Easy-to-digest food recipes

As people's quality of life is getting better and better, and their pursuit of life is getting higher and higher, many people have begun the path of health preservation, such as foot soaking, eating whole grains, etc. The reason for eating whole grains is that they help digestion and are good for the body. You must know that only when the body digests well can it have a normal metabolism, so that the various systems of the body can function normally and maintain good health. Some foods that aid digestion are listed below.

1. Barley and barley malt contain vitamins A, B, E and amylase, maltose, glucose, invertase, allantoin, protease, fat and minerals. Allantoin in barley can promote the healing of gastrointestinal ulcers.

2. Yogurt In addition to containing all the nutrients in milk, the most outstanding feature of yogurt is that it is rich in lactic acid, which can break down the lactose in milk into lactic acid. For people who lack lactic acid enzyme in the gastrointestinal tract or who easily suffer from diarrhea after drinking fresh milk, they can drink yogurt instead. Lactic acid can inhibit the growth of mold in the body and prevent dysbacteriosis caused by the use of antibiotics. Lactic acid can also prevent the accumulation of toxins produced by the decomposition of protein by putrefactive bacteria, thus having an anti-cancer effect. Yogurt has a mild laxative effect and can prevent constipation in the elderly.

3. Apple: Apple can both stop diarrhea and promote bowel movements. The tannic acid, organic alkali and other substances contained in it have astringent effects, and the pectin contained in it can absorb toxins. For simple mild diarrhea, eating apples alone can stop diarrhea. The cellulose in apples can stimulate intestinal peristalsis and accelerate defecation, so it also has a laxative effect.

4. Tomatoes are rich in organic acids such as malic acid, citric acid, and formic acid, which can protect vitamin C from being destroyed during the processing and cooking process, thereby increasing the utilization rate of vitamins. Tomatoes also contain a special ingredient - lycopene, which helps digestion and diuresis, and can assist gastric juice in digesting fat. Lycopene can also inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi, and can treat angular cheilitis.

5. Tangerine peel’s effect on promoting digestion is mainly due to the volatile oil it contains, which stimulates the digestive tract, increases the secretion of gastric juice, and promotes gastrointestinal motility.

6. Chicken gizzard, also known as chicken gizzard lining, is the inner wall of the chicken stomach. Chicken gizzards contain gastric hormones and digestive enzymes, which can increase the secretion of gastric juice and gastric acid and promote gastric motility. Gastric hormones are easily destroyed by high heat, so it is best to eat them raw.

7. Papaya Unripe papaya contains two enzymes, one called papain and the other called papain, which can break down fat into fatty acids and promote digestion and absorption of food.

8. Cabbage contains a large amount of crude fiber, which can promote gastrointestinal motility, help digestion, and prevent dry stools.
