He goes on in his photo message, "Hydrate, Fats, proteins first, fruits Then Coffee," suggesting what needs to be had before sipping a cup of coffee, regardless of the type of drink - espresso, cappuccino or plain milk coffee. It comprises water for body hydration, good fats, proteins and fruits for easy digestion, among other significant health advantages. Only after that, as per him, should coffee be had. He ended his message with a firm reminder: "Be educated, not influenced."
