American nutritionist Christopher Garner told which foods should not be consumed on an empty stomach.
According to him, in the zone of close attention is breakfast, as well as any meal with a break of more than four hours.
Yeast baking. Yeast acts on the mucous membrane of the stomach in a special way, which is why gases are formed. As a result, bloating and belching. If you want to eat pastries, it is better to enjoy them after a portion of protein and vegetables.
Sugar and sweet fruits. If you drink a sweet drink, eat a ripe banana or a few candies on an empty stomach, the pancreas begins to release insulin, blood sugar drops sharply, and you feel tired, sleepy and apathetic. Therefore, it will not be possible to cheer yourself up with sugar for more than 20 minutes.
Citrus fruits. Oranges, tangerines, grapefruits and lemons irritate the mucous membrane of your stomach, eat away at it and over time can cause gastritis. People with reduced acidity may not be at risk of such problems, but if there are any problems with the gastrointestinal tract or increased acidity, eat an orange at the end of a meal.
Pear and persimmon. These fruits have one thing in common - an extremely high level of fiber, which without helpers can injure the organs of the gastrointestinal tract. As a result, motility slows down, food is absorbed worse, heaviness occurs.
Garlic. Despite its benefits, this product strongly irritates the walls of the stomach, as well as the gall bladder. Chili pepper belongs to the same category.
