Five foods you should not eat on an empty stomach

banana
Bananas are rich in dietary fiber, provide a lasting feeling of fullness, and are easy to eat, making them a common breakfast substitute. However, eating only bananas on an empty stomach should be avoided. Bananas are high in potassium and magnesium, and consuming them on an empty stomach can put strain on the cardiovascular system. Additionally, people with sensitive intestines may experience diarrhea or abdominal pain if they consume high-fiber bananas on an empty stomach.

milk
Milk is considered a complete food because it is rich in protein, fat, and vitamins. However, on an empty stomach, digestion becomes weaker, making it difficult to digest milk's proteins and fats. As a result, digestive problems such as indigestion, abdominal discomfort, and bloating may occur. Additionally, milk contains calcium and protein, which increase stomach acid secretion. When stomach acid is excessively produced on an empty stomach, it can worsen conditions like gastritis or acid reflux symptoms.

Pineapple & Kiwi
Sweet and tangy pineapple and kiwi are rich in protease, an enzyme that helps digestion. Eating kiwi and pineapple on an empty stomach allows these enzymes to contact stomach acid, which can cause digestive issues. Additionally, pineapple and kiwi contain acidic components, which can cause heartburn if consumed on an empty stomach.

Tomato
Tomatoes contain soluble astringent components called pectin, which can react chemically when consumed on an empty stomach by binding with stomach acid. As a result, the internal pressure of the stomach increases, potentially causing indigestion or pain. Additionally, the tannin components in tomatoes can increase the acidity of the stomach, and consuming them on an empty stomach may lead to stomach ulcers, so caution is advised.
