If anyone is knowledgable or savy? about nutrition or dieting I would appreciate your help thank you in advance.
I guess this question is? Will coffee deplete or ruin a healthy diet if you drink it a few hours after eating healthy food? Isn't it just going to flush away alot of things? It is a diuretic so I am concerned.
I have been doing a very good diet lately, fruit/veggie smoothies, ginseng exract, Fish/Flax Oil Supplemtns/good Multi's etc,
I must have a cup in the morn, in the afternoon, and late at night.
Since coffee is a diuretic I am concerned that it is putting all my good eating habits to waste????

Your kidneys are "smart filters". They have special pumps that grab a lot of the goodies out of the serum (blood fluid) that will eventually become urine.
Drinking coffee will have no more effect on that process than would drinking a glass of water.
Congrats on looking after your nutrient intake so well. You are what you eat.

Thank you I appreciate your help, I hope you dont mind me asking this but are you a professional or what is your expertise level????? Why do I get so tired a short while after drinking coffee, I drink plenty of water for the hour after a cup but I cannot seem to break the "coming down" factor with coffee. The Perk is nice but the down isnt
Are you a Doctor or Nutritionist?????

Nutrition is not something I studied at university, but my studies did prepare me to understand it quite well.
