Most people on this planet cannot imagine their day without a daily morning cup of coffee. For some, it's just a ritual, but for someone a need.

Scientists Richie Lenne and Tracy Mann from the University of Minnesota conducted a study on how coffee affects sugar consumption and obtained very interesting results.

For the experiment, 127 volunteers were recruited, who experienced three different methods of drinking coffee for two weeks.

The first group was supposed to reduce the amount of sugar in the daily cup of coffee. Gradually, from three spoons a group of volunteers reached the minimum amount of sugar.

The second group was supposed to drink coffee, focusing on the taste of the drink. To do this, they even used special workshops, where volunteers were trained to recognize taste, aroma, sourness, sweetness and aftertaste.

In addition, they had to learn to recognize the difference between the first sip of coffee and the sensations after drinking a cup.

The third group was to simply drink in the morning a cup of coffee without sugar and sweeteners, without any gradual withdrawal or any methods.

The authors of the study expected that the approach with a gradual decrease in the rate of sugar would be the most effective, but it turned out that the most correct was an approach with a conscious rejection of sugar in the morning drink.

“Participants in all groups reduced the amount of sugar in the diet compared to the initial indicators, but it was the awareness of consumption that gave the best result,” the authors of the study admitted.

The approach with a gradual decrease in the amount of sugar turned out to be the most ineffective, since at the end of the experiment it turned out that this method was faltering and all the participants in the first group returned to positions and added sugar to their drink.

“It is easy to initiate changes, but it is almost impossible to maintain them in the diet on a permanent basis,” the authors write. "We were prepared for the majority of the participants in our experiment to return to sugar-laden coffee, but the mindfulness group continued to drink sugar-free coffee, which surprised us."

Scientists argue that it is imperative to seek to reduce the consumption of sugar, as it causes dependence. Similarly, the habit of eating high-carbohydrate foods and saturated fats also cause such dependencies, and in the future, these foods cause the body to begin to demand an increase in dose.

If you decide to start this fight right now, then start small - give up sugar in the morning cup of coffee. Gradually, the body gets used, and you can stop using sugar completely.

If the taste of coffee without sugar is unpleasant for you, then try adding a little skimmed milk to it in the first stages.
