Who should never drink coffee?
For many, it is a magical elixir that makes every day start well, while for others it can be a health problem.
Coffee can reduce the risk of developing several types of cancer, and heart disease and can even help with weight loss. But in some people there may be negative consequences due to caffeine intake. Here’s who should never drink coffee:
PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE
Caffeine can speed up digestion and also increase the chances of diarrhea, which is one of the main symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease. It is wise to avoid drinking coffee if you suffer from IBS.
IF YOU HAVE GLAUCOMA
Intraocular pressure can increase in people who have glaucoma when they consume coffee if research is to be believed. Experts, therefore, advise reducing caffeine intake or even avoiding it.
IF YOU ARE BOTHERED BY AN OVERACTIVE BLADDER
We all know it's best to skip drinking a big cup of coffee before a long trip, especially if you can't get to the toilet easily. Caffeine intake can only speed up your bladder, which is why you'll have to urinate more often. If you don’t drink coffee often, you can be much more sensitive to caffeine.
PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM HEART DISEASE
As caffeine from coffee can cause an instant rise in blood pressure and speed up the heart rate, it is important that every person who had heart problems in the past is careful and talks to a doctor about how much coffee he can drink.
PEOPLE WHO SUFFER FROM ANXIETY OR PANIC ATTACKS
Caffeine is a stimulant that can worsen anxiety, and if you often suffer from it, consider reducing your caffeine intake.
PEOPLE WHO HAVE EPILEPSY
A recent study found that coffee consumption is associated with more frequent attacks, but more studies are certainly needed. If you have epilepsy, talk to a neurologist about how much coffee you should drink.
PEOPLE WITH SLEEP DISORDERS
It is clear that after a sleepless night you will first reach for a cup of coffee, but this habit can lead to a vicious circle of insomnia and daytime fatigue. Even if you think that afternoon coffee does not disturb your sleep, it can actually do. You need to drink coffee 6 hours before going to bed.
