You must have heard at least once that coffee is not good for your health but perhaps you have never heard why this may be so or if it is even true in the first place. The fact is that coffee can actually be healthy for you in moderate amounts but when overdone, it could have negative side effects. In this article, we’re going to show you the 3 reasons why you should not drink too much coffee.
1. Caffeine
Coffee contains the chemical caffeine, which raises the level of the stress hormone, catecholamine, causing cortisol to be released, and making you to be stressed, ans increasing your blood sugar.
High blood sugar levels can cause atherosclerosis, which is blockage of the arteries, which may lead to heart and other cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes.
Caffeine also disrupts sleep patterns so you tend not to sleep as long or as deeply as you should, making the benefits of sleep to occur less frequently with you.
Caffeine may cause you to feel anxious, jittery and even experience heart palpitations all of which may worsen into panic attacks where you have an overwhelming sense of fear and anxiety.
2. Bad For Ulcers
Coffee contains acids which means ulcer sufferers should avoid it completely. But not only do they worsen or aggravate already existing ulcer cases, new studies have also shown that these acids also help in creating new ulcers by weakening the stomach lining.
3. Bad For Digestive System
Coffee also causes indigestion problems as when you drink it, Hydrochloric acid (HCL) is released in the stomach. HCL, in the body, is responsible for digestion of meals and other things you eat. So when you drink coffee and HCL is released, your body will produce less HCL, later on when you do eat a meal, and food will pass through the digestive system without getting digested properly. This may lead to stomach aches and trouble defecating. Also HCL released into an empty stomach may cause or aggravate ulcer.
So now you know a few reasons why drinking too much coffee is not good for your health. Remember them the next time you’re about to have your second or third cup of coffee for the day.
