This is because coffee primarily negatively affects the immature nervous, digestive, and cardiovascular systems of a child, which can be harmful to their health, explains pediatrician Marina KIROVA.
This drink causes nervous excitement, accelerates heart rate, and contributes to the elimination of vitamins and minerals from the body.
Moreover, caffeine increases blood sugar levels, which can lead to serious problems with the pancreas in children.
Therefore, it is recommended to exclude coffee from the diet of children up to 14-15 years old. However, from the age of 7-8, it is permissible to allow a child to drink decaffeinated coffee, but even in this case, it is important to maintain moderation.
