Close contact with coffee
Caffeine can invigorate the spirit, enhance thinking ability, and restore muscle fatigue due to its effect of stimulating the central nervous system and muscles. Acting on the cardiovascular system, it can improve heart function, stretch blood vessels and promote blood circulation. For the gastrointestinal system, it can help digestion and the decomposition of fat.
Helps weight loss
I believe that many people have heard that drinking black coffee can help you lose weight, in fact, this is only one of the factors, caffeine can indeed accelerate the breakdown of fat, but at the same time, it is more important to rely on the movement of the muscles, in order to convert the excess fatty acids into calories to be consumed, and if there is no movement to go along with it, excess fatty acids and back down the bloodstream to re-accumulation of fat. Fat will build up again. Therefore, after drinking coffee, you need to be active at the same time, in order to play a real weight loss effect! Coffee itself has calories, but not many. The main calories are in the creamer and sugar you add to your coffee.
Antioxidant capacity
In recent years, as long as the antioxidant function of the food are in the market in a big way, generally known vegetables and fruits rich in A, C, B vitamins, as well as quite popular in Japan, the tea, the reason why it is regarded as a healthy food is that they are rich in antioxidants, can fight against free radicals on the body's damage. A few days ago, a research report pointed out that coffee contains four times more antioxidants than tea, and can fight cardiovascular disease, and coffee itself is also in line with the principle of antioxidants, color (dark) and has a bitter taste. The antioxidant content of each coffee varies according to the way it is brewed, for example, Americano contains the least amount of antioxidants, while Espresso contains the most antioxidants. Coffee does not lose its antioxidant effect when creamer is added.
Improve dry eyes
Overseas reports indicate that coffee drinkers are significantly less likely to suffer from dry eyes than non-coffee drinkers. This is mainly related to the purine component of coffee (eye drops containing purine, can stimulate the glands to secrete fluid, the eyes have some kind of protective effect). This is certainly good news for coffee drinkers, but it should be noted that coffee itself has a diuretic effect, and even though some of its components have a protective effect, caffeinated beverages must be banned from those who already suffer from dry eye, as well as from those who take any medication containing diuretic ingredients, so as not to exacerbate the loss of water from the body.
Can relieve pain
Headaches caused by a night's sleep, or pain caused by vasoconstriction on the side of the temples, which are not caused by organic factors, can be relieved by coffee, but it must be drank in the morning or at noon (Note: not allowed from late afternoon to night).
The amount of coffee
Coffee is good for the human body, but you can't drink too much, no more than 2 cups a day, for people who are easily nervous and anxious, drinking too much may be harmful.
Drinking coffee time
Drinking coffee is best after breakfast and lunch, because it can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, help digestion, and can break down the high-calorie, high-fat food that is eaten, and will not stimulate the intestines and stomach, like drinking coffee on an empty stomach. It is best not to drink coffee after dinner for fear that it will have an impact on sleep.
If you want to stay up all night by drinking coffee, you may drink too much without realizing it, which is not good for your body.
Caffeine helps improve alertness, sensitivity, memory and concentration. But drinking more coffee than you're used to can be similar to consuming the same dose of a stimulant, which can cause nervousness. For people who tend to have anxiety disorders, caffeine can cause sweaty palms, palpitations, and ringing in the ears to worsen these symptoms.
Exacerbating high blood pressure
Caffeine is often combined with other simple painkillers because of its own painkilling properties, but taken in large amounts over a long period of time, using large amounts of caffeine will only worsen your condition if you already have high blood pressure. Because caffeine alone can raise blood pressure, and when combined with emotional stress, it can have a dangerous multiplying effect, people at risk for high blood pressure should especially avoid caffeinated beverages during stressful times at work. Some people who are regular coffee drinkers think they are immune to the effects of caffeine, but this is not the case, as one study showed that a cup of coffee can raise blood pressure for up to 12 hours.
Inducing osteoporosis
Caffeine itself has a good diuretic effect, and if you drink a lot of coffee for a long time and a lot of it, it is easy to cause bone loss, which will have a negative impact on the preservation of bone mass, and in the case of women, it may increase the threat of osteoporosis. However, the premise is that the usual food originally lacks the intake of sufficient calcium, or infrequent movement of people, coupled with post-menopausal women, due to the lack of estrogen caused by the loss of calcium, the above conditions plus a large amount of caffeine, may pose a threat to the bone. If you can enjoy it in reasonable amounts, you can still do it without choking.
Drink coffee with caution for these people
People with liver disease
Caffeine prolongs the time it takes for caffeine to thank in the body. The metabolism of caffeine takes 2 hours in normal adults, but in patients with liver disease or liver dysfunction, the metabolism of caffeine may take 4-5 hours, so patients with liver disease should be careful when drinking coffee, and it's best not to drink it in the evening, so as to avoid affecting sleep due to the metabolism of the time is long, and the best one day not more than 1 cup.
Patients with digestive disorders
It is believed that people who often suffer from stomach pains and stomach diseases have an experience, that is, the doctor must be instructed not to eat stimulating foods, including: alcohol, chili peppers, coffee, tea, carbonated beverages.
The reason why coffee is on the list is that the tannins in it stimulate the secretion of gastric acid, which must be avoided if the patient is in the acute stage of digestive diseases. After the recovery of health, if you occasionally drink coffee, it is also best to use after meals, avoid drinking coffee on an empty stomach.
Pregnant women
Many women start to eat all the food from the beginning of their pregnancy, and caffeinated beverages are of course also listed as one of the taboos. This is mainly due to the slow metabolism of caffeine for pregnant women, caffeine stays in the body for a longer period of time, and the fetus in the womb until eight or nine months of age, to be able to metabolize and remove caffeine from the blood.
Children
Because of the incomplete development of children's liver and kidneys, the detoxification ability is poor, so that the half-life of caffeine metabolism will be extended, so in general, children under the age of 12 years old need to prohibit the intake of caffeine. Even if you drink coffee as water all day long in Europe and the United States, there are very strict restrictions on children drinking coffee.
