When our brain can’t able to process this hormone properly, it causes anxiety and depression.

Throwing a cup of coffee on top of that empty stomach causes even more anxiety by boosting your body’s cortisol and adrenaline levels.

That will leave you feeling jittery, nervous and weak.

If you’re like many Americans in the morning, you’ll likely respond to that dehydration by reaching for yet another cup of coffee, making things even worse for yourself.

4. Loss of appetite

If you drink a cup of coffee on an empty stomach right after getting from the bed, you won`t feel the need to eat because your stomach will fell full for some time. After a while, your organism will get used to this and it won`t feel the need for breakfast.

This may seem great in the beginning because you`ll start losing weight, but have in mind that breakfast is very important because it gives you the nutrients and the energy your body needs to be able to function during the day.
