Coffee not only helps you stay awake but also has the effect of supporting metabolism, but this is often overlooked by many people. In which, dark coffee is more beneficial than diluted milk coffee, and lightly roasted coffee is better for health than deeply roasted coffee.
Coffee contains a lot of chlorogenic acid - a compound that helps reduce sugar absorption after meals, supports the body to use sugar more effectively and limits fat accumulation. This substance also has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, helps stabilize blood sugar, improve insulin sensitivity, and contributes to protecting cardiovascular system and reducing the risk of metabolic diseases.
However, the more deeply roasted coffee, the lower the amount of chlorogenic acid. Therefore, if you drink coffee for health benefits and not just for the taste, you should prioritize lightly roasted coffee.
In addition, adding more sugar, cream, condensed milk or syrup will significantly reduce the benefits of coffee. To drink coffee that is good for health, the most suitable choice is still black coffee or coffee with very little milk added.
