"Yay, I'm doing well" are probably the words that swirl through your head when you slide a piece of fruit or nutritional supplement into your giggle in the morning, followed by a cup of coffee.
But, does it make sense to take a piece of fruit or a dietary supplement in combination with caffeine??
The answer to this is very simple:
New.
Caffeine breaks down vitamins. In particularvitamin B andvitamin C. So you can make your meal as healthy as possible, but if caffeine is involved, your food will immediately become less nutritious. So wasted effort.
Vitamin B1 plays an important role in memory.Vitamin B2 On the other hand, it has an indispensable function in metabolism, respiration, healthy growth of skin, hair, nails and the formation of red blood cells.
Vitamin C is an important antioxidant, contributes to a healthy immune system and enhances iron absorption in the intestines. So, you know that again!
How it works?
Caffeine makes you pee a lot. When you urinate a lot, your body loses essential minerals. Also water-soluble vitamins likevitamin C.
In addition to having to pee a lot, caffeine ensures that you do not absorb certain vitamins and minerals at all. This mainly happens with iron andvitamin D. The more caffeine you drink, the more vitamin D absorption is prevented.
Another case of wasted effort.
