Yogurt, a cup of coffee, and fresh orange juice this is what most people probably picture when they think of a perfect breakfast. Unfortunately, only a few people are aware that some foods are not very good for us if eaten on an empty stomach.
Today's video will discuss a simple infographic that will guide you through what we should eat and what we should avoid in the morning.
Eat these 4 foods on an empty stomach:
1. Fresh Fruit
Fruit is an incredibly healthy food group: packed with vitamins, nutrients, fiber and water.
Incorporating fruit into your diet, the proper way, allows your digestive system to reap more powerful benefits through vitamin intake and improved digestion.
2. Oatmeal, Buckwheat and Cornmeal Porridge
Eating oatmeal first thing in the morning or on an empty stomach has several advantages.
Buckwheat and cornmeal porridge also stimulate digestion while lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
3. Honey
Honey helps to awaken your immune and digestive systems. Honey has been shown to help with “lazy bowel syndrome,” and other stomach issues. It also acts as a cleaning agent by ridding the body of harmful viruses and bacteria.
4. Eggs
Eggs are extremely good for you and provide a myriad of health benefits whenever they are consumed.
These four foods will improve your overall health, aid in digestion and are excellent breakfast foods!
Avoid these 6 foods when your stomach is empty:
1. Tomatoes
Tomatoes, although packed with nutrients and high amounts of Vitamin C, also contain high levels of tannic acid which increases acidity in the stomach and can lead to gastric ulcers. Save the tomatoes for dinner salad.
2. Yogurt
The primary reason to avoid putting yogurt on an empty stomach is because the benefits of the lactic acid bacteria found in yogurt is rendered ineffective due to the high acidity of stomach acid. Therefore you gain very few of yogurt’s health benefits when consumed first thing in the morning.
3. Processed Sugar
We all are aware that too much sugar is bad for you. But did you know that the sugar added to most processed foods–such as high fructose corn syrup and other such sweeteners have the same effect on the liver as drinking too much alcohol?
The sugar that is found naturally in fruits is counteracted by it’s fiber but copious amounts of fructose–especially on an empty stomach, overloads the liver and can lead to liver damage. Skip the breakfast donuts.
4. Bananas
Bananas are one of the best known diet foods. It satiates, assists in relieving constipation and is considered by some health experts to be a super food.
However, bananas contain high amounts of magnesium and potassium which can lead to an imbalance of magnesium and potassium in blood if you eat bananas on a completely empty stomach. Bananas are a prime example of eating the right food at the wrong time.
5. Tea and Coffee
Drinking coffee on an empty stomach increases acidity, which in turn causes heartburn and indigestion throughout the day.
Drinking tea on an empty stomach can suppress the secretion of gastric juices and reduces bile and acid in the stomach which aid in the overall digestion of foods and is essential to the process of secreting excess cholesterol from the body.
6. Alcohol
With no food in the stomach, alcohol travels straight to the bloodstream. Once alcohol is in the bloodstream, it’s quickly distributed throughout the entire body, causing the blood vessels to widen and result in temporary feelings of warmth, temporary decrease in pulse rate, as well as blood pressure.
