What happens when you drink coffee before breakfast?

For many people, it’s hard to start the day without coffee. But enjoying this drink before breakfast can lead to a number of consequences.

Impact on blood sugar

Many people cannot bear the thought of facing a day without a hot cup of coffee. But if the first thing your body absorbs in the morning is coffee, your blood sugar can spike by 50%.

This doesn’t mean you have to give up your favorite drink. Studies have shown that you can eliminate this harm if you eat breakfast first, drink coffee later.

Causes dry skin

Coffee is a strong diuretic, so after drinking it, you are more likely to have to go to the bathroom. While enjoying a cup of coffee every now and then won’t lead to severe dehydration, it will still deplete the body of fluids. Therefore, it is important that you drink enough water during the day. Otherwise, the hobby of drinking coffee will affect the skin, causing it to become dry and rough.

Feeling anxious, stressed

When we wake up, cortisol, also known as the stress hormone, is at its highest. If you drink coffee before breakfast, caffeine can conflict with cortisol, causing the body to put more pressure. Ideally, you should wait about an hour after waking up for a cup of coffee and make sure to drink water before.

Other side effects

Coffee has a number of negative effects, regardless of whether you drink it on an empty stomach or not. Caffeine can be addictive, and some people’s genetics make them especially sensitive to it.

Drinking too much leads to anxiety, restlessness, heart palpitations, headaches, and high blood pressure in some people.

For this reason, most experts recommend limiting your caffeine intake to around 400 mg per day – the equivalent of 4-5 cups (1 liter) of coffee.

Since the effects of coffee can last up to 7 hours in adults, this beverage can disrupt your sleep, especially if you drink it late in the day.

Finally, caffeine can easily cross the placenta, with effects potentially lasting up to 16 hours for pregnant women and their unborn babies. Therefore, pregnant women are encouraged to limit coffee intake to 1-2 cups (240–480 ml) per day.
