Doctors told why you should stop drinking coffee on an empty stomach. This is especially important for those who like to start their morning with a cup of this drink.

As nutritionists note, although coffee in small doses is good for health, the habit of drinking it on an empty stomach threatens problems with the digestive system. This coffee drink can lead to the formation of acid in the stomach, which can damage the mucous membrane, lead to indigestion and heartburn. Priyanka Rohtagali, an employee of Apollo Hospital in India, notes that coffee will do less harm if you add cream and sugar to the drink, as well as drink a small portion.

The nutritionist added that if a person suffers from acidity and gastritis, it is better to skip the morning cup on an empty stomach, before it you can eat a multi-grain biscuit or a handful of soaked almonds. According to a number of studies, morning coffee can also reduce cortisol production and make a person sleepier, rather than invigorating him. This drink is also not the best choice before a workout, as it can provoke dehydration.
