Even healthy foods can be quite harmful when eaten in the wrong time or quantity.

The same goes with oranges - while they are very healthy, they can be not a perfect choice for your breakfast.

Let's find out, why.

Acidic Foods and Sensitive Stomach

Some individuals may have a sensitive stomach or conditions such as acid reflux or gastritis that can be aggravated by consuming highly acidic foods, including oranges, on an empty stomach. 

In such cases, it may be advisable to consume oranges or other acidic foods after eating a small meal or with other non-acidic foods to minimize discomfort.

Medication Interactions

Certain medications, such as those used to manage acid reflux or ulcers, may interact with acidic foods like oranges. 

It is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or read the medication instructions to determine if any specific dietary restrictions or guidelines need to be followed.

Personal Preferences and Digestive Comfort

Some individuals may simply prefer to have a lighter breakfast or choose other fruits over oranges in the morning. 

Personal taste and digestive comfort play a role in individual food choices, and it's important to listen to your body and consume foods that make you feel good.
