Through the years, we have been taught to have all the good stuff on an empty stomach, be it almonds or an apple. These food items are believed to have a positive effect on our body. However, there are a lot of other things too that can backfire if taken on an empty stomach! Here is what you shouldn't be doing on an empty stomach:
Drinking tea or coffee is highly not recommended on an empty stomach. This can create a lot of problems in your digestive system and make you uncomfortable. An increase in the acidic level of the body can even make you vomit. If you really wish to have it on an empty stomach, make sure you eat something with it. May be a biscuit or even a few fox nuts will do.
Your body just can't function without energy and if you switch to heavy workouts on an empty stomach, you will fail to work out well. This is because your body will not have enough energy to work out. Working out heavy on an empty stomach will also not make you build up muscle mass.
Never ever drink alcohol on an empty stomach or else you will have a really bad hangover. Make sure you snack on something before really heading to the bar. Otherwise, your body will absorb what you drink two times fast and it will take too long for your body to break it down.
You will not be able to have a sound sleep if you sleep on an empty stomach. Your body needs a good glucose level to have a good sleep. It is best to consume something before sleeping. Dairy products are a good option to consume before going to sleep.
Eating something spicy on an empty stomach can make you face a lot of stomach problems. It can create problems in your stomach lining. There should be something in your stomach so that the spicy food blends in well and doesn't cause any irritation.
Chewing gums usually produce a digestive acid when they reach the stomach. However, when your stomach is empty, this acid creates gastric issues and causes harm to your stomach lining. If you really wish to chew one, pick the one that comes with a natural sweetener.
