00:00And we're back here at Pinoy M.D.
00:02Doc and I are having so much fun.
00:04If you're still sleepy, wake up because we have a delicious coffee to wake you up.
00:13Speaking of coffee, that will be our topic this morning.
00:16Doc, you're a coffee drinker, right?
00:18You know, Connie, I'm just a morning coffee drinker.
00:21I'm not a brewed coffee drinker yet because I have gastritis with brewed coffee.
00:26So, I'm okay with a 3-in-1 sugar-free coffee for a pan de sel.
00:32But it's true that it wakes you up, right?
00:34Yes, of course.
00:35But you know, my fellow coffee drinkers,
00:37it's really important that we know what kind of coffee we're drinking
00:41because it also has an effect on our body.
00:44It depends on our strength, it depends on the type, right?
00:47And also, Connie, we have a lot of friends who are just making water coffee.
00:54So, they don't really react to the effects of coffee.
00:58For me, when it comes to brewed coffee, my heartbeat is really fast.
01:01Or maybe I'm having a reflux, right?
01:04I'm having a migraine.
01:05But there are people who are really used to coffee.
01:08And coffee is not really bad if it's just moderate.
01:11Because it also has antioxidants.
01:13But if you're overdoing it, it has a lot of side effects.
01:15That's what we need to know, fellow coffee drinkers,
01:17the do's and don'ts.
01:18Do we really need to make strong coffee?
01:21How much coffee should we put if we're making coffee?
01:25And of course, what they're saying, how many hours?
01:28Right?
01:29Do we really need to make coffee until late at night?
01:32We're going to answer all of those questions so that we can be more guided.
01:35Here it is.
01:41It's said that you only make coffee when you have time.
01:43But Marites is 32 years old, and she watches every time she makes coffee.
01:49In the morning, she's already ready with her pan de sal,
01:53which she dips in hot coffee.
01:57And when she's outside, Marites sees her coffee shop.
02:02Good morning, ma'am. What would you like to order?
02:05One espresso, please.
02:06One iced americano.
02:08I'll order caramel macchiato.
02:10When I wake up in the morning, I boil some water.
02:13Then I drink my coffee.
02:16Before I leave, I drink my coffee.
02:18And when I go to the market, I still drink my coffee.
02:24In one day, it's not just one, but two or five cups of coffee that Marites drinks.
02:31No, it's 20 or more.
02:34There's no exaggeration.
02:36I feel like I'm going to throw up if I don't drink my coffee.
02:40I really want to drink my coffee.
02:42To be honest, we have a lot of certified coffee drinkers.
02:45When we're low-fat,
02:47this is what wakes us up because of its caffeine,
02:51which is a kind of chemical for energy.
02:54Aside from this, coffee is also good for the body because it's rich in antioxidants.
02:59This is good because it can help our liver to metabolize sugar more efficiently.
03:10Or help the liver or lessen the liver's production of sugar.
03:16So that's one of the benefits of antioxidants,
03:18like caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid.
03:24However, like what we always say,
03:27too much is bad.
03:30If our resident attorney, Doc Oye, were to ask,
03:33we shouldn't drink more than three cups of coffee a day.
03:38Because if we don't, instead of getting better,
03:40it will be bad for our health.
03:43Caffeine can make our blood vessels smaller or constrict,
03:48which may have an effect on our blood pressure.
03:52Remember, if a closed chamber is smaller,
03:56the resistance is higher,
03:58and the pressure can be higher.
04:01It can also cause irregular heartbeats,
04:04or what's called arrhythmia.
04:07That's why sometimes, when we drink a lot of coffee,
04:10we feel like our liver is getting constricted.
04:14It can also trigger acid reflux.
04:20Another problem that Doc Oye sees,
04:22is the type of coffee that we drink.
04:25The hands that are fond of instant coffee are high.
04:28Each packet has a high sugar content,
04:33or is equal to more than two teaspoons of sugar.
04:37How can you drink this again and again in one day?
04:40That's a lot of money!
04:42One packet is high in sugar.
04:45So more so, if you're going to drink this more than three times,
04:49or five times, or even ten times in a day,
04:51you're not only drinking the caffeine,
04:53but you're also consuming a lot of your simple glucose,
04:57or simple sugars.
05:00The best type of coffee to drink is brewed coffee,
05:03or ground coffee because it doesn't contain sugar,
05:06and artificial flavors.
05:09But let's repeat,
05:11you should only drink up to three cups a day.
05:15And if possible, don't drink coffee after 12 noon.
05:20It can affect our sleep.
05:23Because if you drink too much caffeine,
05:26it can affect the quality and the depth of our sleep,
05:32which will make them be sluggish and tired in the morning,
05:37prompting them to drink coffee again in the morning.
