Many people think that coffee provides an instant boost of energy, but in reality, overconsumption can lead to fatigue and tiredness in the long term. It’s important to be aware of how much coffee you consume and make sure you have a balanced diet, especially if you follow a low-carb or Keto diet and tend to have milk or cream in your coffee.
Coffee has been part of Norwegian culture for hundreds of years. It was first introduced in Norway in the 17th century, but it wasn’t until the 18th century that it started to become popular. In the beginning, coffee was a luxury item that only the rich could afford, but gradually it became more accessible to ordinary people. The coffee houses that emerged in the 1800s became an important social gathering place for both men and women. Today, coffee is an important part of Norwegian culture and a daily routine for many Norwegians.

Tips for getting the most positive effects from coffee
To get the most out of coffee and avoid losing energy levels in the afternoon, you may want to wait 90 minutes after waking up before drinking coffee. This is because your body naturally produces a hormone called cortisol during the morning. Cortisol helps you wake up and feel energized. If you drink coffee right after you wake up, caffeine can inhibit the production of cortisol, which can cause you to feel less alert than you would otherwise.
When you should drink coffee
By waiting 90 minutes after you wake up, you give your body time to produce cortisol naturally, which can help you feel more alert and increase the effects of caffeine when you first drink coffee.
It’s also important to be aware of how much coffee you drink and when you drink it. You may want to limit your caffeine intake to earlier in the day and not drink coffee too late at night. This can help avoid sleep problems and ensure you feel refreshed and energized the next morning.
Choose good quality coffee
In addition, choosing a good quality coffee, avoiding sugar and milk, can help make your coffee more effective at boosting your energy levels.
