What changes will occur to your body if you drink 800 packets of instant coffee a year?

As the postgraduate entrance examination approaches, students preparing for the exam wish they could live in the library every day. Recently, a student preparing for the exam in Zhengzhou, Henan, said in an interview that he studies for more than 12 hours a day. In order to refresh himself during the long study process, he drinks 3-4 cups of instant coffee a day, which means at least 700 to 800 packs a year. Not to mention whether he can pass the postgraduate entrance examination with so much coffee, can his body withstand drinking 800 packs of instant coffee a year? It is still a question mark.

With the development of science and technology, people are becoming lazier and lazier. They leave cleaning to robot vacuum cleaners, rice cooking to rice cookers, and even go to a new level of laziness by inventing a semi-automatic sock-wearing machine... Laziness is the driving force of scientific and technological progress. When it comes to eating and drinking, many people also pursue convenience and speed. For example, coffee, which requires grinding beans into powder and then boiling them before drinking, is simply too troublesome. For instant coffee, just open the bag, pour it into a cup and add some water. This is simply a gift from God for lazy people. As a convenient and affordable choice for supplementing caffeine, it has become the first choice for many people to refresh themselves, but is drinking too much instant coffee harmful to the human body?

In the production process of instant coffee, in order to meet people's taste needs, a lot of sugar and non-dairy creamer are often added. If you look at the carbohydrate line in the nutrition label, it is usually not low. If it is 12 grams per small bag, drinking 2 small bags of instant coffee a day will almost consume 24 grams of sugar, which is close to half of the maximum limit. Long-term excessive consumption of sugar is not good for health. When sugar enters the human body, some of the excess sugar will be converted into fat and stored in the body, which will cause obesity and tooth decay over time. Once you get fat, various chronic diseases may follow, including cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, etc. Instant coffee also has hydrogenated vegetable oil, which contains "trans fatty acids". Trans fatty acids, known as "time bombs on the table", are prone to induce thrombosis and coronary heart disease and other risks that are not conducive to health.

In fact, coffee is good. It is good for health, can refresh the mind, and can improve athletic ability. The disadvantage of coffee is that other ingredients in instant coffee can have a bad effect on the body. So if you continue to drink instant coffee in the future, it is best to choose pure coffee without sugar and coffee creamer, and add milk to taste by yourself, which is healthier.

Whether it is for students preparing for postgraduate entrance examinations or office workers, if they want to relieve stress and refresh themselves, instant coffee is not the only choice. Chinese people have been drinking tea since ancient times, and brewing a cup of tea that suits their taste is also a good choice. If you really only love coffee, you must be careful not to drink too much.
