Despite its beneficial effects on the body, there are situations in which drinking coffee can be dangerous.
For what diseases should it be avoided or significantly reduced?
Coffee - how it affects the body
Some people start their day with it, others can't stand the smell of it. Despite the fact that it evokes various emotions, it is certainly one of the most popular drinks in the world.
Coffee not only tastes great or is stimulating, but it also supports the nervous system. Researchers believe this may minimize the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.
Consumed regularly and in reasonable quantities (3-5 cups per day), it protects against the development of type 2 diabetes and has anti-cancer properties.
According to experts, drinking coffee reduces the risk of developing cancerous lesions in the prostate, colon or liver.
When to Cut Down on Coffee
Despite the many benefits, there are times when you may have to stop or reduce your coffee consumption.
People who struggle with stomach and duodenal ulcers should be careful. In their case, coffee can aggravate the problem and increase pain.
Coffee should also be stopped by people who are struggling with kidney stones.
Interestingly, this recommendation only applies to a small group of patients diagnosed with so-called oxalate acidosis (in addition to coffee and strong tea, patients should not consume rhubarb, nuts, soy-based products or chocolate).
People who have problems with the pancreas should also give up drinking coffee. The drink can worsen the ailments that accompany the disease.
