JAKARTA - Coffee and tea are good drinks for the body. However, in consuming it is recommended not to combine it with other additional ingredients and at the right time, so that the benefits are digested properly.

Quoted from Food NDTV, on Friday, August 22, 2025, there are some worst times for drinking coffee and tea. Drinking coffee and tea at these times will only reduce the health of the body, so it should be avoided.

1. When the stomach is empty

Coffee and tea are drinks that contain high caffeine. Therefore, it is not good to eat it in the morning when the stomach is still empty.

Caffeins consumed when an empty stomach can interfere with the production of cortisol, the main stress hormone, and cause anxiety to lose balance. In people with GERD, drinking coffee with an empty stomach can trigger severe symptoms.

2. When eating

Coffee and tea should be avoided at the same time as eating. This is because coffee and tea are acidic which can inhibit the digestion of the food consumed.

In addition, tea can also interfere with the absorption of iron if taken shortly after eating. To optimize digestion and nutritional absorption, you should avoid drinking coffee and tea within an hour before and after eating.

3. In the afternoon

Consuming tea and coffee should be avoided in the afternoon, especially after 16.00. The cafe consumed by night or at night, can interfere with sleep.

Caffeine can inhibit the hormone melatonin and affect the body's sirkadian. The impact includes difficulty sleeping, poor sleep, anxiety, increased blood pressure, digestive disorders, and long health problems if they continue to be done.
