Most of us start our day with coffee but is it a good habit? Experts will give you advice on the right time to drink coffee for health.
From 8-9am
What happens if you drink your first cup of coffee in the morning? Yes, cortisol is a stress hormone and usually peaks between 8-9am.
If you drink coffee at this time, your stress levels may increase. Besides, caffeine can increase cortisol levels and when combined with naturally high cortisol levels will increase your anxiety and restlessness. The wise decision is to avoid coffee between 8-9am.
From 10-11:30
If you really can't live without coffee, this is a safe time to indulge your cravings. The reason is that at this point, your cortisol levels are temporarily lowered so it won't cause excessive stress.
From 12-13 pm
Your cortisol levels are once again rising at this point so you shouldn't be drinking coffee either.
From 13 to 17h
After 1 p.m., your cortisol levels may drop again. If you feel sleepy between 13 and 17, enjoying a cup of coffee can make you feel stronger and more alert.
Dinner time: Never drink coffee with a meal or immediately after a meal. That can interfere with the absorption of iron in the body. You should maintain a gap between meal time and coffee intake, especially for coffee containing sugar and milk. Don't forget this if you are anemic.
Evening
Never drink coffee in the evening. That can cause you to lose sleep completely or greatly affect the quality of sleep due to the jitters that coffee causes.
Besides, an issue you need to pay attention to is to drink an appropriate amount of coffee because if you gradually increase your use, you will need more and more to feel strong. And this is what makes you a coffee addict.
