Early breakfast tells how productive we will be in the end of the day. It may not always be right to eat everything we want to eat. It is important for us to know the right foods to intake on an empty stomach. Waking up late make us choose the foods that are easy to prepare not knowing their effects on our body. These are 5 foods we might not know that aren’t good to intake on an empty stomach.

1. Citrus Fruits (orange, lemon/lime, grapefruits and etc.)
   Eating Citrus Fruits may give us more Vitamin C that is needed to our body; it does really make us healthier if they are eaten at the right time of the day.
