5 groups of people should stop drinking coffee to avoid bad health effects

Coffee can reduce the risk of chronic diseases, improve exercise performance and help with weight loss, but drinking too much can wreak havoc on the body.

Expert Kylie Ivanir recommends that adults limit their caffeine intake to about 400mg per day, or about 3 to 5 cups of coffee.

In addition, some people such as people with high blood pressure, pregnant or lactating women should consider limiting caffeine intake. You must also consider adding sugar, cream, and syrup.

Based on the fact that there are some dangers to drinking too much coffee, nutritionists warn against the following groups of people:

High Blood Pressure

Nutritionist Sandy Younan Brikho warns people with high blood pressure to stop drinking coffee as soon as possible because the caffeine in coffee increases blood pressure.

“One analysis demonstrated an increase in blood pressure over time in men who drank a lot of coffee,” Brikho said.

“Other research shows that drinking a lot of coffee in people who metabolize coffee slowly also causes an increase in blood pressure.”

Acid reflux

Normally, after food reaches the esophagus, the esophageal sphincter contracts to prevent food from coming back up.

However, caffeine relaxes the esophageal sphincter, leading to triggering acid reflux. Therefore, if you have this condition, you should limit the intake of caffeinated beverages such as coffee, tea, and soda.

Insomnia or not sleeping well

Due to its high caffeine content, drinking coffee 6 hours or less before bed can disrupt sleep and increase insomnia. If you can’t break the habit of drinking coffee, you should switch to drinking at an earlier time, cutting down on your intake.

Have an anxiety disorder

Due to its high caffeine content, drinking too much coffee can cause anxiety symptoms including heart palpitations, tremors, headaches, and insomnia. Therefore, people with anxiety disorders need to stay away from coffee.

Women who have missed periods

Some people trying to lose weight, eating low calories have used coffee as a way to suppress cravings.

“One sign that you’re drinking too much coffee is irregular periods,” says nutritionist Abby Vichill.
