The nutritionist pointed out the harm of citrus juices on an empty stomach for some people

Nutritionist Natalia Kruglova said that there is no negative effect of drinking citrus juice on an empty stomach, but people with gastrointestinal problems or diabetes should dilute it with water and drink in limited quantities.

In conversation with aif.ru On Monday, June 16, the doctor emphasized that citrus juice on an empty stomach is safe for a healthy person.

"If you have an intolerance or discomfort after drinking juice on an empty stomach, you should either dilute it with water in a 50-50 ratio, or reduce the amount, or drink it after the main meal," the nutritionist advised.

If you have diseases of the digestive tract or diabetes, you should be careful, especially during the period of exacerbations. Citrus juice at this time should either be excluded or strongly diluted with water. For an adult in this situation, one glass per day is enough.
