Proper breakfast, or what you can and cannot eat on an empty stomach. What foods can not be eaten on an empty stomach? On an empty stomach what is better to eat

We live in the era of advertising. Every day, each person receives a portion of obsessive advice on what to eat in order to be healthy and successful. The products that we will talk about today have the following in common: they are all considered the most suitable for a morning meal. Unfortunately, this is not true: they are completely unsuitable for breakfast.

It really makes sense to use porridge at the beginning of the working day. Grain meals are full of nutrients, including "proper" carbohydrates that digest slowly enough to provide energy until lunchtime. But instant cereals are largely devoid of this property. To make cereals usable without cooking, they are subjected to special processing, due to which most of the carbohydrates are converted into a quickly digestible form. Therefore, the usefulness of such cereals is highly questionable.

Muesli is cereal flakes with the addition of nuts, seeds, dried fruits and candied fruits, and contains a large amount of sugar. In addition, the quality of inexpensive types of muesli is quite low: instead of pieces of real berries and fruits, they may contain synthetic substitutes or flavorings that are identical to natural ones. All this makes muesli more of a harmful product than a useful one.

It is best to cook morning porridge from full-fledged cereals in milk or water. To improve the taste, you can add a small amount of honey, fresh or quick-frozen fruits and berries, nuts, seeds, dried fruits, and spices such as ginger, vanilla or cinnamon.

In popular commercials, a well-dressed person walks into a cozy cafe on the way to the office and hastily snacks on a chocolate croissant (cake, fluffy bun, etc.) with a cup of coffee. All together gives the viewer the impression of correct actions, the result of which, apparently, should be health, beautiful appearance and material well-being.

In fact, it is difficult to come up with a more harmful option for breakfast. Any such delicacy is a combination of "fast" carbohydrates and animal fats, contains a lot of calories and has a very high glycemic index. Such a breakfast does not provide satiety and vigor for a long time, but it contributes to weight gain.

Various cereals, "balls", "stars" and other products that need to be poured with milk or juice to get "the most delicious and nutritious breakfast" are positioned by manufacturers as the best option for a morning meal for children. But the only advantage of such products is ease of use. Despite the long list of vitamins and minerals allegedly contained in breakfast cereals, they do more harm than good.

The product, packed in a bright box, is made by extrusion: all the ingredients are crushed to a fine powder and pressed, giving the pieces a certain shape. The composition of breakfast cereals includes flour, starch, sugar and a large number of flavor enhancers, preservatives, flavors, emulsifiers and other synthetic additives. The regular appearance of such products in the child's diet can lead to metabolic failure, obesity, disruption of the kidneys, stomach, intestines and other organs.

This is a traditional breakfast, but not particularly healthy. Wheat flour bread with butter and sausages (often not of the highest quality) - a combination that means the maximum amount of "fast" carbohydrates and unhealthy fats. In order for such a breakfast to really provide the body with energy, and not go straight to body fat, its ingredients must be replaced.

A healthy sandwich should contain:

  • wholemeal bread (preferably from a mixture of cereals);
  • natural meat, boiled or baked. Lean beef or chicken breast are best suited for this;
  • fresh vegetables (slices of cucumbers, tomatoes, sweet peppers);
  • leafy greens (parsley, dill, basil, celery, arugula or lettuce).

This breakfast option will be both satisfying and healthy.

Most ready-made fruit and berry juices are produced using the technology of recovery, that is, adding water to the dry mass. Unfortunately, the matter is usually not limited to this: a lot of sugar, citric acid and other preservatives are put in packaged juices. Instead of fruit pulp, pectin or beet pulp (waste from sugar beet processing) is often added to the product. It is clear that products of this kind are not useful (especially for children).

Freshly squeezed fruit juices really contain a lot of substances necessary for the body. However, it is not safe to drink such drinks on an empty stomach, since the organic acids that make up their composition irritate the gastric mucosa.

