The voices of experts are becoming increasingly insistent, calling for people to think about what they eat for breakfast.

On an empty stomach, you need to eat not just healthy food, but also food that will not harm your stomach and health in the long term.

It is believed that porridges are very useful in this regard, but porridges come in different types.

Gastroenterologist Evgenia Zarubina told Gazeta.Ru about what kind of porridge you shouldn’t eat on an empty stomach.

Experts are generally in no hurry to call this food healthy, much less suitable for breakfast.

The fact is that the flakes undergo such processing that they lose their beneficial properties.

As a result, they cannot saturate the body and provide energy even for a short period of time.

When they are consumed, the feeling of satiety comes slowly, and the level of glucose and insulin also increases slowly.

As a result, a person stays full longer.
