Do you drink coffee in the morning? See why you're making a WRONG...
Coffee is a great drink, it has many good properties and I like it very much, but most of us use it in the wrong way.
Our body secretes cortisol in the morning - the stress hormone. It is he who wakes us up in the morning and motivates us to act, not coffee... Our ancestors did not have coffee. They must have left the cave without her.
If you drink coffee right away, you accustom your receptors to the fact that they get "in the mouth" from two sides - coffee and cortisol. Physiology is enough to get you started, let it work!
If you drink coffee in the morning, then you have a reunion in a while... What do you do then? Oh yeah, coffee again, right? You artificially raise your energy level and then you have to give it back - you're sleepy, tired, etc...
But how am I supposed to do it if I don't function without coffee in the morning 😨?
Well, in the morning you wait these 2 hours before making coffee (more or less, at the beginning you can gradually wait 30 minutes, 40 minutes, an hour, you don't have to wait 2 hours right away). Make the change gradually.
Instead of drinking coffee right away, go outside. Even for 5 minutes. Movement will energize you more.
You will see over time that you are more awake, active and mobilized in the morning. Then you get yourself a cup of coffee and you'll be fine.
To sum up:
- We should wait about 2 hours after waking up before we reach for coffee. First, you can start with 20, 30, 40, 60 minutes after getting up, gradually moving this time.
- The first 2 hours after getting out of bed is cortisol and norepinephrine energizing you. Let them work, don't flood your body with coffee.
- To wake up in the morning, drink a glass of water, even go outside for a moment (if you go to work, school, you already have it). You can also move around for a while at home.
- After that, you will drink coffee and thus prolong your productivity and presence of mind.
And how do you use coffee and how do you feel thanks to it?
