It's not just coffee, it's my diuretic

I don't remember if I have ever shared with my coffee loving friends that I am hypertensive, that is, my blood pressure tends to rise, when I was a little girl and puberty knocked on my doors, my blood pressure started to drop so much that sometimes I had to sit down to avoid fainting, because I felt I would fall on the floor at any moment.

Now, that was something strange not only for me, but also for my grandmother and mother, since they were both hypertensive, so the day less thought the family inheritance caught up with me and here I am taking two medications a day to control my pressure.

I imagine that they will say, or better said, they will ask themselves: why do you drink coffee? Since caffeine can cause a brief but significant increase in blood pressure, this is true and many people are impressed to see the large amount of coffee I drink in the mornings. What they do not know or remember is that coffee is also a diuretic.

Therefore, and believe it or not in my case, it helps me a lot to release excess fluids and salt in my body. Besides the fact that among my medications there is no diuretic, but I know that the human body is wise and many times when I have had high blood pressure I start going to the bathroom a lot.

So besides drinking coffee for love and with pleasure in the mornings, coffee for me is something that from my point of view helps me to wake up, activate and see life with joy, besides helping me to control my blood pressure, without forgetting that it keeps away from me the terrible headaches because I am already addicted to caffeine (just like you).

In my case I am aware and also used to that, after taking my blood pressure pill in the morning and my ration after that and drinking good coffee, is that I will go to the bathroom a lot. I know this is not a beauty routine, but what can be more beautiful than being healthy.

I don't know what you think or if it has happened to you as it has happened to me that after drinking coffee you go to the bathroom a lot, I have mentioned this to some people and they look at me a little strange, but in me this is a reality that I live day by day, besides if it were not so, I don't know how I would do it, but I would not stop drinking coffee the only thing that occurs to me to solve a possible conflict is to drink only one cup a day, but I would not give up my coffee.

In short, coffee, besides being the company of my breakfast every morning, is a complement for my health, which may not be a facial mask or a cream, but I believe that beauty starts from within, thus ends my participation in the STB 63

What could be more beautiful than ones health?

This got me thinking and wish a lot of people could reason the way you do.

I was wondering if caffeine doesn't trigger hypertension and it's my first time knowing that Coffee can serve as a diuretic which makes a lot of sense.

Drinking coffee is more than just a routine for you, it serves medical purpose because of your health. I learned something huge from your write up, thanks for sharing.

I think the notion that self-care should center on beauty practices is silly. I love your fresh take here on how coffee helps you take care of your body! You made me both giggle and nod along while this open write-up. ☕️

I'm so glad you've found what works for your blood pressure, without having to give up coffee!
