Coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the world. It gives additional energy, improves physical activity and stimulates bowel function, but it can interfere with sleep if you drink it at the wrong time.
Experts from verywell health recommend drinking coffee:
60 minutes before training. Caffeine helps increase endurance and physical activity.
After breakfast. The drink stimulates digestion, helping with short-term problems with bowel movements. However, people with diarrhea should drink coffee with caution.
No later than 8 hours before bedtime. For example, if you go to bed at 10:00 PM, you should stop drinking coffee after 2:00 PM so as not to interfere with falling asleep. People who are sensitive to caffeine should be especially careful.
Earlier, scientists also discovered an unexpected effect of coffee: it can increase the resistance of intestinal bacteria to antibiotics, which potentially affects the effectiveness of treatment.
Thus, in order for coffee to bring maximum benefit and not interfere with health, it is important to consider the time of its consumption and individual sensitivity to caffeine.
