Morning Coffee Before Breakfast: New Study Reveals Impact on Blood Glucose Levels

The Unseen Influence of Morning Coffee on Blood Sugar Levels

A recent study by the University of Bath suggests that delaying your morning coffee until after breakfast could be a smart move for managing your glucose levels more effectively. While many of us reach for a cup of coffee first thing in the morning, especially after a night of disrupted sleep, this habit could be impacting our body's ability to properly process sugars from our first meal of the day. By simply adjusting the timing of our coffee consumption, we might better support our metabolic health.

Nutrition and health coach Lindsay DeAguila shared with us the best times to drink coffee and maximize it's heath benefits:

 

Consume coffee after you've been awake about 1.5 hours, and to stop within 10 hours of going to bed. This allows your body to take advantage of the benefits of caffeine without negatively affecting your sleep.

 

The second tip is to have a cup of coffee just after a brainstorming/work session to increase retention rate.

 

If you feel caffeine isn't giving you the boost it used to, try taking a 24 hour break. You'll certainly feel the rush with your next cup of coffee!
