Table of food digestion time in the stomach

Golden rules for excellent digestion ^

In order to be healthy and live for a long time, it is very important to know and take into account the time of gastric digestion. According to the doctors, a person who, while eating, does not take into account the time of digestion of food, carries in him kilograms of rotting food, earns a lot of illnesses and shortens his life.

For the good digestion, the following key points should be considered:

• It is absolutely unacceptable to throw into the stomach, as in a "firebox", requiring different time for digesting the products - this you put to it an additional and unjustified load. For example, a dish of potato with pork will be digested for about 5 to 6 hours, while the separately consumed potatoes were digested and went to the intestine after an hour.

• It is optimal to mix food of one digestion time( vegetable salad, apples with pears, carrot-beet juice) - this will only slightly stretch the time of food stay in the stomach due to the difficulty of selecting enzymes for processing in comparison with mono-nutrition. This version of the "hodgepodge" is the most sparing for the body.

• The addition of oils, even in salads, lengthens the time in the stomach 2 to 3 times, due to the effect of food envelopment, and the impossibility of its rational treatment with juices and enzymes.

• You can not drink water, tea and other liquids if there is undigested food in your stomach - this dilutes the gastric juice, complicates the digestion of food and increases the load on the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, along with the liquid in the intestines inevitably "slip" undigested products, which will long in it rot or wander.

• If you drink water on an empty stomach, it immediately passes into the intestine.

• Thoroughly chew food - it also speeds up the digestion process due to better grinding and the beginning of enzyme processing even in the mouth.

• Use protein foods only in a warm form - warm food in the stomach is digested for about 2-3 hours( which is the optimal time for the breakdown of proteins), and only then it enters the small intestine, where the stage of cleavage of nutrients from food continues.

• Cold food in the stomach is digested much faster, so proteins do not have time to digest properly and go straight to the small intestine, resulting in bacteria multiplying in meat products( proteins)constipation, etc.)
