Do we all start our day with coffee and drink an invigorating drink at the same time? What do experts say about whether it’s the same thing – drinking your first cup of coffee at 7-8 in the morning or, say, at 11? Scientists, based on research data, have told us when is the best time to drink coffee and why.
The AsapScience team did a thorough research and found out all the details. The production of cortisol, also known as the “stress hormone”, is associated with how the body naturally wakes up in the morning, and usually peaks between 8:00 and 9:00, which is when most people drink coffee.
Cortisol again reaches high levels between 12:00 and 13:00 and 17:30 and 18:30. And according to AsapScience, if you drink coffee during these hours, you reduce the effects of caffeine on the body. If you are the kind of person who wakes up very early or very late in the morningyours Peak cortisol levels are likely different from the average.
So every time you wake up, just wait a while before going to the coffee maker. Cortisol levels increase by about 50% as soon as you wake up, no matter when.
Science says: wait at least an hour after waking up to drink coffeeso that your body is in the right state to receive maximum benefits from caffeine.
