Coffee is one of the most popular drinks that people love and choose to use every day. Thanks to its caffeine content – a central nervous system stimulant – coffee helps block the activity of adenosine, a compound that causes drowsiness, thereby helping users feel alert and focused.
Some people have the habit of enjoying coffee right after breakfast, while others prefer to drink it in the middle of the day or even right after waking up.
However, the ideal time to drink coffee is around mid-morning, when the body has partially digested breakfast. Drinking at this time will reduce the risk of stomach upset or feeling full. Drinking coffee right after waking up, when the stomach is empty, can lead to coffee intoxication or acid reflux.
In addition, even if you have had breakfast, drinking coffee too early is not a good choice. Because in the early morning, the body produces high levels of the hormone cortisol – a hormone that naturally increases alertness. If you take caffeine at this time, the effect will not be as expected and in the long run, it can cause the body to adapt, creating a problem of “coffee tolerance”.
Therefore, you should drink coffee when the amount of cortisol begins to decrease (when the body is less alert) – around 9 am – to make the best use of the stimulating effect of caffeine.
However, besides that, choosing the right time to drink coffee depends on your physical condition, ability to adapt to caffeine and personal habits. Listen to your body to determine the most suitable time for you.
