If you go shopping on an empty stomach, you know that more can end up in your shopping cart than intended. But there are still more things you should not do on an empty stomach.
An empty stomach can have a significant impact on making important decisions. You are then more likely to agree to a small reward, according to research at the University of Dundee. You also make decisions that have more effect in the short term than in the longer term.

Haven't eaten anything yet? Then don't go shopping. You really don't think about it when you are surrounded by all those goodies, while you have an empty stomach. Not only do you take more than intended, you will also spend more money unnecessarily. You also choose unhealthy products more often than nutritious ones.
It is generally known that it is better to grow a soil if you know that you are going to drink a number of alcoholic drinks. If you don't, chances are you'll feel dizzy and nauseous. So if you don't want to fall off that barstool (so uncharming) make sure you've eaten beforehand.
Do you recognize this:you get up and the first thing you do is wake up with a cup of coffee. You take your first sip and you feel a cramp in your stomach. The acid in the coffee is just too intense for an empty stomach. Coffee even stimulates acid in your stomach, so those who already suffer from acid reflux are especially affected. It is wiser to eat something before you take that first sip of coffee.
There are people who can do it:run ten kilometers in the morning or do a HIIT session, without breakfast. However, there is a good chance that you will feel a little light-headed or a little nauseous. Rather have a piece of fruit half an hour before you start your workout, the perfect snack for a quick energy boost.
