Well, there are at least two things that you should on an empty stomach. 1. Solve problems. Your ability to concentrate reduces when you’re hungry. According to research, this is the legacy of our early ancestors who had to focus all their efforts to get food. The hunger hormone also helps to perform various tasks, stimulating the brain activity. 2. Make choices. If you can’t decide on what to choose, try doing it on an empty stomach. Research shows that hunger leads people into more successful, even though more impulsive, decisions. Of course, you’d better not use this method when matters of finances, relationships, or health are at stake.
