What is the fact that coffee draws water from the body and should be compensated after consuming it?
The caffeine in coffee has a diuretic effect, but it's time
Some believe that coffee has a diuretic effect due to the caffeine present in it, which requires those who drink it to drink a cup of water afterwards to compensate. How true is this belief?
The German Dietetic Association explained that it is not harmful to drink a glass of water after a cup of coffee, but this is not necessary, for many people, coffee contributes significantly to their total daily water intake.
It is counted in the fluid balance, just like any other drink, for example a cup of juice or a cup of tea.
It is true that the caffeine in coffee has a diuretic effect, and both the amount of caffeine and the frequency of coffee consumption affect this, but this effect is temporary and less pronounced with regular consumption of coffee.
Due to its stimulating effect on the heart and circulatory system, coffee should not be used to quench thirst, or to replace mineral water, drinking water and other low-calorie drinks, however, there is nothing to prevent moderate consumption of up to four cups of coffee per day. .
