Natural coffee without sugar and other additives invigorates and is good for health, said endocrinologist Roman Terushkin. However, if the body does not react in any way to coffee, this may be an alarming symptom, the doctor warned in a comment for aif.ru.
The doctor explained to the coffee lovers that everyone has an individual sensitivity to this drink: for some, blood pressure increases after it, for others it decreases. But if the body does not react to coffee at all, does not feel energetic, then this is a symptom of dysfunction of the adrenal glands, the doctor indicated the problem.
„In this case, the adrenal glands of coffee drinkers do not perceive this product as a stress factor and do not produce the hormones cortisol and adrenaline in response to its intake,” said Terushkin.
The doctor advises to drink only Americano or espresso in small quantities. Better avoid lattes and cappuccinos, as they contain sugar and milk, and these are no longer drinks, but a complete breakfast, concluded the endocrinologist.
