Why Skip Meals?
Sometimes, doctors ask you not to eat before your scan. This makes the images clearer and helps the machine work better.
Avoid heavy meals and drinks that make you feel full, like soda or fries, before your MRI.
Coffee and some sodas have caffeine, which can blur your MRI images. It’s best to skip them.
Sugary snacks can change how your body appears in scans. It’s wise to avoid candies and cakes.
Drink water instead of colored drinks or milk. It keeps you hydrated without affecting the scan.
If your doctor says, you might need to stop eating 6 hours before your MRI. Just a small rule to follow!
You can usually drink water, but check with your doctor first. Each scan might have different rules.
Eating when you shouldn’t can make it hard for doctors to get a good picture of what’s inside you.
Once your MRI is done, you can eat normally again.
