Foods & Drinks To Be Avoided Before Breakfast & Bedtime.

It is often said that digestion is the root cause of several health issues that can lead to chronic conditions in the long run. 

According to health experts, one of the major reasons why this happens to us is that most of us start our day in the wrong way. 

What we eat on an empty stomach is something that plays an important role in determining our health. 

We consume many things unknowingly on an empty stomach, which can seriously affect the digestion process, this causes stomach problems and fatigue throughout the day. 

Now, the question arises as to what one should have in the morning on an empty stomach.

Health experts agree that it is recommended that one consume warm foods in the morning, which are nutritious and promote hydration in the body. 

It is because our digestive fire is weak in the morning, so if you consume cold and heavy foods they take longer to digest, which can cause stomach problems. 

In such a situation, here are foods that one should avoid consuming in the morning:

1.Shakes and Smoothies:

Many people consume drinks like juices, shakes and smoothies etc., in the morning to detox the body. But due to being cold in effect, it is not good for our digestion.

They work to slow down the digestive fire and also affect the metabolic rate.

2.Lemonade;

It is one of the most commonly consumed drinks to detox the body. People consume it a lot for weight loss, but they don’t know that the drink is acidic in nature. If you consume it on an empty stomach in the morning, it can cause digestive disturbances.

3.Hot Water and Honey:

It is also another common drink that a person consumes in the morning on an empty stomach. However, what they don’t realise is that when honey is added to hot water, it acts like a poison.

4.Protein-rich Foods:

Protein is a very important nutrient for the body, but our digestive system has to work hard to digest it. It is very heavy to digest. 

Consuming protein at a time when your function is already compromised can be harmful. Due to this, you may have problems in the stomach like gas, bloating, constipation etc

Types of Foods & Drinks to Avoid Before Sleep

For most people, going to bed hungry is disastrous for quality rest.  So, if you need a snack or late meal before it is time to sleep try some of these options. 

1.Alcohol:

Alcohol probably does help you doze off, but it interrupts the natural sleep cycle later on during the night.

The esophageal sphincter is a muscle which is also affected by alcohol. When it relaxes, it tends to cause acid reflux.

2.Heavy Foods:

Meals which seem to weigh on your stomach actually take longer to digest. Fatty, cheesy and fried foods can lead to indigestion and keep you up at night. 

3.Foods with High Water Content:

It is best to steer clear of foods with high water content. Getting up to go to the bathroom can really disrupt your sleep.

4.Spicy Foods:

Anyone with heartburn knows that spicy dishes can lead to problems at night. Well, there is another reason to avoid them.

5.Acidic Foods:

Another trigger for acid reflux are acidic food,  like citrus juice, raw onion, white wine and tomato sauce can disturb sleep by making heartburn worse.

They are considered nutritious and good for sleep health because of the inclusion of tryptophan or their natural ability to raise serotonin or melatonin levels.

About eighty percent of the food on shelves of supermarkets today didn't exist 100 years ago.
