Experts Suggest Hot Coffee Can Cool Body in Summer

Kathmandu. Generally, hot beverages are consumed more in the winter season. It is believed to keep the body warm. But experts say that drinking hot coffee in the summer season can also be beneficial for health.

 Although many people think that drinking hot coffee in summer will make the body hotter, in the right situation, it can help the body feel cool.

According to experts, when hot beverages are consumed, the blood vessels in the body widen. This increases blood circulation to the skin and helps the body's internal heat to escape. Also, after drinking hot coffee, there is a slight sweat. As sweat dries and evaporates, the body naturally feels cool.

Pay attention to these things when consuming coffee

According to a study by the University of Ottawa, the effect of hot coffee is effective only when the environment helps sweat to dry easily. If the weather is very humid, sweat does not dry quickly and instead of providing relief, the body may feel even hotter. Therefore, the benefit of hot coffee depends on the weather and the body's condition. Hot coffee can be more useful in dry weather, while it is appropriate to take precautions in very humid conditions.

What is the right time to drink coffee in summer?

The time of drinking coffee is also considered important. Freshly made hot coffee contains plenty of antioxidants, which benefit health. It is considered better to drink coffee after breakfast or some time later than to drink it on an empty stomach. This can help reduce the effect of acidity and stress-related hormones.

How much coffee is appropriate to drink per day?

It is good to consume coffee in limited quantities during the summer season. One to two cups of coffee per day are considered sufficient. Also, it is equally important to drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration and adopt a balanced lifestyle.
