is significant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New sign-ups also get a visit from a client service coordinator, who does assessments, and checks if seniors need to be connected to additional services — the sort of information that they might have found at a traditional senior center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decline in participation at traditional senior centers isn't just a problem in the Pacific Northwest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is a national trend, where many senior centers are witnessing declining participation rates,\" explains Manoj Pardasani, a provost and professor of social work at Hunter College.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Providing engagement \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pardasani says the decline is due to a number of factors: centers that haven't innovated to reflect the diversity of the population, or people who look down on senior centers as something only for \"needy\" people. And he says the downturn is concerning, because these centers provide far more than just food. They provide community engagement, and combat isolation, which provides a benefit for mental and emotional health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The core belief behind meals is the socialization aspect,\" says Pardasani. \"We're human beings, we've been socialized to be social animals.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And The Diner is a social place. You can see it in the customers joking with the staff, the people who bring in an older neighbors, the seniors who carpool together for a meal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Young people like Amber Zukauskus come for that camaraderie just as much as for the little pies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Everyone here is so nice,\" says Zukauskus. \"And they pay everybody a living wage, and so all your tips just go to donations for Meals on Wheels, which is amazing. That's something I want to give money to.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Diner has gone through the usual hiccups of starting a new restaurant — dealing with staffing, figuring out the lunch rush, adjusting portion size so that seniors might have some extra to take home and eat later. Meals on Wheels People received some grant money to help with start up costs, and they expect to turn a profit in their third year. But even early on, they seem to be hitting their stride. It's a bustling, thriving business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chris Bingenheimer learned about The Diner from a friend, and came in to share a meal. He sometimes goes to a senior center, but was never a fan of the made-in-advance food, or the minimal choices, or of the fact he had to be called up for a meal like at the high school cafeteria. He said he'll definitely be back to The Diner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The staff is very friendly,\" says Bingenheimer. \"They don't look down on you because you're with the Meals on Wheels program. They treat you kindly. The service is impeccable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bingenheimer is a senior using Meals on Wheels.

But this isn't the whole story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The research suggests that alcohol reduces the amount of time you can spend in the sun before you get a burn,\" explains Aaron White, a senior scientific adviser\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>with the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One line of evidence comes from a\u003ca href=\"https://www.karger.com/Article/Abstract/343908\"> small study of healthy men conducted in Germany\u003c/a>. Researchers measured how much UV light it took to burn their skin after the men consumed about three drinks. It turns out, after drinking alcohol, \"the amount of UV light it took to burn the skin was significantly less,\" White explains. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says the result is surprising, \"because it tells us that alcohol increases the risk of getting a sunburn — not just because people don't tend to put on sunscreen.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's not exactly clear why this happens. But scientists have a hunch. As part of the study, the researchers measured the concentration of carotenoids in the participants' bodies. Carotenoids are the yellow, orange, and red pigments that are produced by plants. \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3942711/\">When we consume carotenoids from fruits and vegetables, these pigments exert an antioxidant effect\u003c/a> in our bodies that may help protect against the damage done by the UV light. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the study, the men's carotenoid levels were lower after they consumed alcohol, so the researchers speculate that this decline in antioxidants may make the skin more vulnerable to the effects of the sun. Two prior studies, one from \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19450371\">Japan \u003c/a>and another from \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16034362\">France\u003c/a>, have also shown that people who consume alcohol regularly have lower concentrations of beta-carotene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decline in antioxidants does not fully explain why drinkers appear to be at higher risk of skin cancers. \"There are [likely] several explanations,\" says researcher Eva Negri of the University of Milan, whose research has documented that regular consumption of alcohol is linked to an increased risk of melanoma. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Researchers say alcohol may act on the body — and skin — in multiple ways and activate a chain of reactions that could make people more vulnerable to skin cancer. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This research is not new, but White says he was surprised when he stumbled upon these findings in the academic literature, because this connection between alcohol and the hastening of sunburn has not been on the radar of alcohol researchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More research is needed to fully understand this connection, but White says it's an important one. \"The added risk of sunburn with alcohol is probably one of the contributing factors to the [higher] rates of skin cancer [among] people who drink [alcohol].\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though all the participants in the German study were Caucasian, \u003ca href=\"https://www.skincancer.org/prevention/skin-cancer-and-skin-of-color\">people with darker skin can get sunburned\u003c/a> and are at risk of skin cancer from UV damage, too, so the concerns about drinking and sunburn apply to people of all skin colors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while most people have heard the message to use sunscreen — the advice to moderate alcohol consumption may help protect your skin, too. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2019 NPR.

But this isn't the whole story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The research suggests that alcohol reduces the amount of time you can spend in the sun before you get a burn,\" explains Aaron White, a senior scientific adviser\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>with the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One line of evidence comes from a\u003ca href=\"https://www.karger.com/Article/Abstract/343908\"> small study of healthy men conducted in Germany\u003c/a>. Researchers measured how much UV light it took to burn their skin after the men consumed about three drinks. It turns out, after drinking alcohol, \"the amount of UV light it took to burn the skin was significantly less,\" White explains. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says the result is surprising, \"because it tells us that alcohol increases the risk of getting a sunburn — not just because people don't tend to put on sunscreen.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's not exactly clear why this happens. But scientists have a hunch. As part of the study, the researchers measured the concentration of carotenoids in the participants' bodies. Carotenoids are the yellow, orange, and red pigments that are produced by plants. \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3942711/\">When we consume carotenoids from fruits and vegetables, these pigments exert an antioxidant effect\u003c/a> in our bodies that may help protect against the damage done by the UV light. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the study, the men's carotenoid levels were lower after they consumed alcohol, so the researchers speculate that this decline in antioxidants may make the skin more vulnerable to the effects of the sun. Two prior studies, one from \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19450371\">Japan \u003c/a>and another from \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16034362\">France\u003c/a>, have also shown that people who consume alcohol regularly have lower concentrations of beta-carotene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decline in antioxidants does not fully explain why drinkers appear to be at higher risk of skin cancers. \"There are [likely] several explanations,\" says researcher Eva Negri of the University of Milan, whose research has documented that regular consumption of alcohol is linked to an increased risk of melanoma. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Researchers say alcohol may act on the body — and skin — in multiple ways and activate a chain of reactions that could make people more vulnerable to skin cancer. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This research is not new, but White says he was surprised when he stumbled upon these findings in the academic literature, because this connection between alcohol and the hastening of sunburn has not been on the radar of alcohol researchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More research is needed to fully understand this connection, but White says it's an important one. \"The added risk of sunburn with alcohol is probably one of the contributing factors to the [higher] rates of skin cancer [among] people who drink [alcohol].\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though all the participants in the German study were Caucasian, \u003ca href=\"https://www.skincancer.org/prevention/skin-cancer-and-skin-of-color\">people with darker skin can get sunburned\u003c/a> and are at risk of skin cancer from UV damage, too, so the concerns about drinking and sunburn apply to people of all skin colors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while most people have heard the message to use sunscreen — the advice to moderate alcohol consumption may help protect your skin, too. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2019 NPR.
