/Lin Xiuru In recent years, various cafes have mushroomed, and the coffee sold in convenience stores is easy to buy, and everyone has a cup. Thus, in Taiwan Province Province, drinking coffee seems to have become a habit that many people can't quit. However, when you raise your coffee cup and prepare to finish it in one gulp, do you often hear the voices of relatives and friends warning you: "Wait a minute, do you know that drinking too much coffee will hurt your liver and kidney?" However, is drinking too much coffee really bad? However, we can see that the incidence of kidney and liver diseases in westerners is much lower than that in Taiwan Province province?

What is the truth? Dr. Li Bingying, who won the Outstanding Pediatrician Award in Asia, uncovered the truth for us in his book "52 cards to explain medical myths" and got justice for the coffee that was constantly stigmatized. It turns out that drinking coffee in moderation is not only harmless to the body, but also a very natural antioxidant, which is beneficial to protect the kidneys, skin, large intestine and * * *.

The antioxidant effect of coffee can protect the liver.

When it comes to oxidation, the first thing that comes to mind is aging. This statement is familiar, but it also has its medical basis.

When the human body is inflamed, many oxidation reactions will occur in the body. On the one hand, it will destroy diseased cells, on the other hand, it will accidentally injure originally healthy cells. So in the final analysis, this chronic oxidation has actually caused many major diseases, especially diseases related to aging, such as arteriosclerosis and cancer, which are inseparable from the oxidation reaction.

However, what we don't know is that coffee actually has a great antioxidant effect!

In 2005, the most classic international journal of gastroenterology, Gastroenterology, pointed out that coffee can reduce the degree of liver inflammation and injury. If you drink more than two cups a day, the incidence of chronic diseases will even drop by about 60%, especially for patients with alcohol addiction, obesity and diabetes. It can be seen that the international mainstream medicine runs counter to the views of the general public in Taiwan Province Province. It believes that drinking "moderate" coffee will not only harm the liver, but even protect it.

How much coffee is "appropriate"?

According to the announcement on the website of the Ministry of Health of China, the recommended daily intake of caffeine is 500mg, which means no more than 5 cups of black coffee every day. Besides these five cups, don't drink other caffeinated drinks to avoid discomfort caused by excessive caffeine.

Reminder: The best time to drink coffee is one hour after breakfast. It is also worth noting that drinking coffee is actually a good time. Wu, CEO of Taiwan Province Nutrition Foundation, suggested in his book Eat Well and Be in a Good Mood that the best time to drink coffee is one hour after breakfast.

Drinking it immediately after meals will easily hinder the absorption of "minerals", which are important nutrients for synthesizing brain nerve conduction substances; Drinking when you have no energy is easy to increase stress. The hormone cortisol is actually the killer of brain cells.

Therefore, tasting coffee one hour after breakfast is the best time of the day. At this time, drinking will not hinder the absorption of minerals too much, while cortisol is secreted vigorously in the morning and will not soar sharply because of drinking coffee.
