HOW SOON SHOULD YOU EAT AFTER WAKING UP?

How soon should you eat after waking up?

I recommend less than two hours after waking up.

Are there any health risks posed by eating too soon after waking?

The sooner you eat after waking up, the better for your metabolism and health. it is the time your body is prepared to receive nutrients after a long period of not eating. Furthermore, eating earlier breakfast improves your eating habits because it helps avoid unintended food choices later. You may overeat later in the day because of confusing your hunger hormones. It can also help regulate the stress hormones that may arise due to poor eating habits that could cause unstable blood sugar.
