Coffee basic knowledge 17 pieces of common sense about coffee

If you love coffee, you must know its charm very well. The following brings you more common sense about coffee, which I believe will make your love for coffee deeper.

1. The first thing to do when you get up is not to drink coffee

Your body secretes a substance called cortisol, which keeps your brain awake and your body active. The amount of cortisol in the body changes according to the biological clock and reaches its highest level after you get up. So if you're used to drinking coffee as soon as you get up, the caffeine you consume will overlap with the cortisol in your body, and the refreshing effect of coffee will be less obvious.

two。 Drinking coffee doesn't dehydrate you.

Big news! People used to think that drinking coffee is diuretic, but science has proved that this is not true. Coffee won't keep you in the bathroom unless you drink too much (more than 500-600 milligrams or more than two cups a day). The study found that coffee did not significantly increase the body's urine output compared to non-caffeinated drinks. So the next time you drink coffee, you don't have to find the toilet in advance.
