Drinking coffee can have benefits for longevity and aging, but timing matters. New research indicates that having coffee on an empty stomach, especially after poor sleep, can negatively impact blood glucose levels. It suggests that consuming breakfast before coffee may help maintain better metabolism and blood sugar control.
• Drinking coffee before breakfast can increase blood glucose response by 50%.
• A study showed that one night of poor sleep does not significantly harm metabolism.
• Experts recommend having breakfast first, then coffee if needed.
• Starting the day with coffee after a bad night can impair blood sugar control.
Understanding the right time to drink coffee is essential for overall health. Many people rely on coffee to wake up, but doing so on an empty stomach can lead to unwanted spikes in blood sugar. Adjusting this habit could improve metabolic health and lead to better energy levels throughout the day.
