When we start our day by waking up early in the morning, our entire day passes with the same energy. It is the same with our body also. The first thing we put in our stomach after waking up in the morning is very important. This is why doctors recommend drinking warm water or eating something good in the morning on an empty stomach. In such a situation, it is very important to know which things are good for you in breakfast and which things you should avoid. But many times people unknowingly eat some things on an empty stomach, which cause harm to their health instead of benefit. Mumbai's famous dietitian Dr. Shweta Shah has told about 4 such things which should not be eaten on an empty stomach even by mistake.
