Refreshment yes , non-hydration
A stimulant substance in coffee, caffeine acts as a kind of diuretic in the body. This is why, when the drink is consumed in excess, it can dehydrate.
However, nutritionist Daniela Abrahão explains that when it is cold, it helps to refresh:
"Every cold drink refreshes and as it has water in its composition, the coffee seems to moisturize, but this sensation is apparent and quick, for, just a few minutes after ingestion comes thirst. "
Five cups of coffee that do not weigh on the scale
Take up to five cups of coarse coffee daily or filtered does not change the levels of cholesterol (LDL and HDL) or triglycerides, and when ingested in conjunction with a balanced diet can help reduce weight.
This was the conclusion of a study by the nutrition department of Unifesp , who followed up for 60 weeks with 60 high cholesterol patients undergoing treatment in the university's Lipoid, Atherosclerosis and Vascular Biology Sector.
Weight reduction, body mass index (BMI) and abdominal circumference during this period was, on average, 1,5%. According to Rosana Perim Costa, nutritionist and author of the research, the way the Brazilian prepares coffee - in cloth strainer or paper filter - prevents the passage of fats from the grains, responsible for the increase of the bad cholesterol fraction (LDL) ).
"Caffeine, in addition to antioxidant action, also acts as a stimulant, boosting metabolism and helping to burn calories," says Rosana. "Coffee has very few calories and is thermogenic, so it activates the metabolism, accelerating the breakdown of fat, but if this coffee is sweetened with sugar, the calories will increase and you will gain weight," explains Daniela Abrahão.
