The Ugly Truth About Coffee’s Effects On Your Body

coffee is one of the most consumed beverages in the world some people drink it daily some people drink it five times a day today we're going to be talking about all the effects that it has on your body that you would not expect be I'm a little coffee hyped most people associate coffee with the sudden nurge to go to the bathroom and that is true for some people the reality is that coffee affects our GI systems differently and for some it actually caus constipation as opposed to diarrhea and we're quick to blame caffeine for this urge to go but the reality is we have research showing that decaf coffee has similar effects leading us to believe that it's actually the result of the secretion of the hormone named gastric which actually promotes digestion coffee can absolutely wreck your ability to sleep throughout the day your body produces more and more adenosine which actually binds to receptors generating a sleepy response from your body the longer that you're awake the more adenosine the more binding the sleepier you are now coffee comes in with its caffeine content and starts blocking those adenosine receptors thereby making you feel less sleepy thereby making it harder to fall asleep so intended effect can actually become a negative effect the caffeine can actually also impact our circadian rhythm through its effects on melatonin which can confuse her internal clock it's almost like having a form of jet lag without any of the fun of travel I have a large coffee with a double shot of anxiety please you can add all sorts of tasty things to your coffee like cream sugar or any of this of course unless you're drinking decaf your coffee is also loaded with caffeine and while caffeine can be useful in waking you up and keeping you stimulated it can also cause a jittery sensation in your body causing you to be anxious or sweaty even that's because it activates the fight ORF flight response in the body known as the sympathetic nervous system research has even shown that overdoing caffeine by a small amount can increase Baseline anxiety and the likelihood of panic attacks coffee can absolutely impact your weight as black coffee is nearly calorie free and actually kicks up your metabolic rate and in fact as caffeine stimulates the production of adrenaline it also decreases the level of gin the hormone that makes you feel hungry and your stomach growl grin grow but this effect holds true even for decaf because it has been shown to increase the hormone peptide y y which actually makes you feel satiated or full and for intermittent fasting fans like myself research has shown that having a black cup of coffee does not break your intermittent fast and actually keeps the majority of intermittent fasting benefits there this means that black coffee can truly be used to Aid in your weight loss efforts cheat code Vibes coffee makes your hands feel cold because coffee stimulates a small small glands that sit on top of your kidneys called the adrenals they secrete adrenaline and a stress hormone known as cortisol one of the main effects of adrenaline is to constrict blood vessels which are not of utmost importance to your survival that means all the small blood vessels furthest away from the midline of your body like in your fingertips and your toes they start getting vasoconstricted they start getting tighter which temporarily decreases some of the circulation to your hands making them feel cold and look pale caffeine is one of the most studied performance enhancing drugs peeds yeah why because it works and has been shown to have significant benefits as long as you don't overuse it Focus endurance strength speed have all been tested and founds have been boosted with low to moderate doses of caffeine 60 to 90 minutes before workouts and competitions fact this effect is so great that the NCAA has actually set a caffeine limit for its athletes they restrict the amount of caffeine in an athlete system by limiting concentrations to roughly 500 Mig of caffeine or several cups of coffee it's no surprise that coffee does raise the heart rate and blood pressure temporarily due to the secretion of epinephrine adrenaline the interesting part is that the effect has been found to be true for Decap coffee as well so another ingredient can potentially be responsible here it's also important to note that long-term consumption does not seem to cause hypertension the thinking is that those who consistently consume coffee actually build up a protective tolerance to it it will say though that I have treat individuals who have gotten their blood pressure under better control by removing caffeine from their diet entirely just saying removing coffee is a double-edged sword cuz it could cause withdrawal symptoms as early as 12 to 24 hours the thought behind caffeine withdrawal headaches is that the blood vessels in the brain which normally are kept tight and conried due to the action of the caffeine start to swell and cause pain the ironic part of this is that caffeine is actually found in some common over-the-counter medications like eted and migraine is coffee dehydrating this one is fiercely argued on online forums some say yes some say no here's the truth coffee is a mild diuretic it makes you pee more makes you excrete more fluids however if you're drinking a full cup of coffee there's fluids in there so it replaces the fluids you lose right yes however if you're drinking little espressos or espresso shots in your coffee and you're getting a ton of caffeine in there you're not replacing the Lost fluid and then in that case it can be somewhat dehydrating that being said if you're not overdoing it it's usually not enough to become a problem my dear acid reflux suffers coffee can absolutely impact your acid secretion first of all we need to stop with this acid base Obsession that is developed online drinking electrolyte reduced water alkaline water is just complete nonsense the reason coffee makes acid reflux worse is much simpler than that it is proven to stimulate gastrin release which increases gastric acid secretion and this happens because of the bitter taste of coffee that activates a type two bitter taste receptors in your mouth so the bitter taste of coffee makes your body secrete more acid coffee actually messes with your medications and it interacts with them in one of three ways first it affects the absorption of the medications and Studies have actually shown that common over-the-counter meds like ketoprofen which is very similar to ibuprofen and paracetamol which is similar to Tylenol are significantly impacted by coffee intake the second is through the disruption of the metabolism of the medications through enzymes for example the blood levels of clopine lithium warrin and several anti-depressant drugs actually were increased after the ingestion of coffee making them more potent and potentially increasing toxicity and the third is through the disruption of excretion of the drugs basically how long they stick around in fact we've seen increased excretion of minerals like calcium magnesium sodium chloride and even water soluble vitamins like vitamin B think about that you drinking coffee you're taking your meds and it's all going a muck coffee makes you pee here's the truth about holding your pee check this out now it's a must watch as always stay happy and healthy but watch this there's a ton of great comments and questions in here whoo [Music]
