“Especially during the post-covid period, it is better to minimize the impact of stimulants on the body, including caffeine “, the neurologist recommended.

He noted that after an illness, people often complain of drowsiness and reduced work capacity, and, “by mistake, they often start consuming large amounts of coffee and caffeinated beverages.”

According to the neurologist, caffeine depletes the body's reserves of ATP – adenosine triphosphoric acid, which plays an important role in the exchange of energy and substances in the body, and after COVID-19, they are “already minimal”.

“Caffeine leads to dehydration and, as a result, to an increase in blood clotting, as well as a decrease in trace elements such as potassium in the blood, which negatively affects the work of the heart and the cardiovascular system.” – added Ihor Matsokin.

The doctor advised those who fell ill to gradually introduce coffee into their diet, and offered to replace it with weak tea, in particular, green or white tea.
