Before deciding on that first cup of coffee in the morning, you should review your routine to take advantage of the benefits of this delicious beverage. According to neuroscientist Steven Miller from the Military University of Health Sciences in the United States, the best time to drink coffee is between 9:30 and 11:30. As published in a British journal, it is explained that during this time frame, cortisol hormone levels, related to our state of alertness, drop. Consuming coffee at the peak time can lead to caffeine resistance, requiring higher doses to achieve the same effect. According to the specialist, cortisol production is strongly related to alertness levels, and the cortisol peak for a 24-hour rhythm occurs between 8 AM and 9 AM approximately. One of the fundamental principles of pharmacology is to use medications when they are needed. Otherwise, one can develop tolerance to a drug administered in equal doses. The professional adds that hormone levels are generally high shortly after waking up, but start to decline an hour later. Therefore, one should consider the time a person wakes up to determine the best time for coffee intake. It is worth mentioning that, according to the specialist, cortisol levels also rise around lunch and between 5:30 PM and 6:30 PM. Other benefits of caffeine We could say that consuming the right amount of caffeine helps us to:
