Coffee FAQ:Best time to drink coffee and How much coffee

Coffee is one of the most popular beverages in the world. We Chinese people drink coffee more and more, but whether coffee can refresh and improve work efficiency? When is the best time to drink coffee? Regarding coffee, I saw many people have doubts in several larger community forums. Some people say that if you are sleepy, you can refresh yourself by drinking coffee, but some people say that you can easily fall asleep if you can not sleep. So, what is all about coffee? Well, next I tell you the truth about coffee.

What is the best time to drink coffee?
The best time to drink coffee depends because Everyone has a circadian clock. The circadian clock is the hormonal cycle of the body within 24 hours, reminding you which point to eat, get up, and sleep. In other words, the rest time is different, the biological clock is different. This will appear early to wake up early wake up type and late to sleep late rise type.

But at some point, a cortisol that awakens hormones will appear in the body. After the appearance of cortisol, the body produces "natural caffeine." In other words, at this moment you will feel full of energy, work with energy, and have quick thinking. Cortisol can appear many times a day. For a person who has a normal schedule, the period of cortisol appears from 8 to 9 in the morning, 12 to 13:30, 17:30 to 18:30 Wait.

Drinking coffee at the peak of cortisol will greatly reduce the effect. Some people even appear to fall asleep drinking coffee. Therefore, if you want to improve your work efficiency, do not drink coffee when you are in the best state of mind. Feeling a little sleepy and a little tired, then a coffee reminder, the effect will be very good.

How long does coffee take effect?
Drinking coffee will stimulate the receptors in the human cerebral cortex to produce stimulation. This time is usually fifteen to twenty minutes. In other words, fifteen minutes after drinking coffee, you will become more energetic and more focused. Therefore, when you have an idea and want to concentrate on doing things, then have a cup of coffee and make yourself more focused.

If you feel a little tired, then stop for a cup of coffee and take a break within 15 minutes of the coffee not working, then after 15 minutes, the strength of the body itself and the power of coffee coincide, which is equivalent to the brain restarting and the body is full of energy Grid, then, doing things will be more energetic.

How much coffee is healthy to drink?
Although the coffee is good, do not be greedy for it,and accordingtoResearch,around 400 mg of caffeine per day is generally considered safe for most healthy individuals. This is approximately equal to four 8-ounce cups of brewed coffee.

Take the Starbucks large cup of coffee as an example, it contains about 95 to 200 mg of caffeine, which is the normal tolerance of ordinary people. The maximum tolerance of caffeine is 10-20 grams of caffeine, which is equivalent to 100 cups of Starbucks coffee. Ordinary people do not drink like this, unless they find dead people.

For office workers, it is appropriate not to exceed two glasses a day, which means that the intake of caffeine is controlled within 400 mg.

Does coffee really solve constipation?
Really! Coffee is a powerful stimulant that can stimulate bowel movements, prevent constipation, and maintain regular bowel movements.

About half an hour after drinking coffee, there is usually a willingness to defecate. Therefore, here is a small reminder to the office workers. If it is an important meeting or meeting important customers after half an hour, it is best not to drink coffee, otherwise, going to the bathroom halfway will still affect the work. .

Can working women drink coffee during menstruation?
No! After drinking coffee, you will definitely feel excited and warm, but coffee has a stimulating effect on the body, which will make women more nervous, and some may even have headaches and aggravate the symptoms of dysmenorrhea. That is to say, working women themselves are a little bit uncomfortable during the menstrual period. After drinking coffee, the body will be more uncomfortable.

Therefore, for professional women, it is best to stop or reduce the intake of caffeine a few days before menstruation, and do not drink a single drop during menstruation, so as to keep the body in the best condition. Good health is an important prerequisite for doing a good job.

Finally, I want to say to those who are addicted to coffee that coffee itself is a drink, which allows us to have a better working state. It is because we find coffee and get used to it. We can not turn it upside down and let coffee determine our work and life.
