Rice soaked with soup

Many in the country prefer rice soaked with soup, which is indeed a bad idea. Such a dish works to increase the burden in the stomach since the rice has been swallowed whole. As a result it will need more time to process.

In addition, such an eating habit can cause hyposecretion in salivation, which slows down the absorption of the nutrition in rice. What makes it worse is the hyposecretion of digestive juice caused by the swallow can introduce dysfunction in the gastrointestinal tract.

It will help if you can change this dish into soup before the meal.

Acidic fruit on an empty stomach

Acidic fruit on an empty stomach is definitely not healthy. When we are hungry, gastric acid in the stomach will reach a high concentration, which, if combined with fruit, will precipitate in the stomach.

Once the big lump of precipitate has formed, the air pressure in our stomach will, in accordance, rise and cause a swollen pain along with other related symptoms. Take a persimmon for example. Loaded with pectin, tannic acid as well as phenol, it leads to calculosis when eaten on an empty stomach.
