Malaysian actor Zahiril Adzim has publicly shared his intention to curb his excessive coffee consumption, a habit he admits has become an addiction. The decision stems from growing health worries, prompted by concerning symptoms and advice from loved ones and medical professionals.
Zahiril revealed on Threads that his wife, Shera Aiyob, and his doctor have both expressed concerns about his daily coffee intake. This dual encouragement has spurred him to make a change, as he fears the ultimate consequence of ignoring his health could be fatal. The actor admitted that his day traditionally began with coffee immediately upon waking.
I used to be the type to have coffee first thing when I woke up. But I want to change this habit because my wife has advised me, and the doctor has also advised me. I'm afraid the angel of death might be the one to advise me. By then, nothing will be possible.
He has also engaged with his followers on social media, seeking advice on the optimal time to consume caffeine, considering the body's natural cortisol levels upon waking. This indicates a thoughtful approach to modifying his habit, aiming for a healthier balance rather than outright elimination.
Previously, Zahiril had shared unsettling health symptoms, including chest tightness, shortness of breath, nervousness, rapid heartbeat, and trembling hands. While he later deleted the post, it had already raised concerns among his fans, who urged him to seek a medical examination. His current efforts to address his coffee consumption appear to be a direct response to these health scares.
If I wake up around 5 to 6 am, our cortisol is high, right? Then, from what time is best for caffeine intake?
