Fruits are products rich in vitamins and minerals beneficial to the body. However, experts note that consuming certain fruits on an empty stomach can negatively affect gastrointestinal function.
For example, citrus fruits—oranges, tangerines, lemons, and grapefruits—have a high acid content, which may cause heartburn or a burning sensation in the stomach when eaten on an empty stomach. Caution is especially advised for individuals with gastritis or peptic ulcer disease.
It is also suggested that consuming large amounts of bananas on an empty stomach can sharply increase magnesium levels in the body, which in some cases may have an adverse effect on the cardiovascular system.
Furthermore, fruits like persimmons and pears contain fibers that may cause a feeling of heaviness in the digestive system when eaten on an empty stomach. Eating large amounts of watermelon on an empty stomach may also cause diarrhea or discomfort in some individuals.
