Coffee Pain Link: New Study Shocks Coffee Lovers
7 Dec
Summary
- Increased coffee intake linked to higher pain in older adults.
- Oily fish consumption associated with significant pain reduction.
- Coffee before breakfast may cause digestive pain and heartburn.
A recent study has uncovered a potential link between daily coffee consumption and increased chronic pain in older adults. Research from Poland indicated that individuals who increased their coffee intake experienced a notable rise in pain intensity over a two-year period.
In contrast, the same study found that a greater intake of oily fish was associated with a significant reduction in pain. Scientists attribute this potential benefit to the anti-inflammatory properties of omega-3 fatty acids found in fish.
Further research also suggests that drinking coffee before breakfast, particularly after a poor night's sleep, could negatively impact blood sugar control and lead to digestive discomfort, highlighting the importance of mindful consumption.
