Drinking a cup of coffee for breakfast can not only wake you up, but also help promote defecation. A cup of coffee contains an average of 40-180 mg of caffeine. Caffeine is a typical stimulant that can stimulate gastrointestinal motility, produce a laxative effect, and can improve constipation. However, it is interesting to note that the laxative effect of drinking coffee in the morning is particularly significant, while drinking coffee at other times has less effect.

The large amounts of caffeine and acidic oils in coffee will enhance the contraction function of the muscles of the digestive tract, thereby accelerating intestinal defecation. Because of this, drinking too much coffee at breakfast may increase your risk of diarrhea.
