Celebrating caffeine! Happy Cappuccino Day!
When coffee is good for you?
Coffee is good for you when consumed mid-morning, between 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., as this is when your body's natural energy-boosting hormone, cortisol, starts to dip. Drinking coffee in the morning can improve cardiovascular health and lower the risk of early death, especially when consumed before noon.
When coffee isn't good for you?
Coffee can be bad for you when consumed in excess, late at night, or by individuals with certain health conditions, as it can disrupt sleep, increase anxiety and heart rate, worsen heart issues, and interfere with medication. It's also discouraged for children and pregnant women. Unfiltered coffee may raise cholesterol, and adding sugar and cream can counteract its benefits.
If you find you rely maybe a little too much on that morning coffee to get you through the day, it might be because of poor sleep at night. Take a deeper look at what you do when your eyes are closed at night to see if it is unknowingly impacting your day. A simple home sleep test might be all that's standing in the way of a good night's sleep.
