The morning will be invigorating if you start it with a cup of coffee, but you shouldn’t do it on an empty stomach.

Coffee, like other caffeinated drinks, can cause health risks that go far beyond the desired wake-up call.

It is believed that coffee should not be drunk during meals, as the drink impairs the absorption of nutrients.

But much more unpleasant consequences await those who drink coffee on an empty stomach.

Doctor Zukhra Pavlova spoke on her Telegram channel about why you shouldn’t drink coffee on an empty stomach.

Coffee on an empty stomach: consequences

When talking about consequences, doctors use the term “adverse reactions”.

1. The first point is related to stress. If you drink coffee on an empty stomach, the body will react by producing the hormone cortisol.

This substance is responsible for the stressful state, which is the cause of all health problems.

2. Another important point is skipping breakfast. It turns out that people who drink coffee on an empty stomach often skip a full breakfast.

This habit provokes more serious consequences such as heart problems and diabetes.

3. There is an opinion that drinking coffee on an empty stomach affects the intestinal muscles, which leads to a sharp urge to visit the toilet.

4. It is also important to remember that coffee can cause nausea if you drink it on an empty stomach.
