Drinking coffee on an empty stomach
Coffee and caffeinated drinks both stimulate the stomach to secrete acids. When the stomach is empty, this acid can easily irritate the mucous membranes, leading to heartburn, nausea or indigestion. Caffeine also has a mild diuretic effect, causing the body to lose more water.
You should have a snack before drinking coffee. A little almond, toast or yogurt can help protect the stomach and make the body receive caffeine better.
Skipping breakfast
Skipping breakfast will disrupt metabolism. The morning is the time when the brain needs glucose to warm up and is also the time when the metabolic rate reaches its peak.
If you don't eat breakfast, your body is forced to mobilize stress hormones to maintain energy. As a result, by noon, many people are too hungry and eat more than they need, leading to a feeling of lethargy and sleepiness in the afternoon.
Skipping breakfast is also associated with reduced ability to concentrate, easily irritable, and increased risk of overeating later. A reasonable breakfast helps stabilize energy and maintain circadian rhythm.
A simple but balanced breakfast of protein, good fats and complex carbohydrates. This meal helps control blood sugar, maintain energy and support the body's natural metabolic rhythm.
Drinking too much water after waking up
When you drink 3 - 4 cups of water continuously after waking up, the amount of stomach acid accumulated overnight - which is necessary to break down food - suddenly thin. This slows digestion and can easily cause bloating. Start your day with a glass of water, then have a snack for 30 minutes to help hydrate.
