The function and effect of coffee and its scope of application

It's great to get up in the morning and have a cup of coffee! In addition to the good spirit of tasting coffee for a whole day, it can also help gastrointestinal peristalsis. Many people know that there are many benefits of drinking coffee, but often some people will ask if you can drink coffee on an empty stomach. What happens to coffee on an empty stomach? The so-called fasting is actually when there is no food to eat or when you are hungry, there is no food in your stomach. Can you drink coffee in this situation? The answer is no! Why? There are two reasons. The first reason is that coffee itself can stimulate gastric acid secretion, especially black coffee. When there is no food in the stomach, stimulating excessive gastric acid secretion will cause gastrointestinal discomfort, and some people will even have stomachache. Especially patients with gastric ulcers should avoid drinking coffee on an empty stomach, which is also the reason why people say that drinking coffee on an empty stomach will hurt the stomach.

The second reason not to drink coffee on an empty stomach is because coffee stimulates the lower esophageal sphincter to relax slightly, that is, to relax a little. This sphincter was originally used to close the door between the esophagus and the stomach. Because drinking coffee on an empty stomach stimulates sphincter relaxation, it is easier to produce gastroesophageal reflux. It is particularly obvious for some people to drink coffee on an empty stomach, so they suggest that eating something and drinking coffee will not hurt the stomach. And less likely to hurt the esophagus.

Is it useful to switch to a latte with milk or foam?

It is often said that drinking coffee on an empty stomach will hurt the stomach, so switching to coffee with milk or milk, such as latte, cappuccino or even mocha with chocolate, is not very helpful. Drinking coffee on an empty stomach is mainly due to the stimulation of caffeine to the human body. Latte or cappuccino is indeed due to the addition of milk, the proportion of coffee is low, but it still contains caffeine. Instead of having a little something to eat and drink, a complete breakfast is definitely not just a cup of coffee, but at least with bread, cake, rice balls, omelets, hamburgers, sandwiches or other foods. afternoon tea should at least be paired with snacks or cakes and coffee, so as to reduce the chance of drinking coffee on an empty stomach and enjoy the benefits of coffee.
