Most of us know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day; it kick-starts our metabolism and boost our energy up so we can go deal with our daily lives head strong.

Unfortunately, many of us don’t have time to eat the breakfast as we are lazy enough to leave our comfort zone (our beds).

A large number of people just go grab any thing to fill their stomach to ease the hunger, however, not every food (organic and inorganic) is healthy for you. Sure every ones loves pan cakes, juices and fruits in their brunch.

Read below to find out which foods you should eat and which foods you should avoid on an empty stomach!

Citrus Fruits

People love eating oranges or grapefruits first thing in the morning, with some thinking that it might help them out loose fat and weight.

However consuming citrus fruits first thing in the morning can actually cause problems. Citrus fruits can irritate your lower esophagus, especially if you eat them on an empty stomach.

Bananas  

Don't be amazed my fellow readers as bananas are not necessarily the best thing to eat first thing in the morning.

Bananas can cause a sharp increase in the amount of magnesium in your bloodstream, which can potentially harm your heart.

Yogurt

It’s not that eating yogurt on an empty stomach is bad for you, it just doesn’t give you all the benefits it can provide if you’ve already eaten something.

The lactic acid bacteria found in yogurt (which is good for you) gets killed by your stomach’s hydrochloric acid if you haven’t eaten anything else.

Pastries

Danishes and croissants, although delicious, can cause problems when you eat them on an empty stomach.

Foods like puff pastries and shortcrust contain a type of yeast that irritates the stomach lining, causing flatulence.

Pears

Grabbing a pear when you’re hungry might seem like a healthy choice, but nutritionist Tamara Melton tells Huffington Post that a single fruit won’t fill you up.

Pears have crude fiber, which can injure the mucous membranes of an empty stomach.

Cold Carbonated Drinks

Most of us know we probably shouldn’t drink soda for breakfast, but sometimes it’s a good source of caffeine when you don’t have coffee.

The problem with drinking cold carbonated beverages on an empty stomach is that they can damage your stomach’s mucous membrane, which slows down your food digestion process.

Tomatoes

You shouldn’t eat tomatoes on an empty stomach, especially if you have acid reflux or stomach ulcers.

Tomatoes are high in tannic acid, which can increase the acid levels in your stomach, worsening reflux and causing discomfort.

Cucumbers

Far most the best health ridden vegetable, cucumbers are without a doubt good for your overall health. However, when you eat them on an empty stomach, they can cause abdominal pain, heartburn, flatulence, and general discomfort.
