The Quick Digestion Cookbook Allaine Mark

As soon as food enters the body through the mouth, the process of digestion begins. The body gradually moves it through the digestive system, which breaks the food down into smaller, more useable parts. Various foods can help at different stages of this process. For example, some aid digestion in the stomach, while others support the intestines. Fiber is essential to digestive health in general. If a person is not used to eating fiber often, it is best to increase fiber intake slowly, starting with soluble fiber such as from oatmeal, apples, and bananas. Add around one serving of fiber to the diet every 4-5 days. Increasing fiber intake too quickly can be bad for digestion. Drinking plenty of water is also important, as it combines with fiber and adds bulk to stool.
