The correct way to drink coffee

Since drinking coffee has so many benefits, can we drink it without scruple? How to drink the healthiest? Here are some ways to drink coffee correctly:

1. Don't be on an empty stomach-nowadays, many people are used to drinking a cup of coffee on an empty stomach when they get up in the morning, which will not only reduce their appetite, but also stimulate their stomach. It is recommended to drink after breakfast or lunch. Drinking coffee at this time can help digestion.

2. Add some milk-when drinking coffee, you can add some whole milk instead of sugar and coffee partner, because coffee partner contains high fat content and hydrogenated vegetable oil, which is unhealthy. If milk is used instead, it will not only make coffee taste sweet and smooth, but also add some protein and calcium.

3. Drink early-it takes 8 hours for caffeine to be completely excreted. It is recommended not to drink coffee at night, which will affect the quality of sleep. You'd better finish it before 3 pm. American neuroscientists have calculated that the best time to drink coffee every day is from 9: 30 am to 1 1: 30 am. This is because caffeine can interact with cortisol, an important hormone in the human body, and reach the best state during this time.

4. Appropriate amount-the average normal person should not consume more than 400 mg of caffeine every day, which is equivalent to drinking about 4 cups of coffee. Excessive drinking can lead to violent beating of the heart, high blood pressure, and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Moreover, caffeine will affect the absorption of calcium and increase the risk of osteoporosis. Drinking too much will accelerate the loss of minerals and vitamins in the body. Many people are concerned about whether pregnant women can drink coffee. Based on the current scientific evidence, it is generally considered that no more than 2 cups (about 200 milligrams of caffeine) per day is acceptable. Exceeding this amount will increase the risk of miscarriage, premature delivery or underweight babies. Breastfeeding mothers may bring risks such as affecting the baby's sleep.
