Beware that you drink coffee in this way .. it may cause serious damage to your body
Dr. Roxana Baker, an American nutritionist, revealed that consuming coffee with food can lead to a deficiency of iron in the blood
According to her, the symptoms of iron deficiency appear in the form of skin pallor, weakness, shortness of breath and dizziness, and the reason for the appearance of these symptoms is the lack of body production of red blood cells, as coffee can cause an exacerbation of iron deficiency in the blood when taken with breakfast in the morning or lunch
And she said: "Coffee contains polyphenols (chlorogenic acid) that prevent the absorption of iron in the body, and this is confirmed by studies, as it became clear to researchers that iron absorption decreases from 90 to 40 percent in people who take coffee with a meal
The expert added, "Drinking coffee at least 30 minutes after eating a meal to prevent iron deficiency in the body, and it is not recommended to drink coffee on an empty stomach, and drinking coffee an hour before eating causes iron malabsorption as well
