Causes indigestion
Drinking coffee on an empty stomach is thought to cause digestive disorders, such as nausea, heartburn, ulcers, and even irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
This is thought to be caused by the bitter taste of coffee which can stimulate the production of stomach acid. When there is no food, stomach acid is believed to irritate the stomach lining.
In fact, to date, there are still no studies that have definitively found a link between drinking coffee on an empty stomach and the risk of digestive problems.
However, in people who are sensitive to caffeine, drinking coffee can indeed cause indigestion, regardless of whether he drinks it on an empty stomach or not.
Increase stress hormone levels
The hormone cortisol or commonly known as the stress hormone is a hormone that plays a role in regulating mood, motivation, and fear. This hormone also regulates metabolism, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels. Naturally, cortisol levels will increase when you wake up and the early stages of sleep.
If the levels are excessive, the hormone cortisol can trigger various health problems, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, sleep disorders, and mood disorders.
Well, drinking coffee can indeed cause a temporary increase in levels of the hormone cortisol. However, research has also shown that taking it after a meal does not reduce the production of these hormones. So, both after eating and on an empty stomach, drinking coffee can still increase cortisol levels.
