      Avoid eating bananas on an empty stomach

      In addition to potassium, which helps you sleep, bananas also contain a large amount of magnesium. If eaten on an empty stomach, the magnesium content in the blood will suddenly increase. Magnesium is one of the sensitive elements that affects heart function.

      Avoid eating pineapple on an empty stomach

      Pineapple contains strong enzymes, which will hurt your stomach if eaten on an empty stomach. Its nutrients must be better absorbed after eating.

      Avoid drinking a lot of cold drinks

      A large temperature difference will strongly stimulate the gastrointestinal tract and cause sudden contracture.

      In addition, do not drink vinegar or eat garlic on an empty stomach in the morning. Drinking vinegar on an empty stomach can cause excessive gastric acidity and hurt the stomach; while allicin can irritate the gastric mucosa and intestinal wall and cause stomach cramps.
