In the morning, I usually take a bath before I eat. My mom said it's bad to take a bath with an empty stomach. She did not say any health reason, she just said it's bad. But I'm still doing my usual routine, take a bath first before eating. Syubborn me. LOL. It's already a routine and it's hard to quit the habit. How about you? Do you think it's bad to take a bath first before eating? Do you know it's effects?

I always take a bath first before eating and having my coffee...We grew up doing this with Dad and Mom and until now, this is my routine..When I was in College, most of my roommates will eat first before taking a shower and in the long run, I was able to convince one of my close friends~!LOL!

Sounds like an old wive's tale but sometimes those old tales have truth. I usually eat first for the simple reason that I always seem to wake up hungary. The bath comes after breakfast and before the second cup of coffee.

i prefer to take a bath first than to ea. cause i feel that i am more relaxes after taking abath. and i want to eat slowly and so i will not hurry up eating so that i can take a bath. sometimes when i am out of time i will just take a bath first then i will let my hair dry wile i am eating. so that when i go out my hair will not be so wet. anyways, i think that i don't feel so hungry in the morning that is why i take a bath first. and then i will eat. i specially love to smell good before i do any thing at the start of the day. i want other people to see me clean and smelling good so that i will be presentable to the people and i will not look or smell bad twhen i get near the people around my place or wherever i am .

I just have a cup of tea before my bath. Its early in the morning around 7 a.m. cause I hve to be at work by 9 a.m. So, after tea, I have a bath and then sit for my breakfast after I am dressed and ready for work. Nothinig ever happens to me if I hve bath before or after breakfast.

I usually shower before I eat breakfast. Since I have become pregnant, it's been a little harder. If I'm hungry in the mornings, the first thing I will do is eat, and then I'll take my shower later.

Hi cautionhot01, I too do the same thing in the morning. I take bath first and then eat something. There is nothing as health effect reason as far as i think of in my mind but i have a specific reason for not taking food before bath, as i don't eat food without offering my prayers to GOD. So it generally happens that i take bath, pray to god and then have my breakfast.. If anybody knows any health reason attached to it, then the information shared with us will help..

Same here. I take a bath before eating breakfast. The bathroom is closer to my bedroom than the kitchen so that's my first stop in the morning. I'm not really sure of any bad effects of taking a bath on an empty stomach. This is the first time I've heard of that.

I usually eat first in the morning before taking a bath -- unless I'm really in a hurry. Hygiene can wait, because my body's sustenance is more important. Besides, I know people will excuse my appearance and smell since after all, I just woke up. :D

i take a bath first then eat on weekdays but during lazy weekends, i eat first then take a bath. i think it's true that you must not take a bath on an empty stomach. health reasons. but like you said, old habits are hard to break. lol!

I usally eat first because its hard for me to take a bath on an empty stomach since it makes my stomach hurt worse whenever I do take a shower since im in there for a long period of time since its relaxing to me and no one bothers me.
