Drinks To Avoid On Empty Stomach
Coffee
Caffeine in coffee accelerates stomach acid production, potentially causing heartburn, acid reflux and stomach ulcers. Additionally, caffeine’s stimulatory effects can lead to jitters, anxiety and energy crashes. Eat a balanced breakfast first to cushion coffee’s impact and minimise digestive discomfort.
Cold Beverages
Cold beverages on an empty stomach in the morning can cause stomach contractions, digestive discomfort and cramps. The sudden temperature change also slows digestion, potentially causing bloating and other digestive problems.

Carbonated Beverages
Drinking carbonated beverages on an empty stomach in the morning can lead to stomach irritation, acidity and digestive discomfort. The carbonation increases acid production in the stomach. Additionally, it can interfere with nutrient absorption from breakfast, setting you up for energy crashes and digestive issues throughout the day.
Energy Drinks
Consuming energy drinks on an empty stomach can also be harmful for your health. Caffeine and sugar surge causes jitters, anxiety and energy crashes. Empty stomach absorption accelerates caffeine’s effects, increasing heart rate and blood pressure. Additionally, digestive issues, nausea and nutrient imbalances may occur. Rather opt for a balanced breakfast and hydrating beverages.
