After all, there\u2019s no better alarm clock than a warm mug of our favorite brew. And you don\u2019t even have to feel guilty about your daily habit; drinking coffee has tons of health benefits, such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rd.com\/health\/wellness\/coffee-and-dementia\/\">protecting your brain from dementia<\/a>.\u00a0Although there\u2019s nothing wrong with prioritizing your daily java fix, you should be wary of drinking it on an empty stomach.\r\n\r\nWhy? For starters, coffee can take a serious toll on your digestive system. All that java will jumpstart the stomach\u2019s production of acid, and if you haven\u2019t already eaten something, the acid could damage your stomach\u2019s lining and cause indigestion and heartburn. That goes for decaffeinated coffee, too.\r\n\r\nBut that\u2019s not the only risk. Drinking coffee on an empty stomach \u201ccan give you jitters, shakes, and other withdrawal effects, including mood changes,\u201d Dr. Adam Simon, chief medical officer at PushDoctor.co.uk, told\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/life-style\/health\/649819\/morning-coffee-caffeine-first-thing-empty-stomach-damage-health-to-your-body-espresso\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><em>Express<\/em><\/a>. It can also increase symptoms of anxiety, as well as boost your heart rate, irritability, and inability to focus.\r\n\r\nWhat\u2019s more, sipping a cup of Joe first thing in the morning actually sabotages your circadian rhythm. Here\u2019s what we mean: Your internal clock releases a hormone called cortisol when you wake up, making you feel alert and energized. Yet contrary to what you might expect, research has shown that consuming coffee actually decreases your cortisol levels. Translation? More often than not, that early morning pick-me-up will backfire, causing you to feel sleepier. Try brewing a cup of joe at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rd.com\/food\/fun\/best-time-to-drink-coffee\/\">the best time of day to drink coffee<\/a>, instead.\r\n\r\nOf course, some people have consumed coffee on an empty stomach for years and felt completely fine. If that applies to you, then by all means, continue drinking! But for everyone else, certified dietitian Leslie Langevin, MS, RD, CD, recommends pairing your caffeine fix with a hearty breakfast\u2014or at least a snack if your tummy isn\u2019t rumbling.\r\n\r\n<em>[Source:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.popsugar.com\/fitness\/Bad-Drink-Coffee-Empty-Stomach-44146230\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">PopSugar
