Many people suffer from indigestion. Everyone also knows to avoid irritating foods such as fatty, fried, and spicy ones. So what foods are best for digestion? The American magazine "Health" recently provided the answer.
Yogurt: Dr. McAshland, a gastroenterologist at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, states that yogurt contains various beneficial bacteria that the human digestive system needs.
Korean Kimchi: Dr. Anderson from the Texas Health Science Center says that the main ingredient of kimchi, cabbage, can promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, and it is also rich in fiber, which is beneficial for bowel movements.
Chicken and Fish: Chicken and fish are easier to digest than greasy steaks. Red meat not only has a higher fat content but may also increase the risk of colon cancer.
Whole Grains: Foods like whole wheat bread, oats, and brown rice are excellent sources of dietary fiber that promotes digestion.
Bananas: Bananas help restore intestinal function, especially after diarrhea or intoxication. Bananas restore the body's electrolytes and potassium, and their rich fiber aids digestion. It is recommended to eat one banana daily.
Ginger: Ginger can safely relieve nausea, vomiting, morning sickness, and intestinal gas. However, the daily intake of ginger should not exceed 2-4 grams, otherwise, it may cause heartburn.
