Khaberni - Drinking coffee is one of the most common morning habits around the world. However, it may not always be the best choice for women. It's fine to consume a moderate amount of coffee as it boosts energy and focus, but what if there are signs indicating that the effect of coffee on you is negative?
Nutrition experts advise monitoring the signs that reveal the body's reactions and adjusting caffeine intake accordingly.
According to "Times Now News," women, in particular, should avoid drinking coffee if the following signs are present:
Anxiety or tension
Usually, drinking coffee increases the heart rate, which might also stimulate the mind. But what if the result is anxiety, and it's due to drinking coffee?
Excessive caffeine intake increases the production of stress hormones, which exacerbates feelings of anxiety and tension.
In this case, it is advised to drink herbal tea or a glass of water with lemon.
Sleep difficulties
Drinking coffee, especially late in the afternoon or in the evening, negatively affects your sleep cycle.
Consuming caffeine before bedtime can cause difficulty in falling asleep or staying asleep. The long-lasting effects of caffeine make it hard to get peaceful sleep.
If you have trouble sleeping or wake up during the night, you should refrain from drinking a second or third cup of coffee.
Digestive issues
If you experience heartburn, acid reflux, or stomach upset after drinking coffee, these are signs that should not be ignored.
Coffee is an acidic beverage, and with the help of caffeine, acid production increases, which may exacerbate digestive issues.
For those with severe digestive sensitivities, it is advised to drink decaffeinated coffee or avoid coffee altogether until the digestion process returns to normal.
Blood pressure and heart rate
Women who suffer from high blood pressure or irregular heartbeats should avoid caffeine as it may worsen their condition.
If you feel an increase in your heart rate after drinking coffee or experience palpitations, the first thing to do is stop consuming coffee and consult a doctor before deciding whether or not to continue consuming caffeine regularly.
Pregnancy
Pregnancy is a period when eating and drinking habits should be carefully considered, especially regarding caffeine. Drinking too much coffee can affect fetal growth and may also lead to some complications.
Nutrition experts advise pregnant women to consume a limited amount of coffee or abstain entirely during pregnancy, and to consume some types of herbal tea or other safe alternatives.
