Everyone who visited Turkey, certainly noticed what is served here coffee with water. But this is not a purely Turkish tradition, it was born in Greece (or maybe even came from nowhere), and now widely used throughout Europe. It’s just possible in Turkey. see almost everywhere.
Why do coffee connoisseurs drink it with clean water? Reasons for that some:
- coffee intensively removes water from the body, and therefore replenish lost moisture, especially on a summer day in a hot climate, which characterized by the same Turkey, it will not be out of place, in addition water cools a caffeinated organism – and a man drinking a glass of water after coffee, feels in great shape;
- coffee has a pronounced taste, but if the first sips of it just fascinate, soon taste buds adapt and the effect of magic is sharply reduced. But the initial charm is possible easy to return with two sips of water (washing taste receptors). In that case, water is mixed with coffee, which in turn prolongs the whole process of “conversation over a cup of coffee”, which many coffee lovers love on their own;
- it is good for the body not only because of recovery desired moisture balance in the body. The fact is that caffeine is like the exciting element of the drink, acts very briefly, and then, on the contrary, oppression of the nervous system begins, in which theobromine is involved. Water in this case prolongs the effect of caffeine and softens the transition from excited to almost normal condition;
- coffee raises blood pressure, so it is not recommended to drink it hypertensive patients. But if you drink a coffee drink with clean water, then no negative effect on pressure and pulse you even you will not feel.
If all this is summarized, then drinking coffee with water is useful and more nicely. True, in Turkey, for example, they simply drink a cup of water coffee, and do not drink it interspersed. In other countries you will see a slightly different approach to this tradition, often even water used different: mineral, carbonated, with the addition of lemon and so on. In any case, water is beneficial, but because presumably, the cleaner it is, the better. And how will you drink it with coffee (and whether you decide at all) – here a lot depends on your upbringing and taste.
