As summer arrives, the market is filled with cold drinks and fruits. After a night in the hot environment, one might accidentally consume foods that are harmful to the body in the morning.
1. Avoid drinking large amounts of ice-cold beverages:
A large temperature difference can strongly stimulate the gastrointestinal tract, leading to sudden spasms.
2. Avoid eating bananas on an empty stomach:
Besides containing sleep-promoting potassium, bananas also have a large amount of magnesium. If consumed on an empty stomach, it can cause a sharp increase in the magnesium content in the blood, and magnesium is one of the sensitive elements that affect heart function.
3. Avoid eating pineapple on an empty stomach:
Pineapple contains strong enzymes, which can damage the stomach if eaten on an empty stomach. Its nutrients can only be better absorbed after a meal.
Small tip:
Also avoid drinking vinegar or eating garlic on an empty stomach in the morning. Drinking vinegar on an empty stomach can lead to excessive stomach acid and harm the stomach; allicin can irritate the gastric mucosa and intestinal walls, causing stomach cramps. Knowing the taboos of morning diet, you should take immediate action to find a suitable stomach-nourishing plan. Here are a few recommendations for everyone to choose from...
Foods suitable for morning consumption
Breakfast is the "switch" for the brain, and its energy comes from carbohydrates. Therefore, breakfast must include some starchy foods. It is best to choose unrefined coarse grains mixed with some nuts and dried fruits.
Such foods release energy more slowly, which can extend the time of energy replenishment, such as purple rice steamed buns, sesame paste rolls, buns, wontons, red bean paste buns, nut bread, toast, corn porridge, etc.
Secondly, protein, which maintains the body's abundant energy and keen responsiveness, is also essential. Because a protein-rich breakfast can release energy continuously for several hours, making us feel "fuller" for longer. You can choose foods like eggs, cured beef, square ham, pork tenderloin, spicy chicken wings, and tofu products.
Third, breakfast must include some vegetables and fruits, such as cold mixed dishes, vegetable salads, fruit salads, etc. This is not only to supplement water-soluble vitamins and fiber, but also because fruits and vegetables contain alkaline foods rich in minerals like calcium, potassium, and magnesium, which can neutralize the acid radicals generated after the oxidation of meat, eggs, and other foods in the body, achieving acid-base balance.
