Dr. Sarah Nutrition

The "Best" List

  • Dates & Water: Perfect start to stabilize sugar and rehydrate gently.
  • Warm Soup: Preps the stomach lining for food.
  • Fiber (Salad): Prevents constipation and satisfies hunger steadily.
  • Grilled Protein: Chicken or fish for muscle repair without excess oil.

The "Worst" List

  • Deep Fried Foods (Immediately): Instant heartburn and indigestion on an empty stomach.
  • Soda / Ice Cold Drinks: Thermal shock to the stomach and bloating.
  • Heavy Sweets: Massive insulin spike leading to the dreaded "Food Coma" and fatigue.
