Gastroenterologist Svetlana Ilyashenko: such foods, eaten on an empty stomach, have too aggressive an effect on the stomach.
Doctor Ilyashenko urged Russians not to eat vegetables and fruits on an empty stomach, so as not to harm your digestive tract.
“On an empty stomach, it is undesirable to consume fruits, raw vegetables, various juices, especially freshly squeezed ones – they have a very aggressive effect on the stomach,” Ilyashenko noted in a commentary for RIA Novosti.
The doctor explained that when consumed on an empty stomach, such products increase acidity and contribute to the appearance of discomfort and abdominal pain. At the same time, the doctor noted that, subject to proper consumption, one should prefer whole fruits rather than vegetables and fruits crushed into purees or smoothies.