Any dish made from natural cottage cheese (cheesecakes, casserole, just good quality cottage cheese) is perfect for breakfast: it is a wonderful dietary food that supplies proteins and minerals necessary for the body. But sweet curd cheeses, milk slices and curd mass, heavily advertised by manufacturers, are not an adequate replacement. There is not much cottage cheese in products of this kind: it mainly consists of vegetable fats of dubious quality and sugar. And preservatives and flavorings are its essential ingredients. Even the “chocolate” coating that many cheeses are covered with has nothing to do with chocolate.

Curd products of industrial production are desirable to use (including for baby food) infrequently, exclusively as a treat.

This is another type of food advertised to be healthy, energy-dense and suitable for snacking. In fact, chocolate bars contain a lot of "fast" carbohydrates and unhealthy vegetable fats. They should not be eaten often, especially - regularly included in the morning meal.

Fast food

The harm of hamburgers and other fast food is associated with the products from which they are made and which we have already talked about. In this case, fats are added to the “fast” carbohydrates contained in white bread, on which meat ingredients are fried (they, by the way, are also not of the best quality). In addition, fast food often contains mayonnaise or tomato sauce, which are also not very healthy. All together it is an extremely harmful product, after which the feeling of hunger quickly disappears, but also quickly returns. The constant inclusion of fast food in the breakfast menu leads to eating disorders (attempts to snack during the day, increase portions, etc.), metabolic failures and weight gain.

Many people think that a melted cheese sandwich is less unhealthy than a hamburger or a butter and sausage sandwich, but this is not true. The product that advertising actively imposes on us is almost entirely composed of fat. It does not have the health benefits of real cheese. In addition, do not forget that its production often involves cheese production waste or cheese that cannot be sold due to the expiration date.

These products, which are so loved by many children, do not actually contain any chocolate or nuts. They consist of hydrolyzed vegetable oils (usually the cheapest ones - palm kernel or coconut), milk powder, cocoa butter, lecithin and flavorings. This combination of components can cause serious harm to the body, disrupting the normal metabolism. In no case should you regularly consume chocolate or nut pastes: even jam or preserves (of course, home-made), with their extreme saturation with carbohydrates, are a better option.

From what exactly a person eats for breakfast, his mood and ability to work during the working day depend. Therefore, the choice of products for the morning meal should be approached especially carefully, avoiding excessively high-calorie foods, but trying to get all the nutrients that allow you to stay active and healthy.

It’s better to write WHAT you need to eat for breakfast (even without a detailed commentary), it’s just a nightmare ... In the morning you get up and think about what you can really do. Virtually nothing - go hungry until dinner.


Marina, proper nutrition is not for the lazy. You need to cook a lot on your own and for yourself and for your family, and here many women do not worry about this topic at all - they will pick up semi-finished products and ready-made salads and feed their loved ones. I look with a shudder at such "food" in the supermarket, and many people eat it, and even pay for dubious preparation. Do you think someone who makes the same salads washes the greens before cutting them there? I highly doubt it. For example, I don’t buy bread for a long time, I bake it myself in a bread machine - it turns out amazingly and quite economically. And if you have a coffee grinder, you can experiment as much as you like, adding buckwheat and flaxseed and oatmeal and amaranth flour to pastries (some people are allergic to amaranth). Amazing kefir and cottage cheese can be prepared with milk fungus - this is where lactobacilli really are billions. Fuss, however, with him a lot, but it's worth it. I don’t like meat and don’t eat it, but my men eat, I also cook only myself, we don’t buy sausage or sausages for a very long time.

Fun, have you erected a monument to yourself yet? If not, then hurry up, because when there is no strength left to cook "beloved ones", then there will be no one to erect it. I hate stupid self-satisfaction that looks ugly, and senseless sacrifice that no one will appreciate, and in the end they will also laugh. In general, Marina, do not listen to all sorts of bugs, eat whatever your heart desires, only in moderation, you are interested in the real background of such advice that sounds from every iron, and you will be happy.

There are many prejudices and stereotypes when it comes to breakfast food. Usually, many people imagine a glass of orange juice, fruit or yogurt. In fact, these products are completely unsuitable for eating them in the morning! Breakfast is the first meal of the day, meaning you eat on an empty stomach. Of course, products can be useful, but they are not suitable for the first meal.

