Some people drink it for its stimulating properties, others appreciate its taste. One thing is certain, many people simply cannot imagine starting the day any other way than with a cup of aromatic coffee. Drinking it was long considered an intoxicant, but current information says otherwise.
Is drinking coffee healthy?
– You like coffe? You know that 9 out of 10 people do not know that coffee does not wash out magnesium and does not dehydrate our body. Additionally, it protects us against type 2 diabetes. Moreover, thanks to the large amount of caffeine, it increases metabolism and helps you lose weight. Of course, drink in moderation, i.e. up to five cups a day. It is healthy, but it must be drunk without sugar and without any additives, because coffee with additives such as syrups, whipped cream, ice cream is, unfortunately, a calorie bomb – says Dr. Eng. Karolina Kowalczyk, an expert on food safety, in one of her videos on TikTok.
In turn, it states that “a meta-analysis by Grosso and colleagues from 2017 showed that habitual coffee consumption in the long term is not a risk factor for the development of hypertension, and the results obtained show an inverse relationship between increasing coffee consumption and the risk of developing hypertension. However, if a person with with hypertension, occasionally drinks coffee or is afraid of its “side effects”, they may use decaffeinated coffee because a number of coffee ingredients other than caffeine have a positive effect on the human body.
Do you drink coffee every day? Remember one thing
“Then why does your eyelid twitch after drinking coffee?” – one of the people asked in the comments under the post of Dr. Eng. Karolina Kowalczyk. “Caffeine in excess is a diuretic, which results in the loss of sodium, potassium and magnesium,” replied the expert. By drinking coffee in the recommended amounts, eating healthy and balanced meals and drinking the right amount of water every day, you do not have to worry about losing magnesium.
“People who consume large amounts of coffee should pay attention to its diuretic effect. The diuretic effect is usually observed an hour or a little later after drinking coffee. Moderate coffee consumption, about 2 cups a day, does not affect the loss of calcium or magnesium with a properly composed diet. However, higher coffee consumption and a diet low in calcium or magnesium may require dietary adjustments and supplementation. Proper hydration of the body is also important,” writes Agnieszka Jarosz, M.D., Ph.D., National Center for Nutrition Education.
