Tomatoes also contain a special ingredient—lycopene, which aids digestion and urination, helps gastric juices digest fats, and can inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi, treating angular cheilitis.
1. Barley and barley malt
Contains vitamins A, B, E, and amylase, maltose, glucose, invertase, allantoin, protease, fats, and minerals. The allantoin in barley can promote the healing of gastrointestinal ulcers. 2. Yogurt
In addition to all the nutrients of milk, yogurt is rich in lactic acid, which can break down lactose in milk into lactic acid. For people with a deficiency of lactase in the gastrointestinal tract or those who experience diarrhea from drinking fresh milk, yogurt is a good alternative. Lactic acid can inhibit the growth of mold in the body, preventing the imbalance of flora caused by the use of antibiotics. Lactic acid can also prevent the accumulation of toxins produced by spoilage bacteria decomposing proteins, thus having an anti-cancer effect. Yogurt has a mild laxative effect, which can prevent constipation in the elderly. 3. Apple
Apples can both stop diarrhea and relieve constipation. The tannins and organic acids they contain have an astringent effect, and the pectin can absorb toxins. For simple, mild diarrhea, eating apples alone can stop it. The cellulose in apples can stimulate intestinal peristalsis and accelerate bowel movements, thus also having a laxative effect. 4. Tomatoes
Rich in organic acids such as malic acid, citric acid, and formic acid, which can protect vitamin C from being destroyed during processing and cooking, increasing the utilization of vitamins. Tomatoes also contain a special ingredient—lycopene, which aids digestion and urination, helps gastric juices digest fats, and can inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi, treating angular cheilitis.
5. Tangerine peel
The digestive-promoting effect of tangerine peel is mainly due to the volatile oils it contains, which stimulate the digestive tract, increasing gastric juice secretion and promoting gastrointestinal motility. 6. Chicken gizzard lining
Also known as chicken gizzard membrane, it is the inner wall of the chicken's stomach. Chicken gizzards contain gastrin and digestive enzymes, which can increase the secretion of gastric juice and acid and promote stomach motility. Gastrin is easily destroyed by high heat, so it is best eaten raw. 7. Papaya
Unripe papaya contains two types of enzymes: papain and another papain-like enzyme, which can break down fats into fatty acids and promote the digestion and absorption of food. 8. Cabbage
Contains a large amount of coarse fiber, which can promote gastrointestinal motility, aid digestion, and prevent dry stools.
