Foods to eat on an empty stomach in the morning

Foods to eat on an empty stomach in the morning: Professor Akim Bouterra's advice, complemented by what research says (honey), the precautions to know, and our resources to go further.

The first thing to take in the morning on an empty stomach is warm water with honey, as the Prophet ﷺ used to do—this has very valuable therapeutic benefits.

Five to ten minutes later, you can take a tablespoon of "immunity honey" (a blend of honey and other products available at www.leretouraunaturel.com).

Then, a quarter of an hour later, take some dates (if you wish to treat sorcery, choose "ajwa" dates.

What the science says: honey

What published research says about the remedies mentioned above, for context — the studies concern material causes, while healing belongs to Allah.

Honey

"There is a healing for people in honey": research confirms several of its uses. The Cochrane review concludes that honey relieves acute cough in children better than no treatment and at least as well as some syrups (Cochrane, 2018) (Eur J Pediatr, 2023). On the skin, honey dressings speed up healing and reduce wound infections (Nutrients, 2024), including burns (N Z Med J, 2009). Precaution: never give honey before age one (risk of infant botulism); choose raw, unheated honey from a reliable source.
