Can You Eat Anything On Empty Stomach? No!

Some of us start the day with lemon water and honey while some would like to start the day with ginger tea. Some people eat a raw garlic in the morning.

All of those practices are healthy but firstly, your current health condition must be suitable to cultivate any such habit. Your doctor needs to tell you whether you can follow such health tips.

Here are some foods which are good on empty stomach and which are not okay on empty stomach....

Fruit Juices?

If you have the habit of adding refined sugar to fruit juices, don't consume them on empty stomach in the morning. They may create spikes in the blood sugar levels.

Oatmeal?

Oat meal is very good choice for empty stomach. It contributes fibre, vitamins and minerals; it also protects your stomach from the action of acids.