Yeast and puff pastries

Foods with yeast irritate the stomach. Such a breakfast can make you bloated.

Yogurt and other fermented dairy products

If you eat yogurt on an empty stomach, it forms an acid that kills lactic acid bacteria and harms the intestinal flora. Eating such food in the morning is absolutely not good for your body.

Pears

The fiber found in pears can damage the delicate intestinal walls if you eat them on an empty stomach.

Tomatoes

Tomatoes contain a lot of tannic acid, which increases the acidity of the intestines. Eating tomatoes for breakfast can provoke gastritis.

Cucumbers and other green vegetables

Raw vegetables are rich in amino acids. However, in the morning they can cause heartburn, bloating, and abdominal pain.

Bananas

If you eat bananas on an empty stomach, your magnesium levels rise dramatically. It may be harmful to the heart.

Cold sodas

Starting the day with carbonated drinks is not worth it if you do not want to damage the walls of the stomach and reduce blood flow to them. As a result, food will be digested much more slowly.

Spices

Foods that are too spicy on an empty stomach can irritate the stomach and increase acid levels, leading to a variety of digestive disorders.

Citrus

Citrus fruits are rich in fruit acids. If you eat them on an empty stomach, you'll experience heartburn and an increased risk of gastritis, and sometimes even an ulcer.

Sweets

If you eat a lot of sugar in the morning, your insulin levels rise, which puts a strain on the liver, which is just starting to work. All of these can lead to diabetes.

But what do you eat in the morning? Here are ten things that are perfect for breakfast!

Oatmeal

Oatmeal creates a protective layer on the walls of your stomach, which helps protect it from the effects of acid. Oatmeal also contains substances that lower cholesterol levels in the body.

Buckwheat

Buckwheat porridge gently stimulates the digestive system, in addition, it is an excellent source of protein, iron and vitamins.

Corn porridge

Corn porridge helps to remove toxins and heavy metals from the body, normalizes the intestinal microflora and guarantees a feeling of satiety for a long time.

wheat fiber

Two tablespoons of fiber contains fifteen percent of the recommended dose of vitamin E and ten percent of the dose of folic acid. In addition, fiber helps the digestive system.

Eggs

Researchers have found that eating eggs for breakfast can seriously reduce your daily calorie intake.

Watermelon

If you eat watermelon on an empty stomach, you will get plenty of fluids. In addition, watermelon is good for eye and heart health, as it contains a large amount of lycopene.

Blueberry

According to recent studies, regular consumption of blueberries improves memory, helps control blood pressure, and boosts metabolism, especially when eating blueberries for breakfast.

Whole grain bread without yeast

The carbohydrates and other beneficial nutrients found in bread are essential for your body. It is best to eat grain products early in the morning as breakfast.

nuts

Nuts, if eaten for breakfast, can improve the health of the digestive system and balance the acids and alkalis in the stomach. If you include them in your morning menu, you will get the most out of them.

Honey

Honey helps the body wake up and fills you with strength and energy. In addition, it boosts brain activity and increases the level of serotonin, the "hormone of happiness." Add it to your morning cereal or tea instead of sugar to get the most out of this product.


And there are more than enough reasons for this: morning rush, fear of gaining extra pounds, inability to wake up and “shove” at least something other than a cup of coffee into yourself.

Favorite business - to sleep longer in the morning - does not leave time for a healthy breakfast for a person.
However, breakfast is the most important meal of the day and should never be skipped! Moreover, it is precisely what we eat during this reception that is most worth thinking about.

It is so conceived by nature that we all live according to biological clocks. The body is hungry in the morning and every cell of the body needs good nutrition. She seems to be screaming: “Feed me!”. And the person instead gives her a cup of coffee or nothing at all.

Scientists have proven that everything that a person ate before 8 in the morning, the body absorbs to the maximum. Regular breakfast increases metabolism, and therefore reduces the risk of gaining excess weight. The fuel that enters the body in the morning gives energy for the whole day, improves memory and attention.
Moreover, sociologists have proven that more than 90% of people who have breakfast with a cup of coffee suffer from gastritis.

