The main problem when drinking coffee in the morning is that someone can experience acid reflux. Although some people feel normal after drinking coffee in the morning, but for those who are sensitive, this can cause digestive problems.
Twin nutritionists, Lyssie Lakatos, RDN, CDN, CFT and Tammy Lakatos Shames, RDN, CDN, CFT, reveal those who are sensitive to drinking coffee in an empty stomach can experience nausea as well as GERD disease.
This happens because spighter or (muscles with a ring shape that can prevent food from returning to the stomach) in the lower esophagus can relax so as to allow acid to rise back into the esophagus.
They suggest that coffee be taken along with the consumption of other foods at breakfast. This is especially for people who like to experience anxiety or anxiety after drinking coffee. This is done to slow down the effects of caffeine on the body.
“Some people metabolize caffeine faster, this depends on genetics. A small study shows that drinking black coffee on an empty stomach can interfere with blood sugar control, which can later increase the risk of type 2 diabetes, as well as heart disease,” said this twin nutritionist.
Apart from these suggestions, nutritionists Lyssie Lakatos and Tammy Lakatos noted that drinking coffee a few hours after waking up may also be useful. Because the highest number of cortisol hormones comes when someone wakes up. This cortisol will provide energy encouragement.
“Caffeine from coffee can be useful if you are a few hours so that cortisol levels drop before drinking it,” according to Nutrition Twins.
But back to the condition of each individual. If the situation cannot drink coffee on an empty stomach, Nutrition Twins suggests choosing a type of cappuccino coffee or latte without sweetener.
Coffee with a mixture of milk is chosen because the protein and fat in milk will slow down the absorption of coffee as well as caffeine. This can also reduce some of its effects.
Keep in mind not to add sweeteners such as sugar or other syrup to coffee because coffee with additional sugar can trigger a more severe anxiety.
The Nutrition Twins also adds that drinking coffee before breakfast or when an empty stomach is more likely to trigger peristaltic motion. This motion will help someone defecate faster.
But if coffee makes someone too fast to the bathroom, coffee should be drunk at breakfast. Coffee that is drunk along with food can slow down the effects of caffeine in the body.

According to The Nutrition Twins, caffeine intake affects the number of bacteria in the intestine. Research shows people who drink long -term coffee and drink two or more coffee cups every day can increase good bacteria in the intestine compared to those who don’t drink coffee.
The research was conducted without distinguishing coffee time to drink before or after breakfast. But it is proven that high caffeine intake positively affects microbiomas by increasing anti-inflammatory bacteria and reducing harmful bacteria.
While chlorogenic acid in coffee is also seen contributing to human health in various ways. This study also shows that coffee has antioxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory effects in the digestive tract layer.
But once again, the research has not been able to determine the ideal time of drinking coffee. Is it better before, during, or after eating, said The Nutrition Twins.
