Coffee, which is one of the most popular beverages in the world, has a stimulating effect thanks to the caffeine found in the coffee beans from which it is extracted. Caffeine is a stimulant drug, also found in cocoa, tea, and other plant-derived products. You can also find it in chocolate, cola drinks, and energy drinks.
How Our Body Reacts To Coffee
The more coffee we drink, the more our nervous system develops a tolerance to caffeine. The result is coffee addiction. An addiction that causes us, as soon as we wake up, to grope our way in the dark to our first cup of coffee—without which we are unable to start the day.
Now it turns out that when we drink the first coffee at the beginning of the day, we enjoy it much less of its effect and only increase our addiction.
The Verdict?
So when is it healthiest to drink coffee? Studies have found that the best time for coffee is between 9:30am and 11:30am and between 1:30pm and 5pm. These are the hours when there is a drop in cortisol levels, and then caffeine is able to affect us.
