<\/a>Morning joe has been morning staple for a while.\u00a0 People have used coffee to help them when they lack sleep and people have used coffee when they need to pull an all nighter or even to prep for a end of day workout.\u00a0 So when people need to wake up typically they reach for coffee or tea even.\u00a0 Now before the ritual of the morning joe became common place Chinese medicine used the concept of yin (water) and yang (fire) these two concepts work in a sort of harmony or balance, an equilibrium.\u00a0\u00a0 Though the concepts seem distinct from today\u2019s science we have hours of wakefulness (yang) and hours of sleep (yin).\u00a0 I don\u2019t claim to be a traditional Chinese medicine person only to understand the concept weakly.\u00a0 So for example if you were to yin in the morning they would introduce something yang like coffee.\u00a0 Forgive me any TCM practitioners if I over step here.\u00a0 I am going to do a little bit of reaching here.\u00a0 Carbs can function in a similar fashion as coffee and by introducing carbs in the AM you will be more likely to crash in the AM due to blood sugar fluctuation.\u00a0 What tends to happen is the carbs burn fast vs fats which are slower burning.\u00a0 In a lot of instances eating more fat and protein in your breakfast can be beneficial.\u00a0 (1)(2)(3)(4)\u00a0 The direct effect seems to be satiety you can function longer without having hunger pangs on higher protein lower carbs.<\/p>\nEnter caffeine into the mix of a meal and you will find that in some instances it can increase uptake of carbohydrates post exercise, however in other instances it lowers insulin sensitivity.\u00a0 \u00a0Muscle Glycogen can be restored in around 20-24 hours depending on the study and frequency of carbohydrate consumption. However Protein requirements for muscle have to be within the first 36 hours and since they body can\u2019t assimilate all of the protein it is often best spaced every 3-6 hours (8)<\/p>\n
