What are the advantages and disadvantages of drinking instant coffee?

Instant coffee is the most common and popular convenient drink in modern life. People tear open the outer packaging of instant coffee, put the coffee powder in a cup, add boiling water, and they can get a cup of fragrant coffee. It can refresh the mind and relieve fatigue. However, drinking instant coffee for a long time has some adverse effects on the human body, and in serious cases it can endanger people's health.

What are the benefits of drinking instant coffee?

1. Radiation resistance

Enhancing the body's ability to resist radiation is one of the great benefits of drinking instant coffee, because instant coffee is rich in coffee powder, which retains most of the nutrients in coffee, can increase the activity of human tissue cells, and can also enhance the tolerance of human cells to allergens. Regular drinking can significantly improve the body's ability to resist radiation, especially for those who often face computers or are exposed to radiation sources. After drinking instant coffee, the damage of radioactive substances to the body can be minimized.

2. Prevent stones

People can absorb rich caffeine after drinking instant coffee. This substance has a significant stimulating effect on the human brain, can accelerate the contraction of the gallbladder, promote bile production, and prevent cholesterol from accumulating in the body. It can fundamentally prevent the formation of stones in the human body and has a very good preventive effect on the high incidence of gallstones in humans.

3. Detoxification

Drinking some instant coffee after drinking can also play an important role in sobering up and detoxifying, because the nutrients such as tannic acid, caffeine and fatty acids contained in instant coffee can accelerate the decomposition of alcohol in the human body and inhibit the body's absorption of alcohol, preventing it from causing damage to the human liver, and allowing them to be metabolized by the body and excreted as soon as possible.

Disadvantages of drinking instant coffee

1. Instant coffee undergoes high-temperature baking during the processing. During this process, the amino acids and sugars it contains will react to produce some acrylamide that is harmful to the human body. It has obvious carcinogenicity. After the human body absorbs too much acrylamide, the incidence of cancer will increase significantly. Therefore, people who drink instant coffee for a long time will have a certain degree of carcinogenicity.

2. Affecting appetite and reducing gastrointestinal function are also the main disadvantages of drinking instant coffee. After drinking instant coffee excessively, people will have a decreased appetite and damaged gastrointestinal mucosa. In severe cases, it will cause vomiting and gastrointestinal cramps.
