Your wedding day is going to be very busy and stressful, and while it is desirable to eat something before getting on with the day, there are certain foods you should avoid.
Here are six types of food to avoid on the morning of your big day.
1. Beans
Beans or foods made with beans, e.g., moi-moi, are usually notorious for irritating bowels, and even if you don’t usually have a problem with them, your wedding day is not the day to take that chance.
2. Smoothies
As healthy as they are, smoothies, especially those made with bananas and some other fruits, may give you stomach upset. This may cause you to repeatedly visit the toilet and you wouldn’t want that on your big day.
3. Spicy Foods
Spices irritate your bowels and cause purging. Stay away from peppery foods on the morning of your wedding to prevent accidents. It would also give you bad breath; you don’t want to give your husband the first official kiss with bad breath.
4. Caffeine
We all love a cup of freshly brewed coffee, but on your big day, it may leave you feeling jittery and anxious. You need to be well relaxed on your big day.
5. Dairy Products
That cheese, milk, or yogurt may seem appetizing, but it can cause some not-so-nice side effects. Dairy products contain a heavy burden of hard-to-digest fat, making it more likely for you to experience nausea, bloating, and fatigue.
6. Alcohol
You should enjoy Champagne and decadent cocktails, but hold out until the reception. Beer and carbonated beverages release carbon dioxide in the stomach, which will result in bloating and belching. You might also feel tipsy, which is bad for your D-day.
