Al-Marsad newspaper: Australian clinical nutritionist, Olivia Hedlund, warned against drinking coffee on an empty stomach.
Hedlund explained, through her account on “Tik Tok”, that this drink on an empty stomach, pushes the body into a high pressure mode.
“Because coffee is acidic, this makes it hard on an empty stomach in the morning,” she said. “It also causes our bodies to go into a high-stress response, releasing the resulting cortisol, putting us in a ‘fight or flight’ situation.”
She added: This stress response is what causes tension and shivering after drinking coffee, and this habit can also cause hormonal problems such as acne, because the body is in a state of tension, according to “The Sun.”
And the nutrition expert advised, the need to eat something small before drinking coffee, saying: Make this your goal and I promise you that you will notice a difference if you suffer from hormonal imbalances or even problems in the gut.
