Foods Like Medicine on an Empty Stomach in the Morning
Here are 4 things that are very good for your health when eaten on an empty stomach in the morning. Remember them well and put them into practice for your health.
1. Water
First is water. Drink a glass of lukewarm water as soon as you wake up and start your day. It is the most important
food that our body needs in the morning. When we are awake, our body works non-stop, but when we fall asleep, it does a
major overhaul, cleaning up the endocrine system and brain.
In this process, about 500ml to 1 liter of water is lost, so when we wake up, we are dehydrated and our blood is slightly
thick. Drinking 500ml of lukewarm water slowly after waking up can help you start your day a little warmer.
The reason why lukewarm water is good on an empty stomach in the morning is that it increases the volume of blood and
makes the blood thinner. As our blood flow increases, the waste products that have been accumulating in the factory
overnight can be discharged more smoothly.
2. Yam
Second is yam, which is good for heartburn. When you hear yam, you may think of the sticky, slippery mucus, and this
mucus is actually a medicine-like substance called mucin in our stomach space. Mucin protects the stomach lining. It
helps to soothe the stomach and is helpful for heartburn, gastritis, and peptic ulcers caused by excessive stomach acid.
Eating raw yam the day after drinking alcohol can help you sober up faster. Also, eating yam before drinking can
protect your stomach lining from alcohol. Mucin is food for the good bacteria in our intestines. It creates a good
environment for the good bacteria to grow, so it plays a great role in increasing the number of good bacteria and
making them active.
3. Blueberry
If you want to eat fruit in the morning but have to manage your blood sugar or have heartburn and can't eat just
anything, fruit can be a burden for those who have a lot of gas. But blueberries are good. Blueberries have a low GI
index of 53 and a low GL index of 6.3 per 100g.
It's good for people who are managing their blood sugar, so I recommend blueberries. Especially the antioxidant
compounds found in berries are known to be effective when eaten in the morning because they help to regulate blood
pressure and metabolism, and they stimulate the brain. Antioxidants are more effective when consumed on an empty
stomach.
4. Oats
Fourth, I recommend oats. It is one of the top 10 superfoods selected by Time magazine. Oats are rich in essential amino
acids, calcium, and iron, making them a good food for menopausal women who need to take care of their bones, the elderly,
and children who are growing rapidly. There is a reason why oats are good for breakfast.
It is because oats have a higher protein content than other grains. 100g of oats contains 16.89g of protein. Compared to
brown rice, which contains 2.56g, this is a very high number. The conclusion is that it's a great way to get good
quality plant-based protein.
Moreover, it can help prevent cardiovascular disease by lowering blood sugar and cholesterol levels in the blood. It is
also known as a good food for diabetes because it helps to regulate insulin levels.
In Conclusion
Today, I have told you about 4 good foods to eat in the morning. Refer to these 4 foods and start your day healthily with a
medicinal breakfast full of nutrition.
