From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, coffee is stimulating and can refresh the mind, but drinking too much may damage the body's yang energy. The "yang energy" here refers to the body's life energy, which is manifested as a person's spirit and vitality. Long-term and excessive drinking of coffee may cause an imbalance in the body's yin and yang, resulting in problems such as mental overexcitement and insomnia. Substances such as caffeine in coffee can also stimulate the gastrointestinal tract. For people with weak gastrointestinal function, it may aggravate symptoms such as stomach discomfort and diarrhea.
