Can old people drink milk coffee? coffee drinkers

The old people in my family like to drink milk coffee very much, but I have read a lot of reports on the Internet that the elderly drinking too much of these things is bad for their health. I don't know which aspect of their health will be affected if they drink too much. I want to get a relevant reply through the Health reference.

Milk is relatively better than coffee, if the elderly like to drink this kind of drink, they can choose to keep the habit of drinking milk, it is better to have less contact with coffee.

In general, we like to drink strong coffee, and espresso can make people's heart beat faster, cause arrhythmia and excessive excitement, insomnia, etc., thus affecting rest and recovery of physical strength, more unsuitable to drink coffee at night. The cardiovascular function of the elderly is already in a state of decline, which can not stand too much trouble, so it is not recommended that the elderly develop the habit of drinking coffee, even if they like coffee, it should not be too strong.

Milk is relatively suitable for the elderly, and it also has the effect of replenishing calcium, but if there is no habit of drinking milk for a long time, some elderly people may have lactose intolerance and appear abdominal pain, abdominal distension, diarrhea and other symptoms after drinking milk. The elderly with these conditions can drink yogurt or some probiotic dairy products, especially those with deficiency of spleen and stomach.
