Our lifestyle, exercise patterns, sleep patterns, and the
food we eat can cause various changes in the body and affect our overall
well-being. As such, it is natural to have doubts and concerns about this,
especially about caffeine consumption and its effects on health.
Caffeine, which is considered a stimulant, is something
that most of us indulge in - several times a day - through drinks such as
coffee, tea, cocoa, and cola. So we turned to the experts to find out more
about how caffeine works in the body, whether it lasts for hours, and whether
it affects cholesterol levels.
On other hand Black coffee is a natural healer. There are
many people who end up weighing more due to excess water weight. Black coffee
helps decrease the extra water content in the body through frequent urination.
This method helps to shed those extra pounds without any threatening side effects.
However, this weight loss is temporary.
But first, what is cholesterol? Cholesterol is a substance
found in all cells of our body. Our body needs cholesterol to make hormones
like estrogen and testosterone, vitamin D, and it helps digest food. Animal
foods such as egg yolks, meat and cheese contain cholesterol, Dr. Rohini Patil,
nutritionist, CEO of Nutracy Lifestyle.
So, cholesterol is not bad for us. "But if we eat a
lot of fat, mostly bad fats like trans fat, then blood levels like LDL
(low-density lipoprotein) can rise, and HDL (high-density lipoprotein ) may
come down - otherwise that is not a good sign. , explained Sohini Banerjee,
Consultant Dietitian, Fortis Hospital and Kidney Institute, Kolkata.
