1. Coffee
Maybe many coffee lovers start the day by sipping this drink. However, don’t drink it on an empty stomach.
According to Real Simple, the caffeine in coffee encourages the release of gastrin or a hormone that secretes stomach acid. The impact can cause reflux symptoms, such as nausea, bloating and regurgitation.
This effect can actually even occur when the stomach is filled with food. But according to gastroenterologist, Dr. Robynne Chutkan, MD., FASGE., when the stomach is empty the effects can be more disturbing. To avoid this problem, you can eat a snack before drinking coffee. These foods should be high in protein or fat, for example boiled eggs or peanut butter.
2. Soft Drinks
Fizzy drinks can cause gastrointestinal disorders such as bloating and belching, especially on an empty stomach. According to Dr. Chutkan, carbon dioxide bubbles from carbonated drinks can create a lot of pressure in the stomach, causing discomfort and belching.
Another thing to watch out for is the sugar content in sweetened soft drinks. These drinks can cause a spike in sugar levels. Like sweet foods, sweet drinks consumed on an empty stomach can increase blood sugar more quickly and potentially cause a decrease in energy.
3. Energy Drinks
Energy drinks contain high levels of caffeine and sugar. According to Healthline, these drinks can pose short-term health risks. If you consume it on an empty stomach, the contents will be absorbed into the bloodstream very quickly. This can increase the negative risks of these drinks.
Health risks from energy drinks include caffeine overdose, cardiovascular problems, dehydration, headaches, stomach and other digestive aches, and kidney or liver problems. Not only that, this drink can also cause stress, anxiety and insomnia.
4. Caffeinated Tea
Tea with a high caffeine content has the potential to cause digestive problems, for example black tea. Therefore, it is recommended to have a snack before brewing and drinking tea with caffeine content.
Apart from black tea, there is green tea which contains more caffeine than other similar drinks. Just like black tea, drinking green tea triggers symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders with lower intensity.
5. Yogurt
The high probiotic and lactic acid content makes yogurt very good for the intestines. However, some people are sensitive to lactic acid.
In this case, consuming yogurt on an empty stomach can increase stomach acid production. Furthermore, stomach acid can destroy some of the beneficial probiotics in the yoghurt itself.
With this consideration, yoghurt is better consumed when the stomach is full. That way, some of the lactic acid can be absorbed and not damage other beneficial components.
6. Orange Juice
If you have a history of digestive problems or a sensitive stomach, then you should avoid drinking this drink on an empty stomach. Please note, oranges contain citric acid which can irritate the lining of the digestive tract.
7. Alcohol
Food that enters the body will prevent alcohol from entering the small intestine quickly. Alcohol will be processed slowly so that it does not affect the body’s system too quickly.
Thus, the risk of alcohol poisoning also decreases. Consuming certain amounts of alcohol can affect the ability to think, control body movements, and the brain, heart, liver and pancreas.
Starting the day with an empty stomach is actually an unhealthy habit. Detikers should continue to consume food according to nutritional needs, even in limited portions. Especially if you want to enjoy drinks that should not be consumed on an empty stomach. On the brain, heart, liver and pancreas.
