Among millions of people around the world, coffee has become the morning elixir par excellence.
Its benefits as a stimulant make coffee a perfect ally to face contemporary daily life – especially now that we live more rapidly than ever in history..
However, according to experts, It seems that the best thing would be not to ingest this daily 'potion' before 9:30 in the morning.
In the podcast specialized in science and gastronomy, Gastropod, They interviewed Steven Miller, a chronopharmacologist – who studies the brain's reaction to different substances –, who assured that one should wait until that time to consume coffee.
According to Miller, The reason is because the level of cortisol in the body (the hormone that regulates stress and blood sugar) reaches its maximum between 8 and the 9 in the morning, so, originally, does not require caffeine before that time.
Subsequently, for example at 9:30, then the body perfectly receives the injection of the stimulant and helps it prolong its state of alert.
Remember that when deciding what substances or foods to eat, and at what times of the day to do it, It is essential to consider the natural biorhythms of your body, in order to build a beneficial dialogue between what happens outside and what happens inside you.
