Coffee has many positive properties: it contains antioxidants, reduces stress, improves blood circulation and reduces the risk of diabetes. The healthiest is black, freshly ground and brewed, without any additives such as sugar, milk or cream. Some people drink up to 5 such cups a day. However, there is a certain type of coffee that we should avoid or drink very rarely.
Turkish coffee. For your own good, it is better to give it up
Contrary to appearances, the most unhealthy coffee is not instant coffee. It’s about Turkish coffee, which comes from Middle Eastern countries. It is brewed from Arabica beans. It is very strong and very sweet because it contains sugar, cardamom and cinnamon. It is served in a small cup (called demitasse) and accompanied by a glass of water. People prefer to drink it in the morning because it acts as an energy boost. In practice, it is a thick drink filled with coffee grounds. It contains 30 times more cholesterol-raising substances than filter coffee. Additionally, it increases blood pressure, thus putting a strain on the heart. Due to the large amount of sugar, it also loses many of its properties.
Why is Turkish coffee unhealthy? Expert opinion
– The least healthy are boiled coffees, i.e. Turkish coffee or coffee with grounds floating in it, i.e. the so-called scab. When grounds float in coffee, substances that are harmful to us are released from them. It is therefore important to squeeze out the grounds and only then drink the drink, explained sports dietitian Justyna Mizera in an interview with the website. You cannot drink Turkish coffee in the evening because it may cause sleep problems. People who are not used to large doses of caffeine should avoid it completely. Drinking such a strong drink may cause nausea, stomach pain and dizziness.
