Speaking of coffee, it is a favorite of many people. Coffee is a very popular drink abroad, not only abroad, but now coffee is also very popular in China. It has also been pursued by many people, especially white-collar workers who often stay up late. Long hours of work will make them physically and mentally exhausted. How to keep a clear head and drink work sales during long hours of work, coffee is their first choice.

But many people choose coffee that is not pure coffee, but instant coffee with a lot of added ingredients. Instant coffee contains high sugar additives, which have a great burden on the body, and drinking instant coffee regularly is very harmful.

But for instant coffee, many people are worried about the heart: regular drinking instant coffee will not cause any harm to our body? Is there a lot of bad additives added to instant coffee? In fact, instant coffee is not as terrible as we think. Instant coffee is a powder that is dried after extracting effective ingredients from roasted coffee beans. It is usually made into a three-in-one coffee drink. The reason why it has been criticized by people is mainly because it adds a lot of white granulated sugar, plant fat powder and edible essence.

Sugar addition is mainly one of the causes of obesity, but also likely to cause hypertension, diabetes and other related diseases, and plant fat powder contains hydrogenated vegetable oil, hydrogenated vegetable oil trans fatty acids for our human health is not good, so we often mention to avoid excessive intake. Although it is said that three-in-one instant coffee is very good to drink, and it can also be easily accepted by people, the coffee that ordinary people first come into contact with is generally this kind of coffee. It tastes unique but is particularly fragrant and sweet, and it can quickly make people addicted!

However, it tastes good for a certain reason. Even without milk, it has a very mellow and smooth taste. This is the credit of plant fat powder (also called creamer). It is much sweeter and more delicious than bitter and light black coffee. This is mainly due to sugar! Plant fat powder contains a lot of saturated fat, like fat in fat, high in calories, fragrant in taste, but it is the number one public enemy of good body shape, which is very easy to cause weight gain. Therefore, if you consume a large amount of instant coffee added with plant fat powder every day, you may consume more fat. The so-called fat destroys everything, not only affects your appearance index, but also increases your risk of cardiovascular disease.

Sugar is what we call the number one enemy of human health in the past 100 years-obesity, hyperlipidemia, high uric acid, skin aging, vascular aging are related to it! People who drink sugar water every day are more likely to have excessive visceral fat, and their health hazards may be greater than ordinary obesity! From the perspective of the nutritional composition of instant coffee, it is mainly analyzed by the composition table of a certain instant coffee. A 15-gram three-in-one instant coffee has an energy of 291 kilojoules (about 70 kilocalories), 0.6 grams of protein, 2.4 grams of fat, 11.2 grams of carbohydrates and 68 mg of sodium. That is to say, drinking 3 cups of instant coffee a day, the intake of energy may exceed one tenth of the daily energy required, whether it is sugar or calories are actually not negligible.

Therefore, we do not recommend drinking a large number of three-in-one instant coffee every day, occasionally once or twice is no harm, but if the habit is formed, this harm really can not be underestimated! In addition, instant coffee inevitably involves caffeine. Caffeine in coffee will have a certain exciting effect on the central nervous system of our human brain, giving people a feeling of relieving fatigue and improving their attention, so we often rely on drinking coffee to refresh ourselves. However, if excessive drinking of coffee, it is likely to cause palpitations, insomnia, blood pressure instability, especially some people sensitive to caffeine, if there will be accelerated heartbeat, nausea and dizziness after drinking coffee, it can be said that coffee is a contradiction of both advantages and disadvantages.

Therefore, for people who drink coffee regularly, we must pay attention to control the intake, generally do not exceed 3 cups a day (about 200 ml per cup), you can choose freshly ground pure coffee, then try to drink less instant coffee, if you can only drink instant coffee, you need to pay attention to its energy and carbohydrates, etc., try to choose products with relatively low energy, carbohydrate and fat content.

Coffee is good, but also can not be greedy, instant coffee is also, occasionally drink is OK, but no matter what, regular intake will bring great harm to the body. Instant coffee adds a lot of ingredients, so the taste is good, it will make people cup after cup, but if you don't pay attention to the amount, it is easy to cause great harm to the body, so you love to drink instant coffee friends to pay attention!
