But you have to know that everything has two sides, even if the overall attributes of an ingredient or drink are inclined to be positive, you can't rely too much, if you are also a senior coffee control, then the following 5 things you must know.
1, drinking coffee on an empty stomach will also be "drunk"
Not only alcoholic beverages, but coffee will also make you "drunk". No doctor or nutritionist recommends drinking coffee on an empty stomach, because the gastric mucosa absorbs caffeine very quickly on an empty stomach, and as the high concentration of caffeine enters the bloodstream, the heart and nervous system will be stimulated, resulting in dizziness, palpitation, chest tightness, shortness of breath, night sweats and a series of reactions. Therefore, it is best to accompany some small desserts when drinking coffee to reduce the absorption of caffeine by the stomach.
2. Drinking coffee before exercise can enhance the effect of fat loss
Studies have shown that drinking some coffee before exercise can boost metabolism and promote fat burning more than going to exercise without drinking anything. This is because when the caffeine in coffee is absorbed into the blood by the gastric mucosa, the body will make a stress response, the concentration of fatty acids in the blood will rise rapidly, and the free fats in the body that are difficult to be metabolized will be consumed in the process of exercise.
3, drink some coffee every day is good for health
For sedentary office workers, drinking some coffee every day is definitely very beneficial for health. Caffeine and polyphenols in coffee can increase the concentration of nitrogen oxides in the body, stimulate vasoconstriction and expansion, keep blood vessels elastic, prevent thrombosis, and maintain the health of the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system.
4, coffee is best placed in the morning to drink
After caffeine enters the body, it takes more than 7 hours to be completely metabolized clean, and the main role of caffeine is to accelerate lymphatic metabolism, stimulate the central nervous system, and fight drowsiness, so if the quality of sleep itself is relatively poor, or you want to fall asleep early, it is best to drink coffee in the morning to avoid affecting sleep quality. Of course, if you really like the mellow and strong smell of coffee, you can choose some low-coffee or coffee-free coffee drinks as a concoction.
5, drink about 300ml of coffee a day is the healthiest
Even if the benefits are many, the coffee should never be drunk in excess. Generally speaking, the amount of coffee drunk per day should not exceed 350ml, and it is best to maintain it at about 300ml.
