Avoid eating sour pickled foods in the morning
When you consume sour-tasting foods in the morning, many people choose to eat bánh chưng in the morning and pair it with pickled vegetables and salty onions. However, regularly eating sour pickled foods in the morning can be harmful to your health. Additionally, eating sour foods in the morning can make your stomach more prone to ailments such as gastric ulcers, indigestion, and acid reflux. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid eating sour foods in the morning when you wake up.
In addition, consuming sour foods in the morning can also lead to high blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases because pickled foods often contain salt or spices that are high in sodium, which can affect your blood pressure.
Fried and Deep-fried Foods
In the morning, it is recommended to avoid eating fried and deep-fried foods as these foods often contain a high amount of fat, which is not good for your health. Especially, after a long sleep, if you eat fried and deep-fried foods in the morning, it will make your stomach work harder to digest the food, which can lead to various gastrointestinal diseases.
Although most people enjoy fried and deep-fried foods because they are convenient and tasty, according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), these types of foods are classified as carcinogens, which means they have a high risk of causing cancer.
Furthermore, foods that are fried at high temperatures not only destroy nutrients such as vitamins in the food, but can also produce harmful substances such as cyclic amines, which are carcinogens in humans.
Instant Oatmeal
Many of us choose instant oatmeal for a quick breakfast when we are busy. However, little do we know that instant oatmeal contains a high amount of sugar and lacks diverse nutrients. Therefore, when you regularly consume these types of oatmeal, it can cause a rapid increase in blood sugar levels and a sudden decrease. In some cases, it can also cause discomfort and make you quickly hungry again, leaving you without enough energy to work and study.
Instead of instant oatmeal, you can choose oatmeal mixed with a little milk. Oatmeal creates a protective layer around the gastric mucosa, preventing harmful acids from damaging the stomach.
