The truth behind coffee, intelligence and weight

Abstract: Recent studies have revealed the mysterious relationship between coffee, intelligence and weight. The study found that moderate coffee drinking can improve intellectual performance, while excessive drinking may have a negative impact. The effect on weight varies from person to person, depending on their lifestyle and coffee drinking. Moderate coffee intake can bring benefits, but it is necessary to control the amount of drinking to maintain physical and mental health.

Coffee, a popular drink among the general public, has always been accompanied by various sayings. Some say that drinking coffee regularly will make you stupid, while others say that drinking coffee will make you fat. Are these sayings true? Today we will take a deeper look at them.

The scientific basis for the saying that "drinking coffee regularly will make you stupid" is not sufficient. The main ingredient in coffee is caffeine, which has a certain stimulant effect and can improve people's mental state and attention in the short term. Many studies have shown that moderate intake of caffeine can improve work efficiency and reaction ability. Caffeine can also promote gastric acid secretion and help digest fat in food, thereby improving digestion. The saying that "making you stupid" seems to be far from the actual effect of coffee.

Why is there such a misunderstanding? This may be related to individual differences. Some people may experience symptoms such as accelerated heartbeat, insomnia, and anxiety after consuming a large amount of caffeine. These discomforts may affect their work and study performance, but this does not mean that coffee itself will make people stupid, but it is a manifestation of excessive or maladaptive consumption. We need to pay attention that the intake of any substance should be moderate.

Let's discuss another question: Will drinking coffee regularly make you fat? Coffee itself does not cause weight gain. The caffeine in coffee can stimulate metabolism and help break down and consume fat, but why do some people gain weight after drinking coffee? This is mainly because many people tend to add a lot of sugar or creamer and other high-calorie ingredients when drinking coffee. These are the culprits for weight gain. Caffeine stimulates appetite and makes people more likely to feel hungry. If you consume too many calories at this time, you will undoubtedly gain weight.

How can you enjoy the deliciousness of coffee without gaining weight? It is wise to choose low-sugar or sugar-free coffee, reduce the addition of high-calorie ingredients such as creamer, and choose low-fat milk or plant milk as an alternative. Controlling the intake of coffee is also key. Excessive intake of caffeine may cause problems such as accelerated heart rate and insomnia, affecting physical health and metabolism. Maintaining a good work and rest habit and moderate exercise are also important factors in controlling weight.

In addition to discussing the relationship between coffee, intelligence and weight, we also need to realize that everyone's physical condition and living habits are different. When choosing whether to drink coffee or how to drink coffee, you should make decisions based on your actual situation. If you have any doubts or discomfort, it is best to consult a professional doctor or nutritionist for advice.

As a beverage, drinking coffee in moderation will not make people stupid or fat. We should look at the pros and cons of coffee rationally, learn to drink it scientifically, and let coffee become a part of our lives rather than dominate our entire lives. While enjoying the pleasure brought by coffee, we should also pay attention to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
