Many delicious foods often can't be eaten without restraint, because those popular flavors are not suitable for everyone. If you have a sensitive stomach or are on a diet, then come and see how to eat the 9 most difficult-to-digest foods recently announced in the United States!
1. Fried foods
Fried foods like chicken nuggets and french fries are inevitably rich in oil and high in fat, and the accumulation of these two substances in the stomach can cause illness. Oil produces a substance called "acrylamide" at high temperatures, which is difficult to digest.
A nutritionist in the United States said: "If you already suffer from gastrointestinal diseases, you should pay special attention to eating less oily and high-fat fried foods, otherwise it may cause some uncomfortable symptoms, such as nausea, diarrhea, etc."
Solution:
In fact, to satisfy your cravings, you can also get a delicious feeling without giving up fried foods. For example, if you want to enjoy a crispy texture, eating salty potato chips is definitely not healthy, but you can find other ways to make potato chips, such as baking instead of frying, or choosing low-fat or fat-free foods, such as crisp crackers, hollow popcorn, etc.

Shakespeare once had a character in his play shout: "Let it rain potatoes!". But besides that, potatoes can also be used to treat stomach diseases, did you know?
Pectin can protect the stomach from irritation and reduce ulcers. You can cook porridge or soup with pumpkin to nourish the stomach and intestines.
2. Spicy foods
Chili can stimulate the inner wall of the esophagus, leaving an unpleasant heartburn after eating, and increasing the burden on the stomach.
Even if you want to add some sour cream to cool it down, you still get the same stimulation. Moreover, adding things like sour cream will instead suffer from other side effects.
Solution:
For people with a weak stomach or a "hot" body, if you really can't resist the temptation of spicy food, you might as well choose some mildly spicy foods and eat less green and red chili peppers.
3. Chocolate
Eating a lot of chocolate not only brings extra calories, but also people who suffer from gastroesophageal reflux disease have experienced the uncomfortable stimulation after eating chocolate. This is because chocolate causes the lower esophageal sphincter to relax, causing stomach acid to reflux and stimulating the esophagus and throat.
Solution:
In terms of choosing chocolate varieties, dark chocolate is the best. This is because dark chocolate contains various minerals beneficial to the human body, such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, copper, etc. Among all chocolates, it has the lowest sugar and fat content.
4. Citrus juice
Acidic drinks can stimulate the esophagus, making the sensory nerves stimulated, and the stimulated area will become red and swollen.
If the first thing you do after getting up in the morning is to drink a large glass of citrus juice, it will increase the acidity in the stomach and intestines. If you are drinking sweet lemonade with a high concentration of fructose at this time, you should be even more careful, because excessive sugar intake can cause diarrhea.
Solution:
Citrus juice contains a lot of vitamin C and is suitable for regular drinking. As long as you choose the right time to drink, you don't have to worry about stimulating the esophagus. The best time to drink citrus juice and other acidic juices is with meals or between meals.
In addition, dark chocolate also has the effect of lowering blood pressure and preventing atherosclerosis. But no matter how good something is, you can't eat too much.