It must be remembered that the less often you eat, the more often you suffer from an intense feeling of hunger. And at the same time it can be very difficult to follow the awakened appetite.
As proven by experts in the field of nutrition and diets, those who eat twice a day, and not four or five, as expected, are most often overweight.

Remember a simple rule: to be cheerful, cheerful and able-bodied all day, you need to prepare yourself light and, including, nutritious breakfasts. And if there is no appetite in the morning, this does not mean that the body does not need such nutrients as proteins and carbohydrates. It is these two components of our breakfast that are responsible for additional energy and a feeling of fullness.
Many people know the popular saying that appetite comes with eating. You just need to overcome your desire to sleep longer in the morning.

Possible consequences of not having breakfast

If a person refuses breakfast or carbohydrates are included in his diet in the morning, then the level of sugar in the blood (insulin) drops below normal. As a result - "carbohydrate" hunger and the need (sometimes even the need) to quickly overcome it (snacking on simple carbohydrates).
Such carbohydrates increase sugar levels above normal. In this case, the pancreas works, which, with its intensive work, tries to reduce it. But the point is that insulin converts excess sugar into fat.
And such a spasmodic state is observed in a person throughout the day.
Diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, weight problems - all of these are acquired as a result of all of the above problems.


Possible consequences of a carbohydrate breakfast

Carbohydrate breakfast harms the body no less than its absence. Simple carbohydrates (buns, sandwiches, coffee, oatmeal) dramatically increase blood sugar levels (above normal). Insulin produced by the pancreas reduces it below normal, the excess turns into fat, and leads to "carbohydrate" hunger.
Then the person again urgently needs simple carbohydrates. What will happen next is known.

And only the right breakfast prevents "carbohydrate" hunger, dependence on starchy foods and sweets, keeps blood sugar levels at normal levels, controls appetite throughout the day and helps get rid of excess fat!

Not convincing enough? Then consider 6 reasons why you need to find time for your morning breakfast.

Reason #1. burst of energy

Your body needs energy in the morning. It's like a steam locomotive that won't be able to run well if they don't put the right amount of firewood in it.

Breakfast improves performance. Light foods are recommended to be eaten before 9-10 am.

Reason number 2. Mood improvement

A morning meal helps to set yourself up for a good day, and if breakfast is also delicious, then it will certainly cheer you up.

Reason number 3. Control hunger throughout the day

If you have breakfast in the morning, then throughout the day the hunger will not be felt so much, which means that there will be no need to eat a large amount of food. And most importantly, not so you will want "harmful" food.

Reason number 4. Improved memory and attention

According to studies, the concentration and memory ability of people who have breakfast is significantly higher than those who refuse it.

Reason number 5. Increasing stress resistance

Breakfast saves the body from stress. According to doctors, those who eat breakfast are not afraid of stress. It is recommended for breakfast to eat porridge, salad and protein foods - fish, eggs, meat.

Reason number 6. Help with weight loss and weight control

In the morning, there is a slow metabolism. In order for the body to work “correctly”, you need to eat. Thanks to this, you can get rid of hunger during the day and start losing weight.
You can start the work of the gastrointestinal tract and stimulate appetite with one glass of clean water on an empty stomach.. Liquid, drunk on an empty stomach, helps the body remove toxins and activates vital processes.

If you skip breakfast, the metabolic processes will gradually slow down, there will be less energy in the body, and the calories eaten will be in excess. The result is weight gain.

If you work the night shift or "walk until the morning", it is better to have breakfast when you return home, then go to bed and, upon waking up, continue to follow the system.

I remind you once again that for breakfast you can eat absolutely everything, not counting calories and not thinking how harmful this product is. But that doesn't mean you always have to eat a hearty breakfast.

Proper breakfast

A proper breakfast should give the body:

1. Nutrient elements.

2. Water.

3 . And, most importantly, do not raise or lower your blood sugar!

The best time for breakfast is half an hour after waking up. It has been proven that it is best to have breakfast from 7 to 9 in the morning. Of course, if you need to leave for work earlier, you should have breakfast earlier. But scientists have found that, according to biological rhythms, the human body is able to better digest and assimilate food if it is taken for breakfast at such a time.

