Scientists have found out why morning coffee with a cigarette is so important for smokers

For many smokers, a morning cigarette with coffee is an indispensable ritual. Although doctors warn that nicotine and caffeine on an empty stomach is not the best start of the day for the body, no one is going to give up this habit. Recently, scientists were able to find out how the harmful morning custom appeared and why it is so important for millions.

Specialists in the field of biochemistry from The University of Florida joined forces with pharmacists and answered an important question. It turns out that a cigarette with coffee is not a random combination, but a real need of the body. The secret lies in the chemicals contained in roasted coffee beans. They help the body cope with the shock dose of nicotine that enters the brain in the morning that has not yet woken up.

The results of the scientists' research were published by Neuropharmacology. The article says that the addiction of smokers to coffee is natural. The body needs to neutralize the compounds that enter the body during the combustion of tobacco. Therefore, the more a person smokes, the more he wants coffee. At the same time, you have to drink more fragrant drink than non-smokers. This is the only way a tobacco lover can get the same effect from coffee as a non-smoker.

After sleep, an even more interesting process takes place. Biochemists have studied the effect of a coffee drink made from unroasted and roasted grains on the activity of nicotine acetylcholine receptors. After painstaking study of many chemicals, the researchers found what they were looking for. These were two compounds formed during the roasting of coffee beans. They acted directly on nicotine receptors in the brain.

For those who did not understand anything, we explain. If you don't plan to quit smoking, then don't quit drinking coffee. A cup of drink in the morning helps to neutralize the negative effects of nicotine on the brain. But it only works in the morning. Previously, scientists have found out why it is customary to drink coffee with water. It turned out that this is also not a whim at all.
