This Is What Happens When You Drink a Coffee on an Empty Stomach.

The first thing most Americans do in the morning is start the dripper to get in that first cup of joe before heading off to work.
Some people don’t even eat breakfast and just go straight for the mug as they run out of the house.
Sometimes during crunch-times and busy days where lunch or a snack aren’t an option, a person will go for a cup of coffee instead to try to curb hunger and increase energy.
Drinking coffee on an empty stomach, however, can have negative detriments to one’s health.

1. Stomach Acid Increases
Coffee on an empty stomach increases acidity.
This higher level of stomach acid creates problems for heartburn and indigestion throughout the day.
High acidity can eventually lead to severe abdominal issues such as Stomach Ulcers, Heartburn, Irritable bowel syndrome and Acid reflux disease.
Cheaper coffee usually has higher acidity, which can further exacerbate issues.
This is one of the reasons why coffee should be bought for quality over quantity.
