Food provides our bodies with various nutrients and energy. It's not pleasant to be hungry and have a rumbling stomach. Although they say hunger knows no bounds, there are still some foods that should not be eaten when hungry. In fact, rushing to fill your stomach is very harmful to your health.
Persimmons
Eating persimmons on an empty stomach can cause large amounts of tannins and pectin to coagulate with stomach acid, forming "persimmon stones". This can easily cause nausea, vomiting, gastric ulcers, and even gastric perforation. It is better to eat persimmons after a meal to prevent the formation of "persimmon stones".
Bananas
Bananas contain a lot of magnesium, which is a sensitive element that affects heart function. Eating bananas on an empty stomach can cause a sudden increase in magnesium in the body, disrupting the balance of magnesium and calcium in the blood and inhibiting cardiovascular function. This is not good for the body's health.
Hawthorn
Eating hawthorn on an empty stomach can cause a rapid increase in stomach acid, causing adverse stimulation to the gastric mucosa. This can lead to bloating, acidity, and if consumed on an empty stomach, it can increase hunger and exacerbate existing stomach pain.
Milk, Soy Milk
These two types of foods contain a large amount of protein. Drinking them on an empty stomach will "force" the conversion of protein into heat energy, which does not provide the nourishment and replenishment effect. The best way to consume them is to eat them with foods that contain flour, drink them two hours after a meal, or drink them before bed. This way, they can promote digestion, have a nourishing and digestive effect, and also help with gas and bowel movements.
Tea
Drinking tea on an empty stomach can dilute gastric juice and reduce digestion function. It can also cause "tea drunkenness," which manifests as palpitations, dizziness, weakness in limbs, discomfort in the stomach and hunger.
Pineapple
Pineapple, which is rich in strong enzymes, can harm the stomach when eaten on an empty stomach. Its nutrients are best absorbed after a meal.
Cold Foods
Many people with stomach discomfort and weak bodies may experience stomach irritation and even stomach pain and diarrhea if they eat too many cold foods on an empty stomach.
Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes are delicious and healthy, but eating too many on an empty stomach can cause excessive secretion of stomach acid, leading to acid reflux and heartburn. If you already have problems with excessive stomach acid or gastric ulcers, you must be careful.
White Wine
Drinking white wine on an empty stomach can irritate the gastric mucosa and can eventually lead to gastritis, gastric ulcers, and other diseases. In addition, when a person is on an empty stomach, their blood sugar is already low. Drinking alcohol at this time will quickly cause low blood sugar, which can lead to functional disorders in the brain tissues, resulting in dizziness, palpitations, cold sweats, and hunger. In severe cases, it can cause hypoglycemic coma.
When you are very hungry, you must not eat blindly. It is best to eat some liquid food like porridge first to give your stomach a buffer and not put too much pressure on it.
