A drink of the gods or harm? Coffee with milk: caloric content

If you watch your figure, if you want to stay young and healthy, then, of course, you pay attention to the calorie content of the foods that are on your table.

The same goes for drinks. Until now, experts argue, is it useful for the body of coffee, is it worth adding sugar and milk to it? It is worthwhile to carefully consider this and decide whether to change your gastronomic habits or not.

Almost three quarters of the people of the globe react to such a product as milk, some gastric disorders. This is not due to the fact that milk is harmful. The whole mystery of this unpleasant phenomenon is hidden in the fact that in adults, the level of production of lactase enzymes, which is necessary for the assimilation of milk sugar, or lactose, is often reduced.

Lucky those people who can digest milk. The fact is that a liter of this drink can compensate for the daily requirement of an adult organism in vitamins A and B.

Since milk is also rich in calcium, it is recommended for older people and young children: the bones will stay strong, no osteoporosis is bad for them.

No one will argue with the fact that coffee is a rich source of caffeine. In addition to it, coffee contains some other active substances, among which nicotinic acid is of great benefit to the body.

All scientists - physicians still can not come to a common opinion: coffee is useful or still it does more harm.

One thing is clear: coffee is washing away the beneficial calcium from the body. How can we cope with such a problem? The answer does not make you wait: in coffee you can add milk. However, there is a double-edged sword. The fact is that, according to some dieticians, it is harmful to mix coffee with milk. Caloric content of this drink is much higher than the calorie content of regular coffee. The situation is complicated if you drink coffee several times a day.

So, if we talk about ordinary coffee, its calorie content will not exceed 2-5 kilocalories. If you add milk to coffee, then its calorie content will increase to 37 kilocalories.

As you can see, coffee has a small calorie content. It rises if you mix coffee with various additives, such as milk, sugar or cream.

If, nevertheless, we return to the question of the usefulness of coffee, then we can say that its active ingredient is nothing but caffeine. This substance is a powerful stimulant. That's why coffee is best to drink in the morning: so you can very quickly wake up and cheer up.

Coffee with milk, the calorie content of which does not hurt your figure, contains a lot of polyphenols, and is also an excellent source of antioxidants. However, it is important to use it in moderation.

Do you like coffee with milk and sugar? Caloric content of such a drink, as you understand, increases to 63 kilocalories. Everything will depend on how many spoons of sugar you put in a cup.

Coffee with milk, the calorie content of which does not pose a particular threat, conceals a more significant danger: an increase in blood pressure. That's why people who suffer from hypertension are not recommended to drink it.

In addition, the so-called purine dependence is known to mankind. The fact is that coffee with milk, the caloric content of which is increased due to the addition of sugar or another sweetener, contains theobromine and theophylline. Their use causes a constant need for them. This dependence is somewhat reminiscent of alcohol.

Fortunately, no dependence can not cause a porridge on the milk. The calorie content of such a dish will not be high, and therefore it will not bring any damage to your figure.

The use of this porridge is obvious: it is nutritious, useful and saturates the body with all the necessary substances and vitamins necessary for life.

I want to note that the porridge is the most optimal breakfast not only for the student and student, but also for an adult. One portion of it will be enough to go well to study and work with a well-fed and happy mood.
