A doctor has warned of five lifestyle habits that could seriously put your health at risk, including drinking coffee at certain times of the day.
Coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the UK, with up to 100 million cups consumed every day.
Although coffee is believed to have many health benefits, such as helping to prevent diabetes Type 2 and speeds up weight loss efforts, it may also have some risks.
A doctor urged people to not drink coffee after a certain point in the day.He explained why she never drinks coffee or consumes caffeine after 12 noon.
“Caffeine has a half-life of five to six hours and can still linger in the body before bed, making it difficult for us to fall asleep or stay asleep. Therefore, I really try to avoid any drinks with caffeine in the afternoon,” says general practitioner Tatyana Zakharova specifically for MedicForum.
Lack of sleep is associated with a number of chronic health problems, including heart disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, obesity and depression.
About one in three adults will experience sleep problems at least once in their lifetime.
Drinking the equivalent of a double espresso three hours before bed can set your body clock back by almost an hour, effectively causing jet lag.
The doctor's warning was part of a longer list of habits lifestyle choices that should be avoided or changed for the sake of your health.
The harm of alcohol
“I'm a doctor, and these are five things I don't do or no longer do for my health. The first is drinking alcohol. No amount of alcohol is safe for our health.”
Excessive alcohol consumption is linked to the development of chronic diseases and other health problems, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, liver disease and digestive problems.
It is also associated with cancers of the breast, mouth, throat, esophagus, voice box, liver, colon and rectum. A doctor warns against using plastic food containers. The chemicals have been linked to a variety of health problems, including interference with reproduction, an increased risk of cancer, and dysfunction of the immune and nervous systems. Continuing the doctor's concerns about sleep disturbance caused by caffeine, she recommended against taking regular flights with the effect Red-eye flights, which are flights that depart late at night and arrive early in the morning. “Red-eye flights can significantly disrupt your night's sleep, so I avoid them if possible.” “These can be fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices.” MedicForum previously wrote about healthy fats that thin the blood.
