Nutritionist Panchenko: daily coffee consumption negatively affects the liver and blood pressure She recalled in an interview with RIA Novosti that the consumption of this drink in large quantities negatively affects the liver, pancreas and blood pressure.
“I recommend everyone to give up coffee for at least two weeks (as an experiment). It can significantly disrupt gastric secretion, therefore, proteins and iron from food will be absorbed worse, and the pathogenic microflora in the intestine, on the contrary, will begin to grow, ”the expert explained.
Panchenko noted that in some people, caffeine causes discharge of bile. For those who suffer from constipation, the effect will be positive, on the other hand, too fast passage of food does not allow the intestines to suck out useful substances from it.

The nutritionist added that two or three cups of high-quality coffee a day can serve as a source of the hormone of joy serotonin, but with excessive consumption will lead to sleep disturbances, irritability. In addition, caffeine is addictive, concluded Panchenko.
