Dos and don'ts to keep in mind while having coffee

Drinking coffee first thing in the morning might not be as beneficial as you think. Scientifically speaking, cortisol, a natural energy-boosting stress hormone, peaks within the first couple hours after waking. So, it's best to wait until you need that coffee boost. Having coffee on an empty stomach can increase stomach acid, leading to digestive discomfort, acid reflux, and other gastrointestinal issues. It's wiser to enjoy your coffee after having breakfast or a snack.
