Food items are not recommended to be eaten on an empty stomach

German nutritionists consider breakfast one of the most important meals of the day, but there are some food items that it is best to avoid eating on an empty stomach.

According to the Fit For Fun health website, German nutritionists advise to abandon eating raw vegetables that are rich in dietary fiber, vitamins and mineral elements, because they are difficult to digest in the first half of the day, and may cause irritation of the mucous membrane of the stomach.

And the site adds, it is not recommended to eat yogurt on an empty stomach, because it loses many of its benefits before it reaches the intestine. Therefore, it is preferable to take it 1.5 hours after eating the main meal, or before bed.

Breakfast is not the best time to eat citrus fruits, such as oranges, grapefruit and others, because they cause heartburn. You should also refrain from eating bananas for breakfast because they cause a sharp increase in the level of blood sugar.
