Coffee is a drink that has become an integral part of many people's lives. Scientists have repeatedly proved its benefits, but there are some restrictions on its consumption. Let's look at who should not eat coffee and why.
Recommendations on coffee consumption
Doctors indicate that coffee can be consumed if:
- It is consumed in the morning.
- No more than 3 cups a day.
- Natural coffee cooked in a cup or coffee machine is used.
It is also important to remember that coffee should not be consumed to compensate for a lack of rest.
Coffee and health
Increased pressure, heart disease and diabetes
Studies show that coffee is not harmful to people with cardiovascular disease. It does not reduce life expectancy and does not increase the frequency of hospitalizations. However, patients with hypertension should control their pressure and avoid coffee during hypertensive crisis.
For people with low coffee pressure, it can be useful, but it should be avoided in the afternoon to avoid worsening sleep. People with diabetes are also allowed to drink coffee, but without adding sugar and desserts.
Who cannot drink coffee
Some medical diagnoses may prohibit coffee consumption as it may exacerbate the condition:
- Arrhythmia - coffee can increase the pulse and cause interruptions in the heart rate.
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease - a drink can provoke heartburn.
- Functional dyspepsia - digestive disorders may worsen.
- Cholelithiasis - increased gallbladder tone can cause pain.
- Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis - coffee can exacerbate pain and diarrhea.
- Coffee allergy - one of the symptoms can be a cough.
- Caffeine intolerance is possible symptoms of overdose, such as tremor and panic attacks.
Pregnancy and coffee
Women should be especially cautious with coffee during pregnancy. It is recommended to significantly reduce consumption or completely abandon the drink, as caffeine can cause miscarriage and increase the risk of preeclampsia in the late stages.
