Morning is the time when the body wakes up. Therefore, it is better to eat something tasty for breakfast. This will help to raise your mood for the whole day.

But it is worth remembering that some foods can be harmful to health if eaten on an empty stomach.

1. Any sweets

Anything that contains a lot of sugar stimulates a significant release of insulin. And this can cause diabetes. Therefore, it is better to refuse breakfast, which consists of sweets.

2. Smoked meats

If you like to have sandwiches with sausage for breakfast, it is better to refuse it. The thing is that smoked sausage contains a lot of salt, spices and preservatives. And they can lead to stomach diseases, as they irritate its walls.

3. Bananas

Although they are healthy, they are not the best idea for breakfast. It is all about magnesium, which is present in the fruit. If you eat such products on an empty stomach, you can provoke heart disease.

4. Baking

Here we are talking specifically about yeast dough products. Because they provoke the formation of gases in the intestines, and this causes bloating.

5. Vegetables

Fresh vegetables irritate the stomach walls and can cause gastritis.

6. Orange juice

Although this product is healthy, especially if it is prepared at home, it is extremely dangerous to drink it on an empty stomach. After all, citrus fruits contain acids that provoke the development of ulcers.

7. Coffee

Many people are used to drinking this invigorating drink for breakfast. It is better to give up this habit as soon as possible. Coffee causes the secretion of gastric juice, and this irritates the intestines.

8. Pears

The fiber that these fruits are rich in can also damage the stomach walls.

9. Yogurt

This product is very useful, especially if it is natural yogurt, but it is strictly not recommended to eat it on an empty stomach. It's all about the same acids that irritate the gastrointestinal tract.

What can you eat for breakfast

A healthy breakfast is protein, complex carbohydrates with vitamins. For example, an egg with porridge, a sandwich with cheese, nuts with berries.

It could be muesli, oatmeal with a small piece of white chicken meat, etc.

As for invigorating drinks, it is better to wait with them. You can drink a cup of tea or coffee half an hour after breakfast.
