Surely you also belong to the category of people who want to eat something as soon as they open their eyes in the morning. But for others, eating in the morning is boring because it causes nausea and vomiting.

"This condition often occurs in those people who have a slow digestive system or their stomach is not fully awake in the morning and this leads to a delayed response to food," explains doctor Shivani Amin.

However, there are several reasons why this condition occurs and the doctor lists some of them:

- Blood sugar is low

The most common reason for morning sickness is low blood sugar after not eating all night. It sounds strange, but food aversions can actually be a signal that you're hungry and your blood sugar has dropped too low, leaving you feeling groggy and powerless.

- You are dehydrated

When you don't drink fluids throughout the night, you may experience dehydration after waking up. Solution? Drink a glass of water in the morning and then try to eat easily digestible foods like toast, oatmeal, eggs, etc.

- You ate a big dinner

Digestion slows down at night, so if you ate a large meal the night before, you may still feel full when you wake up. The stomach and intestines may also not be fully awake in the morning, causing nausea and a delayed reaction to food.

-Enjoy sugary or fried foods more

Sometimes nausea is the result of the nutritional choices you make in the morning, and if you choose sweet or fried foods, they can "fall" hard in your stomach, without even starting the day well.

- You are pregnant

One of the earliest signs of pregnancy in the first trimester is morning sickness. If you are expecting or suspect you are pregnant, it is best to talk to your doctor, but light meals, water or tea may help.

- You are stressed

Feelings of restlessness and anxiety can cause morning sickness. Why? Because your cortisol (stress hormone) levels rise too much and this can affect the overall digestive system, leading to feelings of nausea.
