"Coffee with goji berries, burn calories!"
"Coffee and dates, get up early tomorrow!"
"Coffee and hawthorn, love is no longer scum!"
I don't know when the coffee industry has also begun to "roll in", in order to combat middle-aged anxiety, a group of young people with increasingly thin hair have opened the thinking of "fancy health".
It is precisely because of this "fancy health", the coffee industry has also begun to become a new consumer experience----- health coffee.
Health coffee, can it really be healthy?
In fact, the practice of health coffee is actually very simple, that is, to add some medicinal herbs to the coffee, some add goji berries, some add hawthorn, some add red dates, and some ginseng or cordyceps are added to the luxury.
But in fact, the difficulty of extracting Chinese herbal ingredients is very large, and relying on cold extraction, the active ingredients that can be obtained from water are also very low.
In addition, some coffee will also add some scraping oil ingredients such as oil citrus and lemon, claiming to be able to play a role in slimming, but in fact, it does not have any effect on reducing food absorption, and the effect of weight loss is still very leisurely.
Putting aside all kinds of gimmicks, coffee itself is not something that everyone can drink
Regular drinking coffee, there is a refreshing, beautifying the skin, relieving fatigue and other effects, the taste of coffee is also mellow and fragrant, very delicious.
However, although the coffee is good, you must also remember to drink it in moderation, and remember not to drink coffee in the 3 hours before the break, especially these two types of people are best not to drink.
1. Patients with acute stages such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases
Because coffee contains caffeine, patients like heart disease and high blood pressure should try not to drink caffeinated drinks.
Studies have proved that after coffee drinking, the heart will beat faster, blood pressure will rise in a short period of time, people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular acute stage diseases, try to drink coffee as moderately as possible.
2. Children and adolescents
Because at this stage, the human nervous system is not yet fully developed, so it is extremely sensitive to caffeine, so it is recommended that children do not drink coffee.
For adolescents aged 13-18 years, the daily intake of caffeine does not exceed 100 mg.
Can I drink coffee for pregnant and lactating women?
It has been suggested that pregnant women and nursing women try to drink less or not caffeinated beverages. Avoid, avoid excessive intake of caffeinated drinks, it is easy to increase the probability of premature birth, fetal miscarriage, caffeine is also easy to affect the health of infants and young children through milk and various physical indicators.
But in fact, this type of population can drink coffee, but the amount needs to be halved.
As long as the amount is controlled, whether it is pregnancy or lactation, coffee is safe for both mother and baby. Of course, you can also choose some low-caffeine coffee.
When is the best time to drink coffee?
The standard answer to this question is: drink in the morning or after lunch.
Because the coffee at this time can be brainwashed, resist drowsiness after meals, and can last for 3-4 hours. If you choose to drink it after the afternoon, you are likely to find that you can't sleep when you get ready to go to bed at night.
Therefore, it is recommended that friends try not to drink coffee after four o'clock in the afternoon, or three hours before going to bed, so as not to affect the quality of sleep.
How much coffee can we drink in a day?
There are many types of coffee, but there are some mocha with cream or chocolate syrup, various vanilla lattes with flavored syrup, caramel lattes, these sugars are very considerable, drinking too much will not only make you fat, but also bring a series of negative effects.
As mentioned earlier, although coffee is good, excessive consumption will cause adverse effects such as sleep disturbances and arrhythmia, so we recommend that the daily caffeine intake should be limited to 400mg per day.
How exactly is it calculated?
For example, a large cup of latte (473ml) of Starbucks has a caffeine content of about 200mg;
For example, a small bag of 15g of instant coffee, the caffeine content is about 500mg.
So you know how to drink it?
