When it comes to what you can't eat on an empty stomach, many people will list a long list of foods. Some foods can be eaten on an empty stomach, but some foods are not recommended. These foods that are not recommended for you to eat on an empty stomach will cause more harm to your body. I hope you will try to avoid eating these foods on an empty stomach after understanding the list of foods.

1 persimmon

Persimmons are considered good luck in the eyes of Chinese people. The so-called "柿柿如意" comes from the homonym of "柿". When ripe, persimmons are very sweet, and many people like them. Even in the cold winter, you can buy this delicious fruit.

It's just that persimmons contain a certain amount of tannic acid. Although the content of tannic acid in mature persimmons is low, the content of tannic acid in persimmons with a crisp and sweet taste is higher, mainly concentrated in the persimmon skin. Eating persimmons on an empty stomach, especially eating persimmons with the skin, these tannic acids will form stones under the action of stomach acid and affect your health. Even if you eat persimmons after a meal, you should pay attention to the amount you eat to avoid affecting your health.

2. Drinks

Alcohol plays an important role in our lives. When friends and family gather together, alcohol is always present on the table. Some people drink a few sips even when they eat at home. However, many people drink with an empty stomach. This practice not only affects stomach health, but also makes it easier to get drunk.

In addition to water, alcohol can also be partially absorbed in the stomach. When the stomach is empty, the stomach absorbs more alcohol. Alcohol flushes the stomach wall, and the gastric mucosa is constantly eroded by alcohol. Damage to the gastric mucosa may cause gastric ulcers or even gastric perforation. Although netizens are repeatedly reminded not to drink, it may be difficult to completely quit drinking in real life. When you have to drink, remember to eat some staple food before drinking. The carbohydrates contained in the staple food can promote the excretion of alcohol and reduce the harm of alcohol to the human body.

3. Lychee

Lychees are a fruit that is unique to the south. When lychees are on the market, many people find it hard to resist the temptation of lychees. However, when eating lychees, many people experience "hypoglycemia". This "hypoglycemia" is actually the various problems that occur when eating lychees on an empty stomach. Why do these problems occur when eating lychees on an empty stomach? The reason is closely related to the fructose contained in lychees.

The reason why lychees taste sweet is mainly related to fructose. The sweetness of fructose is much higher than that of sucrose and glucose. Although fructose can also serve as an energy substance, it cannot be directly absorbed by the human body. It needs to be converted into glucose in the liver before it can be used by the human body. Energy (glucose) is also consumed in this conversion process. In the fasting state, the blood sugar level is also much lower than that after a meal. At this time, if additional glucose is consumed, hypoglycemia symptoms will occur.

4 Cold drinks

In summer, many people like to drink cold drinks, and feel comfortable after drinking them. However, although cold drinks bring a cool feeling, there are also precautions, one of which is that they cannot be consumed on an empty stomach. What are the adverse consequences of consuming cold drinks on an empty stomach?

One of the characteristics of cold drinks is that they are at a low temperature. Cold drinks taken out of the freezer are generally at 1°C, while our body temperature is above 30°C. Cold food makes the mouth feel a little cold instantly, but after entering the stomach, its low temperature affects the secretion of gastric acid and the action of digestive enzymes, reduces gastric motility, and causes problems such as insufficient gastric motility and indigestion.

5. Coffee

After getting up in the morning and drinking a cup of coffee, many people will instantly feel refreshed. The caffeine contained in coffee has the effect of refreshing the mind, which can make people better devote themselves to work and study. However, there is a time to drink coffee, and it is not suitable to drink coffee on an empty stomach.

Caffeine is a strong irritant to the stomach and will also make the stomach produce more gastric acid, which may cause acid reflux. Moreover, if sugar is added when drinking coffee, the sugar is more easily absorbed by the body when the stomach is empty. Drinking coffee on an empty stomach frequently will not only cause stomach problems, but also obesity.

After getting up in the morning, remember not to eat the above foods on an empty stomach. You can eat other foods to fill your stomach first, and then eat the above foods. Remember to save the blacklist of fasting foods and share it with your family and friends to avoid adverse effects on your health.
