Drinks to choose before and after morning jogging, the right time for black coffee

Abstract: This article discusses the choice of drinks before and after morning running, emphasizing the suitability of black coffee at specific times. Before running, drinking a moderate amount of black coffee can improve exercise results and burn fat. After running, it is more important to replenish electrolytes to balance the body's state, and black coffee contains certain potassium and sodium ions, which help the body recover. However, it should be noted that excessive drinking of black coffee may cause adverse effects such as accelerated heart rate, so it should be consumed in moderation.

With the improvement of health awareness, more and more people choose morning jogging as a form of exercise. Before and after the morning jog, the choice of diet, especially whether to drink black coffee before the morning jog, has become the focus of many runners. This article will explore this issue from multiple angles to help you make a more appropriate decision.

As a common beverage, the caffeine in black coffee can indeed improve a person's mental state and concentration in a short period of time, which may help improve the running effect before a morning run. But at the same time, the stimulating effect of caffeine may also cause some people to experience discomfort during morning runs, such as palpitations, chest tightness and other symptoms. For those who usually have the habit of drinking coffee, drinking a moderate amount of black coffee before a morning run may bring them positive effects; but for those who are not often exposed to caffeine, it may bring unnecessary risks.

Black coffee also has a diuretic effect. If you drink black coffee before a morning run, it may cause frequent urination during running, affecting the running experience. Drinking black coffee on an empty stomach may also stimulate gastric acid secretion and cause damage to the gastric mucosa. Doing so for a long time may cause stomach discomfort. From a health perspective, it is not recommended to drink a large amount of black coffee before a morning run.

Is it appropriate to drink black coffee after a morning run? Drinking a moderate amount of black coffee after exercise can help the body recover faster and relieve muscle fatigue. This is because caffeine can promote metabolism and accelerate the discharge of body waste. The polyphenols contained in black coffee also have a certain antioxidant effect, which helps protect the body from free radical damage caused by exercise.

But it is also important to note that it is not appropriate to drink black coffee immediately after a morning run. At this time, the body needs to replenish water and electrolytes as soon as possible to maintain water-salt balance and blood circulation. Black coffee has a certain dehydrating effect, which is not conducive to this process. It is recommended to drink black coffee in moderation after a while after a morning run, when the body has recovered.

In addition to black coffee, there are many other drink options before and after morning runs. Boiled water is the safest and most direct way to replenish water; sports drinks can replenish water and electrolytes at the same time; fruit juice can provide more sugar and nutrients. The key is to choose the drink that suits you best based on your personal constitution and exercise status that day.

It is not recommended to drink black coffee before morning jogging. Although you can drink black coffee in moderation after morning jogging, you don’t have to drink it immediately. It is equally important to choose a drink that suits you and ensure the effectiveness and safety of your morning jogging. I hope this article can provide useful reference for runners and help you be healthier and happier on your morning jogging!
