Coffee is an essential part of any Filipino’s day. Whether as a part of our morning breakfast or that little pick-me-up during the afternoon, coffee has become a part of our daily lives.
For many of us, our day couldn’t start without that magical cup of black energy – sugar and milk optional.
However, some researchers have warned that drinking coffee in the morning on an empty stomach may lead to serious complications down the line.
Here are some of the issues that come with drinking coffee without any food in your stomach.
1) Stomach Acid
The human stomach contains hydrochloric acid – which helps digest food at the proper levels
Apparently, drinking a cup of coffee on an empty stomach secretes more acid in your digestive tract which is very problematic.
On an empty stomach, this acid has nothing to do but gurgle around. This is a major cause of abdominal discomfort like acid reflux.
Eventually too much stomach acid might cause damage to your digestive system - leading to conditions like heartburn, stomach ulcers, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Longevity Coffee is a natural, low-acid type of coffee that will lower the quantity of acid your stomach may produce. However consuming Longevity Coffee on an empty stomach is ill-advised as well.
