JAKARTA – Drinking coffee in the morning is indeed effective in making the body fresher and eliminating drowsiness. But some people avoid drinking coffee in the morning because it is believed to have a bad effect on health, especially the digestive system.
For those of you who are still afraid to drink coffee in the morning, don’t worry. Because there are some healthy tips for drinking coffee in the morning. What are they?
Drink a glass of water
Before starting the day with a cup of coffee in the morning, it’s good to drink water first. The reason is that coffee has a diuretic property that can trigger fluid loss. For this reason, drinking a glass of water can help you stay hydrated.
Avoid artificial sweeteners.
Quoted from the Mayoclinic website, a study states that a person who consumes artificial sweeteners excessively will increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, obesity, and stroke. So, avoid added sugar or use it sparingly.
Sugar allowance
If you still want to add sugar to a cup of coffee, then it is recommended to use a sugar spoon as a measure so as not to be excessive. The minimum amount of measure is half a teaspoon and a maximum of two teaspoons.
The American Heart Association says the recommended daily intake of sugar is six teaspoons.
By using the measure, you can know how much sugar is used to make coffee. So avoid excessive sugar consumption.
Add spices
Some people find this method strange. Because, basically drinking coffee is not mixed with anything. But, it doesn’t hurt to add spices such as cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg. This is because it not only gives the taste and aroma of coffee, but also increases the antioxidants in it.
Use filtered water
Even though the water used to make coffee has been boiled first, it does not necessarily mean that the water is clean from the mixture of heavy metals contained in the water pipe.
In addition, tap water also contains a lot of chlorine disinfectants that are harmful to the body in the long term. Filter the water first before brewing it with coffee to get better quality and of course healthier.
Use filter paper
Coffee that has been made may contain cafestol and kahweol substances that can increase cholesterol levels in the blood. Filtering coffee using a filter paper can get rid of these harmful substances and still maintain the caffeine and antioxidants in it.
