For years now we thought we understood coffee \u2013 when do drink it and how often to drink it<\/strong>. It’s drug after all, and we should be fully aware of how and when to use it properly.<\/p>\n If you are a late-riser\u00a0or prefer to take your coffee when you get into work, rather than before, then you are a genius! If you drink it before 9 am,<\/strong> which most people do, then you have some retraining to do…<\/p>\n If you want to get the best effects from your cup of coffee<\/a>, you have to understand how caffeine works and why it is best to drink your coffee after 9 am.<\/strong> AsapSCIENCE have put together a great video about consuming coffee,\u00a0and based on research they reveal why you shouldn’t have your coffee until 9 am<\/strong>… Here’s the list:<\/p>\n Your circadian rhythm, or your internal clock<\/strong>, is probably the most important factor in gauging coffee and its effects. This clock decides when we are awake and when we are sleepy by releasing a hormone called cortisol throughout the day and night<\/a>.<\/p>\n This regulates how awake we are, it usually releases the hormone between 8 am and 9 am, noon and 1 pm and 5.30 pm and 6.30 pm.<\/p>\n These studies<\/a> have found that consuming coffee during peak hours of cortisol release will reduce the drug’s effect and build up a tolerance to it.<\/strong> This means if you are drinking coffee<\/a> during these peak hours, you may find yourself reaching for a second or third cup before lunchtime to feel the effect, which is very bad for you.<\/p>\n Well, the best times to drink coffee would be anytime after 9 am to noon, and between 1 pm and 5.30pm.<\/strong> It is not recommended to drink coffee after 6.30pm s you may find it difficult to sleep later that night.<\/p>\n There is some research to suggest our cortisol peaks react to sunlight, however, most research indicates that when you wake up your cortisol levels rise by 50%, and so drinking coffee an hour after you wake up<\/strong> is probably your best bet.<\/p>\n If you wake up at 7 am and leave for work at 8 am, the best time to drink your coffee is at 9 am. As your cortisol levels<\/a> will be peaking for the first four hours of your morning<\/strong>, 50% when you wake up, and at your usual peak time between 8 am and 9 am.<\/p>\n After lunch, you may feel like you need a pick-me-up, and the best time would be to grab an after-lunch coffee after 1 pm, to optimise your use of this underestimated drug!<\/p>\nThe Natural Regulator ~ Your body clock<\/h4>\n
