Drinking milk is considered very good for the body. But only if you take it at the right time, it can bring all the benefits to you. The milk requires time to get digested.

The right time to drink coffee is Noon!

Coffee lovers may be habituated to have their coffee in the morning. Waking up in the morning and rushing to the kitchen to have it, may not be a good idea. It is also not preferred to have it at night too. You should take it during noon time (1:30 to 5 pm). Or have it after 1-2 hours after waking up (preferable, 9:30 to 11:30 am). The cortisol level plummets during these times. And the cup of coffee would work like a charm during those times. Allows the body to naturally energize itself.

The wrong time to drink coffee is Night/Early morning!

Drinking coffee at night time can irritate your digestive system, make you feel restless. It is all because of the caffeine content.

PULSES AND BEANS
