JAKARTA — For those of you who have the habit of drinking coffee before breakfast, it is advisable to stop the habit. Because, it can endanger health.
Quoted from Kompas.com, the results of a recent study published in the British Journal of Nutrition, explained that drinking coffee before breakfast can acutely disrupt the body’s metabolism.
“It’s best to consume coffee after breakfast, especially after a bad night’s sleep to balance the stimulating effects of coffee with its potential to interfere with glucose metabolism,” Harry Smith, a researcher at the Center for Nutrition, Exercise & Metabolism University of Bath, told Inverse.
To find out how the quality of sleep at night and morning coffee before breakfast affects metabolism, researchers enrolled 29 healthy men and women as participants.
The result, participants who consumed black coffee after sleeping soundly, substantially increased blood glucose at breakfast by about 50 percent.
While these results do not necessarily put a person at risk for diabetes or other metabolic disorders, the researchers say it can still slowly affect health.
“ The study predicts future cardiometabolic events. And a response that is repeated over a long period of time can certainly have an impact on health, such as reduced insulin sensitivity, ” explains Smith.
Overall, this study suggests that drinking coffee after a poor quality night’s sleep does not make the body tolerate sugar in breakfast.
This is because the caffeine contained in coffee beans has a negative effect on sensors in the muscles that help remove glucose from the blood, resulting in a higher blood glucose response.
Caffeine also stimulates greater release of lipids into the blood which negatively impacts our muscles’ ability to excrete glucose from the blood.
“If you continue drinking caffeinated coffee before breakfast for a long time, it is possible that this has long-term health implications,” he explained.
“However, our body clocks may also adjust to the spike in blood glucose in the morning,” he continued.
More randomized clinical trials are needed to find out exactly how routine coffee drinking affects daily metabolic function. ***
