Does coffee give person extra energy?
Coffee, contrary to popular belief, does not actually give people extra energy, according to nutritionist Pooja Makhija.
In her Instagram account, the specialist said that coffee only takes energy on loan: that is, caffeine, like any stimulant, simply uses up the body's resources.
According to Makhija, this happens because caffeine has a similar structure to adenosine, which is accumulated in the body during the day and causes a feeling of sleepiness. When a person drinks coffee, the adenosine receptors in the brain are flooded with caffeine, and this gives a temporary illusion of alertness. The brain needs adenosine, so it begins to create new receptors, which are filled with adenosine or caffeine during the day if a person drinks a lot of coffee.
According to Makhija, this is why some people will suffer from insomnia if they drink coffee during the day, while others fall asleep peacefully after a cup of drink - it all depends on which substance has entered the receptors.
To get a healthy energy boost during the day, the nutritionist advises not to drink coffee, but to have a snack.
