It is possible that at some point you have done it: at any time you asked yourself what would be the best time, or the best time of day to drink a cup of coffee ?. It is possible that you know at what time it would not be so recommended, especially if the effects of caffeine prevent you from falling asleep and resting properly (in this case you know that it is not a very good idea to drink coffee later in the afternoon). Usually it is very common in many houses that, after having woke up in the morning, we prepare ourselves a cup of well-loaded coffee. The objective? Espabilarnos and stimnos in order to diminish the sensation of drowsiness, nevertheless this practice is not the one indicated to take advantage to the maximum the benefits that gives us the coffee. Why? Very simple: in the morning, especially between 8 and 9 in the morning, the hormone cortisol is in the highest peaks, so that when we get up we have enough stimulation thanks to the action of this natural hormone. The result is more than evident: if after coffee has practically not noticed its effects is due to the effect of caffeine is less than that exerted by this hormone, so that already your body is sufficiently stimulated and actually Do not need coffee to 'wake up'.
So what's the best time of day to drink my cup of coffee?
If you need to drink your cup of coffee in the morning, it is best to do it two or three hours after getting up. This way you will enjoy the stimulating qualities of this natural drink.
On the other hand, there are also certain times of the day when it would be more advisable to drink coffee:
Between 9:30 and 11:30 in the morning.
After lunch, from 13 noon.
This is because, although cortisol is in the highest levels between 8 and 9 am, also during the day there are some peaks of this hormone considered as secondary: they arise mainly between 12 and 13 noon, and between 17:30 and 18:30
Of course, remember that if you need to stimulate but do not want to drink coffee or just do not want to abuse him it is best to go out. Natural light itself is an excellent way to stimulate the production of cortisol by your body. The reason is that light is the main synchronizer of our circadian rhythms, making it an excellent option to stimulate the production of cortisol and thus increase our alertness.
