People who should not drink coffee

Many people have the habit of drinking coffee, especially in the morning. However, this is not a good drink for some groups of people. Below are people who should not drink coffee.

People who should not drink coffee

People with sleep disorders

Drinking a cup of coffee (or more) after a bad night's sleep helps you stay awake. But your coffee habit may be prolonging the cycle of sleeplessness and fatigue, according to Eat This.

According to the Sleep Association, you should avoid consuming caffeine at least 6 hours before going to bed.

Worrying person

Caffeine is a stimulant that can make anxiety worse in some people. If you experience panic attacks regularly, you may want to consider avoiding or reducing your coffee intake.

Children under 12 years old

Caffeine can make anyone jittery, but it can also cause side effects in children.

Children who drink coffee are likely to experience increased heart rate, increased anxiety, difficulty concentrating, and stomach aches. Coffee is quite acidic, so it can damage tooth enamel and cause cavities.

Diarrhea

VnExpress newspaper quoted Dr. Vu Truong Khanh - Head of the Department of Gastroenterology - Hepatobiliary - Pancreas, Tam Anh General Hospital Hanoi, sharing that drinking coffee after meals helps you digest faster. Food reaching the rectum stimulates more intestinal motility, thereby promoting rectal and anal contractions that make you want to defecate.

People who often suffer from diarrhea should limit their coffee consumption. Drinking coffee in the morning makes the intestines more active. This makes diarrhea worse.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

Caffeine, the main ingredient in coffee that causes heartburn, can aggravate GERD. People with GERD can reduce their daily coffee intake or drink cold brew coffee, which has a lower caffeine content and is less acidic, to reduce irritation.

People with Glaucoma

Glaucoma, commonly known as cataracts or glaucoma, is a disease that damages the optic nerve, reducing vision and possibly leading to permanent blindness.

Ms. Phanels said that for people with glaucoma, consuming coffee will increase intraocular pressure, affecting vision.

Pregnant and lactating women

Pregnant women should limit caffeine to 200 milligrams (about what is found in 2 cups of coffee) daily to reduce the risk of miscarriage, premature birth, and low birth weight, according to Eathis.com.

However, a 2020 review published in the British Medical Journal concluded that there is no safe level of caffeine consumption during pregnancy.

In addition, breastfeeding women should also limit their coffee intake because caffeine is a stimulant and diuretic, which can cause dehydration in mothers.

Above are people who should not drink coffee. If you are in the above group, stay away from coffee./.
