Experts Reveal The Best Time to Drink Coffee
Recently, there has been a debate on social media about the best time to consume coffee. Some users claim that drinking coffee in the morning actually depletes their energy throughout the day. But is this really the case? When should coffee be consumed? Let's delve into a study conducted by an expert to find out!
Coffee is one of the most consumed beverages globally, leading to various opinions about how and when it should be consumed.
There are conflicting views on when and how much coffee should be consumed, with some advocating for its health benefits while others highlighting its potential drawbacks.
Recently, some users on social media have claimed that drinking coffee in the morning actually reduces their energy levels throughout the day.
In an interview reported by The New York Times, researcher Marilyn Cornelis from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine explained the ideal timing for coffee consumption. Cornelis noted that everyone reacts differently to caffeine in coffee, emphasizing the role of genetics.
The effects of caffeine in coffee typically last for about 20 to 30 minutes.
Michael Grandner, director of the Sleep and Health Research Program at the University of Arizona, suggests waiting 30 to 60 minutes before having the first coffee of the day. Sleep expert Dr. Deborah Lee recommends consuming the first coffee 45 minutes after waking up.
"Drinking coffee immediately upon waking up can do more harm than good."
Experts who wait a specific duration after waking up before consuming coffee suggest that those who drink coffee right after waking up may become dependent on caffeine over time. 'Cortisol hormone follows a specific rhythm unique to your sleep cycle. High cortisol levels can affect your immune system. Adding coffee to your already peaked cortisol levels upon waking up can do more harm than good...'
However, it's essential to remember that the response to caffeine varies from person to person.
Some people who drink coffee in the morning find it easier to focus on their tasks. Delaying coffee intake can also disrupt sleep, similarly affecting overall health.
