Q: Can I drink coffee on an empty stomach?
A: While coffee can be beneficial in the morning, drinking it on an empty stomach can sometimes cause stomach irritation or acid reflux. To avoid this, try pairing your coffee with a small breakfast or opt for a coffee with less acidity.
Q: How much coffee is too much?
A: It’s generally safe to drink up to 3-4 cups of coffee a day, which equals about 400 milligrams of caffeine. Going beyond that can lead to jitteriness, anxiety, or difficulty sleeping.
Q: Does coffee help with weight loss?
A: Coffee can aid weight loss by boosting metabolism and providing energy for workouts, but it's not a magic solution. Pairing coffee with a healthy diet and exercise plan is the best approach.
Q: Can I drink coffee if I’m sensitive to caffeine?
A: If you’re sensitive to caffeine, opt for decaffeinated coffee or smaller servings to enjoy the taste and benefits without the jitters. Cold brew coffee typically has lower acidity, making it a gentler choice on sensitive stomachs.
Q: Can I still enjoy coffee if I’m trying to reduce sugar intake?
A: Absolutely! You can drink coffee black, or use sugar substitutes like stevia or monk fruit. If you prefer sweetness, try cinnamon or vanilla extract for flavor without the added sugar.
