For many people, the day can't start without a hot cup of coffee – even in the middle of the scorching summer heat. But is it safe and healthy to drink coffee when the temperatures are high?
According to nutrition experts, the answer is yes, with a few caveats. Some myths about coffee – particularly the idea that it causes dehydration – have been debunked by recent studies, which show that moderate coffee consumption does not significantly affect the body's hydration levels. However, maintaining a balance between coffee and water consumption is essential to avoid the negative effects of heat.
The benefits of drinking coffee in summer
Coffee continues to offer numerous benefits even during the hot season. It increases energy and concentration, thanks to caffeine, which stimulates the central nervous system. Also, a cup of coffee is often a social opportunity to spend time with friends or colleagues, while its various forms – from iced espresso to frappuccino – make it suitable even for the hottest days.
In terms of health, coffee contains antioxidants that help prevent chronic and neurodegenerative diseases. Moderate consumption has been linked to a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Risks and measures to be taken
However, experts also warn of potential disadvantages. Coffee can have a diuretic effect and contribute to the loss of body fluids – a factor that should be taken seriously during hot days. Also, hot coffee can increase body temperature and worsen the sensation of heat.
To avoid these consequences, it is advisable to accompany each cup of coffee with plenty of water and prefer its cold versions during the day. Dressing lightly, staying in the shade and avoiding prolonged exposure to the sun are additional measures to keep the body cool and hydrated.
In conclusion, coffee can still be part of your summer routine – as long as it's consumed with care and balanced with water and refreshment. That way, you can enjoy its energy without risking your health during the heat wave.
