One of the nutritional tips for getting through the summer is to drink enough water. But with the sweltering heat and high temperatures, it’s important to get the right hydration<\/strong> from solid foods too.<\/span>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experts recommend drinking at least two litres of water a day and always carry a water bottle with you. They also recommend eating fruit to avoid dehydration and replenish the vitamins and minerals lost through sweating.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you are a true coffee lover<\/strong>, surely your biggest concern is whether you can drink coffee in summer.<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until a few years ago, there was a false myth that coffee and caffeinated beverages were responsible for dehydrating the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why many people still have doubts about drinking coffee in summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But can coffee really cause dehydration in the body?<\/em>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s see what doctors think about the consumption of caffeinated drinks in summer.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do doctors think about this?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Where do the doubts and false myths about Italy’s most popular beverage come from?<\/em>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to coffee studies conducted in the late 2000s, caffeine in high doses has a diuretic effect on the body.<\/strong> Therefore, drinking caffeinated beverages at a time of intense heat could cause dehydration.<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subsequent research has refuted these studies, stating that there is no link between coffee and dehydration.<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, taking caffeine in normal or moderate doses poses no risk.<\/strong><\/span> \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These studies have also looked at the effects of caffeine on sportsmen and women<\/strong>, who are at greater risk of becoming dehydrated through intense sweating.<\/span>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, even in this case, no negative effects were found. Quite the contrary! It was found that discontinuing coffee in regular users negatively affected the athletes’ performance.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cold coffee or hot coffee in summer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In order to get relief from the mugginess and not to worsen the hot feeling during the summer, many people decide to give up the pleasure of hot espresso coffee<\/a><\/strong>. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In summer, many people opt for alternative drinks, such as coffee creamers<\/strong> and iced coffee with ice<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you prefer the intense aroma of espresso coffee, however, there is no need to give up the pleasure of drinking this beverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, cold or iced drinks provide a momentary pleasure. Drinking a small amount of iced coffee has a cooling effect that fades after a few moments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that hot drinks help the body to better manage its internal temperature by increasing sweating?<\/span><\/i>\r\n\r\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This means that, contrary to popular belief, it is hot coffee that has a cooling effect and provides relief in hot weather!<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to stimulating the body’s thermoregulatory effect<\/strong>, espresso coffee in summer has many other benefits:<\/span>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n
