A cup of coffee has its own set of benefits and there are several studies that vouch for the positive effects of coffee on health from longevity, prevention of heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and even cancer. However, drinking coffee first thing in the morning could do more harm than good and lead to digestive issues, blood sugar imbalance, spike in stress levels among other things. Also early morning is probably the worst time to have coffee as our cortisol levels are already high at the time and drinking coffee could further increase the level of the stress hormone which may lead to mood swings and increase in anxiety. (Also read: Is your coffee giving you cancer? Here's what a cancer surgeon has to say) So what is the best time to have coffee? What happens when we drink coffee immediately after waking up and that too on an empty stomach. Nutritionist Lovneet Batra in her recent Instagram post answers these questions. "For many people, coffee is an essential part of their morning routine, much before anything else, but do you know about the possible side effects that come from drinking coffee on an empty stomach," writes Batra listing reasons why coffee isn’t great first thing in the morning.
