Many people practically cannot get through the day without a morning cup of coffee. That's why few people think about the fact that the morning is actually not a good time to drink the most popular caffeinated drink in the world.
If science is to be believed, people need to stop worrying about how much milk and sugar we add to our coffee. The secret to enjoying coffee lies elsewhere.
Analysis of the research "Modified-release hydrocortisone to provide circadian cortisol profiles”, which was carried out at the company Care 2, showed that it is a key factor in drinking coffee the time of its ingestion. Why is this really so?
The human body increases the production of stress hormones in the morning cortisol. After waking up, the level of this hormone increases to 50 %. For most people, it peaks between 8:00 and 9:00 in the morning. A person also receives an additional amount of cortisol during lunch and dinner. In this way, the body automatically contributes to increased levels of energy and productivity.
Judging by this, it can be concluded that our body does not need coffee in the morning. The same applies to midday and evening time. At this point, you probably have a question, when do you even drink coffee? Scientists believe that the best times to drink coffee between larger meals of the day.
Of course, researchers can't force you to give up your morning routine habit. Still, it might be worth it to test, whether their results also hold in practice.
