Is coffee dehydrating?

At MF Coffee, we will continue to tell you this repeatedly. We love helping others. We love informing the public and sharing knowledge for the greater good. It’s just a part of the MF ethos. Today at MF Coffee, we will be looking at a frequently asked question. “Is coffee dehydrating?” This may be due to individuals having headaches or feeling light-headed after drinking coffee or feeling like they’re in a state of thirst. Either way, we’re going to clean up all the misconceptions. So, sit back and relax whilst we completely revolutionise your opinion..

Coffee is considered to be a “mild diuretic”. Meaning, it makes the kidneys work harder in order to release salt and water from your body. This leads to the common misconception that because more water is being released from your body due to the coffee, that means the coffee is making you “dehydrated”. With that being said, many people forget how remarkable the body is and fail to understand that the human body is a machine. A very smart machine. Despite coffee being a “mild diuretic”, you really won’t lose that much water as opposed to other beverages, even ones with caffeine. Your body is clever enough to captivate the right amount of water it needs to defaecate the excess fluids.

In fact, in a study comparing tea drinking and water drinking, volunteers were divided into two groups: one group only drank tea for 12 hours and the other only drank boiled water. The research concluded that there was  no difference in hydration levels between those two groups. However, when coffee drinkers were tested a very different result was given. Research has shown that people who refrain from prolonged coffee when drinking coffee again may possibly surge their urine output by 41%. However, this effect is suppressed when the body adapts to caffeine for 4-5 consecutive days of drinking coffee. Which therefore led to another conclusion by the researchers that “drinking coffee regularly did not cause chronic diuresis and dehydration.”. So folks, its fine, you CAN drink MF Coffee and not become "dehydrated".

So, back to our question. Caffeinated drinks, specifically coffee work to rehydrate the body, not dehydrate the body. Some caffeinated drinks often suck water from the body which creates this state of thirstiness however the conclusive evidence suggests that you aren’t at all dehydrated. The headaches you may be feeling might be due to you being sensitive to coffee.

Does coffee help with headaches?

Good evening everyone, its another blog by MF Products and today we’re going to be looking at something slightly different. Today, the MF Products Team was riddled with headaches and someone asked “I wonder if there’s a drink that could resolve this pain” which got us thinking. Since coffee, especially MF Coffee (which is available to purchase now), has so many benefits maybe there’s a chance it can cure headaches too. Here’s what we found. We realised that when your head hurts or aches, people generally want a fast relief as the pain can be tedious. Caffeine is usually found in many painkillers and has statistically shown them to be 40% more effective with caffeine as opposed to without it. Actually, there are reports that the consumption of caffeine has even stopped the pain directly after. Which begs the question, could MF Coffee resolve your headache? Headaches can usually occur due to inflammation of the brain; caffeine’s main superpower is to reduce inflammation it does th...