Accustom yourself to have breakfast every morning at the same time, then your stomach after 2-3 weeks will remind you of food more clearly than any clock.

If you have no appetite in the morning, buy yourself a bowl decorated with bright colors - the right dishes help increase your appetite and improve your mood.

2-3 hours after breakfast, especially if it was light, you can have a snack with an apple, banana, nuts (raw and unsalted) or drink a glass of natural yogurt.

So, what foods should a nutritious breakfast consist of? Doctors insist that this list should include products such as:

  • dairy and sour-milk (cottage cheese or kefir);
  • egg dishes (boiled or fried eggs);
  • corn muesli or flakes;
  • various cereals;
  • foods rich in carbohydrates (bread or toast).

It is recommended to drink tea with honey. And tea with honey and lemon will protect you from a variety of viral diseases, because it is called a health drink.
Do not drink coffee on an empty stomach - it can provoke gastritis. If you can’t imagine starting your day without a sip of coffee, be sure to add milk to it.

There is a misconception that cereals contain a lot of calories. In this case, it is necessary to remember that cereals serve as a huge source of energy and nutrients, which are enough for the whole day. Eat calmly and don't be afraid to add extra pounds to your figure.
Of course, there are exceptions to any rule. In our case, this is instant porridge. Here they can easily spoil your figure due to the content of a large amount of sugars, which are very harmful to our body.
Corn muesli and flakes are rich in nutrients and carbohydrates, do not be afraid to add milk to them. Both tasty and healthy!

From this positive note, you need to move on to the list of products, the intake of which in the morning has a very strong effect on our health. Whatever your breakfast is - dense and satisfying, or light - it is important to know that not all foods can be safely eaten in the morning.

What and why you can not eat on an empty stomach?

Consider the main foods that are not good for our body, which are better not to eat on an empty stomach.

So, this list will seem painfully familiar and favorite foods to many. After all, many people eat breakfast with them.

You can't have breakfast

  • fatty, spicy and salty foods(the digestive organs suffer from the intake of such food);
  • candy and confectionery products. Make it a rule not to eat sweets on an empty stomach. This will save you from serious metabolic disorders, including diabetes. The thing is that when a large dose of sugar enters the stomach, the pancreas cannot cope with such a load and works for wear and tear. A large amount of insulin quickly normalizes blood sugar levels, after which the person feels weak and apathetic. A long-term passion for sweets on an empty stomach disables the pancreas, which affects the performance of its basic functions, in particular the production of an adequate amount of insulin .;
  • meat(requires a large amount of energy to assimilate);
  • alcohol(wakes up appetite, and we eat more than we need);
  • coffee- Lovers of morning coffee need to know that the caffeine contained in the drink, when it enters the stomach, leads to irritation of the mucous membrane, as a result of which the secretion of gastric juice increases. If you consume nothing more than coffee, then acid (gastric juice) begins to corrode the tissues of the stomach, thereby provoking the development of gastritis. In addition, coffee contains bitterness, which has choleretic properties, thereby provoking a useless release of bile from the gallbladder;
  • canned and smoked meats it is better not to use at all, and even more so, for breakfast;
  • many flavorings and preservatives contain chips, fast foods, cereals and instant soups:
  • flour products (baking)- the yeast contained in it contributes to the production of gases in the stomach, which leads to bloating, and, as a result, discomfort.
    If you cannot do without bakery products, then try to use non-yeast dough.

Foods that have not undergone heat treatment, such as fresh fruits, peppers, garlic, cause stomach diseases. Experts claim that on an empty stomach you should not eat oranges, pears, persimmons, bananas, tomatoes.

