A nutritionist explained what happens if you drink coffee more often than recommended.
The doctor warned about the unpleasant consequences of lovers of the invigorating drink.
Nutritionist Sofia Kovanova told NEWS.ru that frequent coffee consumption can lead to excess weight gain.
Drinks with added cow's or plant milk, as well as syrup, are especially dangerous.
It's all about the effect of sugar on the liver. Under its influence, the amino acid alanine is released. After that, you don't want to eat for about an hour.
What happens during this time? Sugar and insulin levels increase. As a result, all carbohydrates consumed with the drink turn into "empty calories". This leads to weight gain.
The nutritionist advises drinking coffee every six hours. It is during this period of time that caffeine is completely eliminated from the body.
If you drink more often, you can get not a boost of energy, but drowsiness. This is typical for people with an irritated nervous system.
Therefore, such people are advised not to get carried away with coffee, otherwise they may experience the opposite effect.
