Here it is! In some cases, this is simply useless, and sometimes it can backfire.
Yogurt
Are you surprised? No, of course you can eat it. But if you eat yogurt on an empty stomach, then the hydrochloric acid that is in an empty stomach will destroy the lactic acid bacteria contained in the yogurt. In the end, it just won’t do any good.
Pears
The pulp of a pear contains a lot of coarse fiber, which can injure the gastric mucosa, so it is not recommended to eat them on an empty stomach. And by the way, after you have eaten a pear, it is better not to drink raw water.
Tomatoes
The tannins, which tomatoes are rich in, increase the acidity of the stomach. This can lead to the development of gastritis, pancreatitis, or colitis. Similar foods include persimmons and sweet potatoes, and they are also rich in tannins.
Bananas
If you eat bananas on an empty stomach, the level of magnesium in your blood rises sharply, which can negatively affect the functioning of the heart. Plus, eating a banana on an empty stomach can upset your potassium and magnesium balance, leaving you sluggish all day.
Citrus
Oranges, tangerines and grapefruits contain a lot of fruit acid. If you eat these fruits on an empty stomach, they can cause banal heartburn, as well as provoke the development of gastritis.
Coffee
It doesn’t matter if you drink it with caffeine or not, coffee stimulates the production of stomach acid and can cause heartburn and a heavy stomach. And if you constantly replace breakfast with only coffee, a serotonin deficiency develops, which ultimately leads to a depression during the day.
Alcohol
Drinking alcohol on an empty stomach will make you drunk twice as fast. And in the morning you will have a heavy hangover, tk. in this case, the elimination of alcohol breakdown products is slower.
Cold carbonated drinks
Such a habit not only badly affects the gastric mucosa, but also slows down the process of blood flow to it, which ultimately slows down and worsens the digestion process.
Chewing gum
Chewing starts the work of the entire digestive tract, and the stomach begins to secrete the juice necessary for digesting food, and when there is no food in it, but there is a lot of acid, the mucous membrane suffers. As a result, chronic gastritis and colitis develop.
