This article highlights 5 different kinds of foods that shouldn't be eaten on an empty stomach and why.

It's long been told that eating breakfast is best.

However, the kinds of foods we eat as breakfast differ from person to person.

Regardless of our economic, social or national background, it's always important to keep in mind that not every food eaten in the morning is helpful to our health.

Please read carefully about these foods and ponder on why they must not be consumed on an empty stomach.

1. Coffee

Coffee is taking by most people as breakfast.

Though it has healthful benefits, coffee can harm your well-being if not taken at the right time.

Coffee produces high levels of acidity in the body and may result in heartburn and indigestion if taken on an empty stomach.

2. Bananas

Banana is a well-meaning fruit which is loaded with lots of nutrients and may contribute to strengthening the immune system against infection.

However, on an empty stomach, bananas increase the level of magnesium in the blood which is no good news for the heart.

They also have acidic content which may lead to bowel issues.

Another thing worth considering is the natural sugar in bananas, which has the ability to fill you up temporarily, but leave you empty- stomached soon after.

3. Spices

We live in an era where people are increasingly developing a strong desire for spices.

Most of the foods we consume are nothing short of spices.

However, it's important to know that consuming spices on an empty stomach can negatively impact on your health.

Spices facilitate the production of acid in the stomach leading to digestive problems.

4. Citrus fruits

Fruits are no doubt a remarkable catalyst for the body, especially when eaten at the right time.

Eating fruits with acidic content such as guavas or oranges on an empty stomach can create problems for you.

As you may know, the stomach naturally produces a hydrochloric acid.

Consumption of citric fruits at such an improper time may lead to an unnecessary boost to acid production.

This additional acid may result in stomach issues such as gastric ulcers or even gastritis.

Heartburn is also a possible reaction to eating citrus fruits on an empty stomach, along with a slower metabolism.

5. Yoghurt

Yoghurt contains a nutrient called lactic acid which strengthens the bones and promotes good bacteria in our body thrive.

However, this acidic content when consumed on an empty stomach may interfere with the hydrochloric acid present in the stomach, as this will lead to unpleasant acid reflux.
