- Multiple UK outlets report the guidance as expert advice from Roseway Labs pharmacist Rojina Shams Nateri, not as findings from a new study or an official guideline.
- She recommends starting the day with water, warning that coffee first thing can worsen overnight dehydration and work against the body’s natural wake-up rhythm.
- Drinking coffee on an empty stomach may increase stomach acidity and trigger acid reflux.
- Waiting roughly 60–90 minutes is framed as a way to reduce jitters and help avoid an afternoon energy crash.
- Further tips include prioritising protein at breakfast, limiting early screen time, getting natural morning light, being cautious with cold showers and fasted workouts, and using blood tests to guide B12, iron and magnesium, with magnesium often taken in the evening.
