Below is the body's reaction when drinking coffee at different time frames. Read on to find out what is the best time frame for you!
Before 9am
Many people have the habit of drinking coffee early in the morning to wake up, sometimes even drinking coffee without eating breakfast. Meanwhile, in the morning after waking up, the body's organs are still not functioning stably, and the stress hormone cortisol is still increasing.
Therefore, if you consume a cup of coffee at this time, it can push your body's stress level to excess. Your body is always in a state of restlessness, nervousness, and anxiety, so it will be harder to concentrate on everything.
10am - 11:30am
If you are a coffee drinker, you can enjoy a cup of coffee at this time. According to experts, around 10 - 11:30 is the time when stress hormones decrease, so it is very safe for you to drink a cup of coffee. In particular, at this time, many of you often start to feel tired, sluggish and sleepy after a work session, so enjoying a cup of coffee will help you stay awake at the right time.
12pm - 1pm
This is the time when cortisol levels in the body increase again, so you should not drink coffee at this time. In particular, this is often the time to enjoy lunch, so you should not drink coffee at the same time or right after a meal. Because coffee can prevent the body from absorbing iron in food and can lead to anemia.
1pm – 5pm
After 1:00 p.m., cortisol levels begin to decrease. Therefore, if you feel sleepy or drowsy, you can drink coffee at this time. A cup of coffee can help you stay awake, concentrate and complete your work more effectively. However, if you are not used to drinking coffee, you should only drink it before 3:00 p.m. Don't drink it too late because it can affect your night's sleep.
After 5pm
This is the time frame when you should not drink coffee. Because drinking coffee after 5pm can greatly affect sleep quality. Caffeine in coffee will make your body queasy, restless, difficult to fall asleep and will not sleep well.
The predictable consequence is that the next day you are very tired and unable to complete anything well. Therefore, don't trade 1 cup of coffee for a whole precious day. After 5pm, it's best not to drink coffee.