  • oranges are on this list for the reason that these fruits can provoke the development of allergies and gastritis (therefore, it is recommended to have oatmeal for breakfast before drinking a glass of orange juice);
  • pear, in its composition, is simply a storehouse of useful substances, vitamins and minerals, but due to the high content of tannins, coarse fiber and fruit acids in it, it is not recommended to eat a pear on an empty stomach, but also on a full stomach too. It is more correct to eat a pear at least half an hour after eating, and preferably an hour later. It should be remembered that after you have eaten a pear, you should not drink raw water, cold drinks, eat heavy fatty foods, meat.
  • and tomatoes contain a large amount of pectin and tannic acid, due to which a stomach stone forms;
  • bananas can cause the development of cardiovascular diseases due to the high content of magnesium in them, which can disrupt the calcium-magnesium balance in the body;

Besides do not start your day with raw vegetables - cucumbers, cabbage, paprika, because acids found in raw vegetables can irritate the stomach lining. This is fraught with ulcers and gastritis. Therefore, they should not be consumed on an empty stomach, in particular, for people with digestive problems.

Garlic contains allicin, which can irritate the walls of our stomach, as well as the intestines. As a result, it can cause gastrospasms.

By the way, eating yogurt for breakfast has become almost a tradition. But in fact, exactly Yogurt eaten on an empty stomach is useless.
The main value of fermented milk products lies in the beneficial microflora - lactic acid bacteria. If you take these products on an empty stomach, then the bacteria enter the aggressive acidic environment and die in the stomach, not reaching the intestines.
It turns out that healthy yogurt cultures will "eat" gastric juice - when consumed on an empty stomach, yogurt loses a significant part of its beneficial qualities.
It is recommended to use it two hours after a meal or before going to bed. Only in these cases does it really assist in the process of digestion.

After 7-8 hours of sleep, the body requires fluid, since during this time a lot of moisture has evaporated. Drinking in the morning is possible and even necessary, since a glass of water allows you to “warm up” the gastrointestinal tract before taking breakfast. However, do not drink too cold drinks since in this case you risk getting irritation of the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines.
If you have chronic diseases of the digestive tract, then cold drinks can provoke exacerbations. In addition, cold drinks lead to narrowing of the stomach vessels and deterioration of local blood circulation, which will worsen the process of digestion.

A cold drink is drunk 1.5 - 2 hours after a meal. But even if it is too hot, it is preferable to drink water at room temperature or slightly cool.
Also, do not drink liquid in one gulp. Stretch the water intake for a few minutes, taking small sips.

Perfect breakfast

The British eat a whole lunch of several courses for breakfast. The French make do with coffee with milk and a croissant. Russians traditionally had breakfast with bread and porridge. Is there really a perfect breakfast?

A few years ago, US scientists from the University of Connecticut conducted an interesting study of breakfasts for men. Volunteers were given the standard scrambled eggs and toast one day, and a bagel, yogurt, and fat-free cheese the other. Calories in breakfast were equal.


Delicious breakfasts for the whole week

Monday: cereal cookies or bread, low-calorie yogurt, any fruit, a cup of tea (coffee)
Tuesday: whole grain toast with low-fat cheese, any fruit, a cup of tea (coffee)
Wednesday: cereal or muesli with drinking yogurt, any fruit
Thursday: soft-boiled egg, 100-150 g of buckwheat porridge, grain bread, a glass of 1% kefir
Friday: cottage cheese, banana, apple and orange salad dressed with a spoonful of honey, a cup of tea (coffee)
Saturday: rice or millet porridge in milk with pumpkin, a cup of tea (coffee)
Sunday: one egg omelette, oatmeal, cereal, a glass of juice (preferably freshly squeezed)
According to www.calorizator.ru, eat-healthy.ru,

Since childhood, our parents have constantly repeated that if you want to grow up big and healthy, you need to eat well. So why, as adults, we forget about proper and rational nutrition?

Remember that health cannot be bought with money and restored too. Good nutrition is the key to good health. And an important part of it is the right breakfast.

Breakfast is perhaps one of the most important meals. It provides us with the necessary nutrients, charging us with strength and positive for the whole day. For a child who has a high mental load at school or intense physical activity in the sports section, the morning meal is simply irreplaceable.

But it is important to feed your son or daughter with a healthy breakfast, because some foods are highly undesirable to eat on an empty stomach, because this is fraught with gastritis, high blood sugar, fatigue and absent-mindedness.

