Arterial hypertension

Coffee raises blood pressure, so people with hypertension should limit their consumption or give it up completely. This is especially true for people with severe hypertension. TSN writes about this.

Diseases of the stomach and duodenum

Coffee increases the acidity of gastric juice, which can worsen the condition of people with gastritis, gastric ulcers, or duodenal ulcers. You should also not drink coffee on an empty stomach, as this can lead to heartburn and other digestive problems.

Increased anxiety and insomnia

The caffeine in coffee can increase anxiety and insomnia. Therefore, people with these problems should limit their coffee consumption or give it up completely.

Osteoporosis and pregnancy

Coffee can contribute to the leaching of calcium from bones, which increases the risk of osteoporosis. This is especially true for women after menopause. Coffee can also negatively affect the development of the child's bone system during pregnancy. Therefore, women in these periods of life should limit their coffee consumption.

High cholesterol
