Can drinking coffee at the right time be good for your stomach?

Now, as coffee gradually fills the range of beverage choices, the health of coffee is also beginning to cause controversy. Coffee has a refreshing effect. If you have a cup in the morning, you will be refreshed all day. If you drink coffee when there is food in your stomach, stimulating the secretion of gastric juice will promote the digestion and absorption of food, that is, drinking coffee after a meal is good for stomach health.

Many white-collar workers have the habit of drinking a cup of coffee after getting up or after meals, and even some coffee lovers are reluctant to put down their coffee cups during work breaks. When many people need to stay up late, in order to keep themselves awake, coffee will generally become the first choice. However, many people think that drinking too much coffee is harmful to health, especially the negative effect on the stomach, so many people think that replacing coffee with tea will be more beneficial to health.

But is this really the case? Is it really the medical basis that replacing coffee with tea is more healthy?

Takashi Suda, a life consultant in Shinjuku, believes that coffee is bad for stomach health. Exactly what irritates the stomach is the caffeine in coffee, which boosts gastric juice secretion, and the amount of caffeine is the same in coffee and green tea. The reason why coffee is considered to be harmful to stomach health is more because the black color of coffee gives people a negative impression.

Caffeine is a commonly used ingredient in drugs and needs special attention when given to people with stomach ulcers, according to Takashi Suda.

Sukuda also said that whether coffee hurts the stomach or protects the stomach mainly depends on the timing of drinking coffee. If you drink coffee when there is food in your stomach, stimulating the secretion of gastric juice will promote the digestion and absorption of food, that is, drinking coffee after a meal is good for stomach health. But on the other hand, if you drink coffee in the empty stomach, the secretion of gastric juice will damage the gastric mucosa, which in turn damage the health of the stomach.

Therefore, people who like to drink coffee should pay more attention to the timing of drinking coffee, and it is best to drink it when there is food in their stomach.
