01. Right way to
brew your cup of coffee correctly
There is a lot of
contradiction among health experts regarding the consumption of caffeine. As
per science, drinking coffee has several health benefits. At the same time,
there is no denying that it has the potential to cause negative impacts on our
health. Coffee helps you stay alert, improves your mood, concentration level
and increases the efficiency of your brain. The coffee beans may also provide
you with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits that can cut down the risk
of several chronic diseases. You may enjoy all these health benefits only if
you brew your cup of coffee correctly.
Yes, you read it right!
You may be a pro in brewing your favourite cup of caffeine, but things can
easily go wrong if you are not cautious.
02. Excessive intake
Ideally, a person should not have more than 2 cups of coffee
in a day. Two 250 ml of caffeine does not harm you in any way. Going beyond
this can lead to abdominal pain, seizures, increased blood acid levels,
irregular or fast heartbeat, and reduced blood flow to the heart. All of these
factors over time can decrease your longevity. It can also increase your level
of anxiety, insomnia and make you feel tired all the time.
04. Too much added
sugar
Refined sugar contains only calories and zero nutrients. If
you are already addicted to caffeine and you load on refined sugar, then things
turn more harmful. Excessive sugar intake may lead to an energy crash, increase
the risk of obesity and even diabetes. Try to consume less sugar and if possible
replace it with healthy sweetener alternatives like jaggery. Even adding
cinnamon powder can add sweetener to your coffee.
