Dr. of Medical Sciences Mykhailo Ginsburg explained , which drinks and why you should not drink them on an empty stomach. According to the doctor, the only exception to this rule is water. All other drinks can be consumed on an empty stomach only with an eye on your health, as some of them can irritate the stomach, and others can cause sharp jumps in blood sugar.

For example, when sour milk drinks come into contact with an inflamed mucous membrane, then there may be sharp pains, said Ginzburg. If the body is healthy, then acidic liquids can be consumed on an empty stomach. The situation is similar with some other drinks, the doctor added.

If the stomach is in good condition, you can drink green tea with milk or coffee with milk, the specialist said. Juices can irritate the stomach. In addition, they contain sugar, due to which drinks can cause an increase in blood glucose, the doctor warned. At the same time, the rule works even if the digestive system is in excellent health.

“What is the problem here? Everything we drink on an empty stomach “runs” very quickly to the intestines and begins to be absorbed there very quickly. Therefore, it is not recommended to drink sugar-containing carbonated water, sugar-containing drinks such as tea, compote on an empty stomach,” he said.

However, alcohol is especially harmful on an empty stomach. Alcohol is quickly absorbed, which causes sugar spikes and metabolic disorders, Ginsburg explained.
