We’ve rounded up the best coffee hacks and other interesting information all about your favorite beverage, coffee!
Read on to learn how you are drinking your coffee all wrong and of course, how to fix that! These coffee hacks and interesting coffee facts will change your life!
1. THE BEST TIME TO DRINK COFFEE IS BETWEEN 10:00 AM- 11:30 AM AND 2:00PM-5:00PM.
You may instantly be questioning this as someone who can’t function before your morning cup of coffee, but this comes down to science. You want to drink your coffee when your cortisol levels are low (or dip). Cortisol naturally makes you feel alert and awake, so you want the extra boost from coffee when your levels are low.
2. YOU CAN USE COFFEE AS A MEMORY AID.
There is research that suggests you drink 200 mg of coffee after you learn something to better remember it.
3. PAIR COFFEE WITH A NAP TO GET EVEN MORE ENERGY.
Have you ever heard of drinking coffee before you nap? You can actually get more energy out of it if you time it appropriately. Drink a cup of coffee and then nap for 20 minutes or so. (Don’t go longer than 30 minutes though as this is when you become groggy!)
4. DRINK COFFEE BEFORE YOU WORK OUT TO IMPROVE ENDURANCE.
Try drinking a cup of coffee before you work out. Caffeine helps burn fat as energy and improves endurance.
5. AVOID WATERY ICED COFFEE WITH COFFEE ICE CUBES.
If you want iced coffee but don’t like the watery taste when the ice melts, make your own coffee ice cubes. Simply pour coffee into ice cube trays, freeze, and use those next time you want a cup of iced coffee. As the “ice” melts, you just get more coffee!
