Everyone knows that coffee affects heart health. And in hot weather, when the body is already struggling, an extra cup of coffee is unlikely to do any good.
Is it even possible to drink coffee when the thermometer rises to +30 or even higher?
The answers to these questions were collected by the publication " DoctorPiter ".
Doctors recommend taking into account the following tips and rules.
1. It is necessary to reduce the amount of coffee consumed in hot weather. If in doubt, you can limit yourself to 1-2 cups per day.
2. Drinking coffee after eating reduces the diuretic effect.
3. Add milk or cream, which softens the effects of caffeine and also reduces the risk of stomach irritation.
4. You can add ice to your coffee, which will reduce the risk of overheating.
5. To avoid dehydration when drinking coffee, you need to drink more drinking water.
At the same time, it is necessary to monitor your well-being, because not everyone can drink coffee in such weather.
Who shouldn't drink coffee in the heat?
It is important to remember that caffeine can cause increased heart rate, anxiety, restlessness, and shortness of breath.
Therefore, at high air temperatures, when the heart and blood vessels are already under stress, additional stimulation in the form of a cup of coffee can worsen your well-being.
This means that patients with coronary heart disease, people after a heart attack or stroke, those with high blood pressure and arrhythmia should avoid drinking coffee in the heat.
