FIVE COFFEE MYTHS TO DEBUNK
1. If you are on a diet, it is better to avoid coffee ☕
A cup of coffee, without added sugar, provides a maximum of 2 calories.
Yes, you heard right!
Not only does coffee not make you gain weight, it also helps reduce the feeling of hunger.
So, my dear reader who (alas) is on a diet, you can consume all the cups of coffee you want and get to a maximum of 3 or 4 a day , furthermore, it increases your metabolic activity by 10% compared to that of those who do not drink coffee.
2. You have trouble breathing because you drink too much coffee 😮💨
A myriad of scientific studies confirm that coffee is an excellent aid to proper breathing.
Perhaps one of the lesser-known benefits of coffee, researchers at Humanitas say that this drink “can also boast a bronchodilator effect which, for example, in asthma attacks reduces respiratory muscle fatigue, improving expiratory volume”.
So, a coffee can help you breathe better.
3. Coffee makes you nervous 😡
Drinking coffee daily can prevent anxiety, depression and sadness while caffeine is capable of increasing serotonin levels, causing states of well-being : as long as, however, you don't overdo it!
It's not us who say it, but an analysis conducted by Harvard, read here !
4. Coffee causes insomnia if drunk in the evening hours 🌙
Let's always remember that it's not the time of day you drink coffee that causes insomnia, but the quantity you drink!
Why?
Like any drink (and any type of food), coffee passes through the stomach and must be digested to have any effect on our body, and therefore the amount of coffee we consume can lead to some negative effects.
5. Drinking coffee makes you age 👵
One of the most incorrect statements ever!
Coffee, in fact, is rich in antioxidants and some scientific studies have shown that their power is greater than that of vitamin C.