Dry breakfasts

All kinds of sugar-coated cereals and chocolate balls are so loved by children! Adults also prefer to feed their offspring with breakfast cereals, adding milk or yogurt to cereals - quickly and tasty. But is it useful? Nutritionists and pediatricians say with confidence: “No!”

American scientists believe that there are practically no useful substances in ready-made breakfast cereals, but sugar is in excess. Experts tested more than 80 brands of popular cereal flakes and came to the conclusion that the sugar content in a serving of honey flakes is 56% of the total weight of the product in a pack.

Sweets on an empty stomach are harmful, as they lead to sharp jumps in blood sugar. When sugar drops, we feel hungry. That is, it is almost impossible to get enough of cereal, after an hour and a half your child will want to eat again.

Cereals are a great alternative to dry breakfasts. If the child is not a connoisseur of this dish, treat him to homemade granola. You will need nuts, seeds, dried fruits, honey. All this must be mixed and baked in the oven.

Raw vegetables and fruits

There is no doubt about the benefits of these irreplaceable sources of vitamins. But in the early morning, eating vegetables and fruits is quite controversial. The fact is that the coarse fiber contained in many fruits irritates the gastric mucosa. Hence - pain, heaviness and bloating.

Refusing an apple or a peach for breakfast is not worth it; it would be best to add pieces of fruit to porridge or give them to your child after the main meal. An important rule: a pear, citrus fruits and a banana should not be given to a child who has not yet had a crumb in his mouth. There is a lot of fiber in the pear, so it is better to eat it an hour or two after breakfast.

Oranges, tangerines, grapefruits, and limes contain acid that irritates an empty stomach. All this can lead to gastritis and diathesis in the future.

But what about bananas? They're perfect for breakfast, you say. Not really. According to recent studies, magnesium, contained in large quantities in bananas, disrupts the calcium-magnesium balance in the human body and causes diseases of the cardiovascular system.

A salad of fresh vegetables for breakfast is not recommended, as in the morning it is too heavy for the stomach. Cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage irritate the mucous membrane and cause bloating.

10 effective ways to instill in children a love of healthy food

Yogurt

Yogurt and other types of fermented milk products are best left for the evening, as they will not bring the desired benefits in the morning. The fact is that, for example, yogurt contains live bacteria that normalize the intestinal microflora and help the digestion of food entering the body.

If you eat yogurt on an empty stomach, these bacteria will quickly enter the aggressive acidic environment of the stomach and die before they reach the intestines.

Same story with kefir. Therefore, it is best to eat yogurt and drink kefir (yogurt, fermented baked milk) a couple of hours before bedtime. And, of course, give preference to natural products without thickeners, preservatives and flavor enhancers.

curd products

Various sweet curd masses and curd cheeses fall under this description. The content of useful cottage cheese in them is insignificant. Basically there are palm oil, flavor enhancers and sugar.

Curd cheese can be given to a child as a dessert after the main meal, but there is no need to hope that this product will replace a full breakfast.

Coffee

This drink is not suitable for every child. It is better for children under 10-12 years old to refrain from drinking coffee, since the caffeine in its composition does not have the best effect on the fragile nervous system. The child becomes irritable, hyperexcitable and aggressive. Coffee can also provoke stomach and headaches, disrupt the functioning of the heart and kidneys. Coffee on an empty stomach is contraindicated not only for children, but also for adults.

There is less harm from tea, but it also contains caffeine, which means that you should not get carried away with a fragrant drink. For breakfast, a child can brew herbal or fruit tea, adding honey and cinnamon to it.

Fresh bakery

Hot buns and bread on an empty stomach harm digestion. Fresh pastries lead to increased gas formation, bloating and heaviness in the stomach. Do not forbid your child to enjoy pastries, just treat him to a fresh bun for an afternoon snack.

sandwiches

Favorite quick breakfast for adults and children. With cheese, sausage, butter - it seems that sandwiches can be made from anything. But it's not the best breakfast option.

Canadian scientists have found that the high calorie content of ham and cheese sandwiches makes it difficult for the circulatory system to work. Over the years, this leads to a buildup of fat on the walls of the arteries. Thus, scientists came to the conclusion that lovers of sandwiches are at risk of getting atherosclerosis.
