We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Choosing the right healthy foods for breakfast and knowing which foods to avoid is the first step towards a slimmer and healthier body. Here are some of the best healthy foods to eat and a list of foods to avoid for breakfast.

Yoghurt, coffee, orange juice are the foods we are used to eat for breakfast. Unfortunately, we shouldn’t eat certain foods on an empty stomach, because they could cause troublesome symptoms.

10 foods to avoid for breakfast:

#1 – Leavened foods

Yeasts may irritate stomach walls and cause the formation of excess gas.

#2 – Sweets

Sugar increases the secretion of insulin. It may strain pancreas, that doesn’t work at its fullest in the morning.

#3 – Yoghurt

Eating it on an empty stomach may prove useless, because the enzymes yoghurt is packed with can’t survive in the acid environment of the stomach.

#4 – Pears

The raw fiber pears contain might hurt the stomach mucous membrane.

#5 – Tomatoes

(For all those who love pizza for breakfast!) Tomatoes contain a lot of tannic acid, which increases stomach acidity. Eating tomatoes for breakfast may result in tissue lesions and sometimes even gastric ulcer.

#6 – Fresh vegetables

The acids contained in fresh vegetables may cause acid reflux, the formation of excess gas and digestive disorders.

#7 – Bananas

Bananas are rich in magnesium which, if it is consumed on an empty stomach, gets absorbed too fast, thus overloading the heart.

#8 – Spices

Spices may irritate stomach mucous membrane, thus stimulating the excessive production of gastric secretion and increasing the risk of gastrointestinal disorders.

#9 – Sodas and cold drinks

Drinking sodas and/or cold drinks in the morning may modify blood circulation in the stomach, slow down digestion and may cause lesions on the stomach walls/mucosa.

#10 – Grapefruits, oranges, lemons

The citrus fruits are rich in acids. Eating grapefruits or oranges on an empty stomach may cause gastric reflux and gastritis.
