The popular morning ritual may negatively impact energy levels and overall health
Everyone has their own preferred morning rituals, but experts have warned that a common habit enjoyed by many could be bad for health. Having a cup of coffee to help wake up every day is something many caffeine fans say they can't function without.
They also revealed the best times to drink it that aren't first thing in the morning, as well as some alternatives that won't disrupt your rhythm. As reported by the Liverpool Echo, Rex Isap, sleep expert and CEO at Happy Beds said: "During the day, your brain produces a chemical called adenosine. Essentially, this promotes sleep as you are awake longer, it builds up and helps you feel sleepy.
"When we wake, our cortisol levels are at their peak. Cortisol, often associated with stress, enhances your alertness levels. So, drinking caffeine while your cortisol levels are already high can work against this or even help with gaining a tolerance for caffeine." If you still want to enjoy a hot drink in the morning that's not packed with caffeine, there are two alternatives experts recommend that have their own health benefits.
