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.
