A common habit among Russians turned out to be harmful to the heart.
We are talking about the custom of drinking a cup of coffee or tea with breakfast.
Doctor Liza Afinskaya issued this warning on her Telegram channel.
According to the expert, the danger primarily concerns those people who have been diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia.
People who suffer from this disease have problems with the formation of hemoglobin in the blood. In turn, if this process is left to its own devices, serious heart problems may subsequently arise.
Having a habit of drinking tea or coffee with breakfast or drinking hot drinks immediately after eating can actually worsen your condition.
The reason is that these drinks aggravate the absorption of iron. Therefore, it is better to drink them an hour before breakfast.
According to Afinskaya, if you cannot eat food without drinking it, then you should limit yourself to regular drinking water, which supports bowel function and does not interfere with stomach activity.
