Have you ever tried drinking a cup of reheated coffee?

Try it and see if it's true: The hotter the coffee, the more bitter it tastes!

Here, experts will explain why coffee becomes more bitter when heated, especially when heated in a microwave?

The hotter the coffee, the more bitter it is.

When you microwave your coffee, you restart the brewing process, which can release more bitter compounds. So the more you heat your coffee, the more bitter acids it creates.

According to food scientist Natalie Alibrandi in London (UK), natural coffee contains chlorogenic compounds and quinic acid. Heating coffee in the microwave will release more of these compounds, making it more astringent and bitter.

Reheating your half-drunk cup of coffee in the microwave won’t do you any harm other than taste bitter. While reheating coffee is safe, it may not taste the way you like it. More on this article on May 5th.

Discover new benefits of walnuts

Walnuts are a very healthy nut. There is a lot of scientific evidence that eating walnuts can help reduce the risk of stroke, heart disease, depression, diabetes, Alzheimer's and many other diseases. A recent study has discovered another benefit of walnuts.

In a study published in the medical journal The Lancet , Spanish scientists tested the benefits of walnuts on 771 teenagers aged 11 to 16. They were all students from 12 high schools in Spain, according to the health website Healthline (USA).

Walnuts may help boost teens' reasoning and concentration skills

Of these, about 50% of the students were asked to eat 30 grams of raw walnuts every day for 6 months. The remaining 50% of the students did not eat walnuts and were not instructed to follow any nutritional regimen.

The results of the study showed that students who ate walnuts every day for 6 months had an increased ability to pay attention, reason, and process complex information. Readers can read more about this article on the health page on May 5.

New discovery brings us closer to a cure for both Covid-19 and monkeypox

Scientists in the Czech Republic have successfully decoded the structure of a protein in the virus that causes monkeypox, bringing scientists closer to creating a new antiviral drug that can kill both monkeypox and Covid-19.

A team of scientists from the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry (IOCB) in Prague (Czech Republic) has successfully decoded the structure of a protein called methyltransferase from the virus that causes mpox, formerly known as monkeypox. It is thanks to this protein that the virus escapes human immunity and causes disease.

Decoding the methyltransferase protein in the mpox virus brings scientists closer to creating new antiviral drugs

Thanks to the discovery , scientists will experiment and find substances that can inhibit the activity of the methyltransferase protein. They may even soon develop a new antiviral drug capable of treating mpox.

Not only that, the research team said the new antiviral drug may also be effective against other viruses, such as the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes Covid-19. Let's start the day with health news to see more of this article!
