In addition to eating healthy food, another thing we should pay attention to is indigestion. Because in addition to choosing food based on taste, quality, price, benefits and nutrients that you will receive, eating food that is not digested or difficult to digest is even more difficult.
Normal people, when they eat something in small quantities, or sometimes eat too much, at most they will feel a stomach bloating to the point where they can’t stand up. They have to sit for a while until they are no longer full before they can move. Think about when we go to eat at a buffet. When we eat, it’s so delicious and enjoyable, but when we’re full, it’s like a completely different movie… Of course, for people who have difficulty digesting food or have indigestion, it’s even more painful.

If anyone frequently has indigestion symptoms, along with other symptoms such as stomach discomfort, stomachache, colic, these symptoms should not be ignored because indigestion can be a warning sign of many diseases in the digestive system, such as gastritis, stomach ulcers, pancreatitis, gallstones, intestinal obstruction, or even cancer.

What should I eat to help digest it better?
Refined grains such as white rice, jasmine rice, and fragrant rice
With the milling process that removes all the fiber, it is easy to see that it is white rice, such as jasmine rice and fragrant rice, because rice that has gone through this milling process is easier to digest than unmilled rice (such as brown rice and riceberry). This type of white rice helps reduce intestinal contractions, helping to relieve stomach pain or diarrhea. **But on the other hand, eating white rice or food that is low in fiber will cause problems with bowel movements. You may experience constipation, difficult bowel movements, causing abdominal distension and stomach discomfort. Therefore, you should eat the right amount.
Eat fruits that aid digestion
If the enzymes or digestive juices in our stomach are not enough, we can just add enzymes with fruits that are commonly available such as pineapple and papaya. Both of these fruits contain enzymes that help with digestion. However, we should eat fresh fruits, not fruits that have been heated or processed because heat will cause the enzymes in the fruits to deteriorate.
Add fiber with vegetables
Fresh vegetables and fruits are very helpful in digestion because they are high in fiber, which helps improve the functioning of the stomach and intestines, and helps with easier bowel movements. It is recommended to eat vegetables in the right proportions per meal and to choose a variety of vegetables.
Intestinal-boosting microbes
When it comes to digestion, how can we forget yogurt ? Because good bacteria will help improve the functioning of the intestines. It is recommended to choose plain yogurt or yogurt with less sugar.
Acidic drinks
You may wonder what acidic drinks are? Don’t they irritate your stomach? When it comes to acidic drinks, we mean carbonated drinks or soda. These drinks help stimulate the stomach. This can be seen from the fact that some people like to drink soda or plain soda after eating a big meal to help relieve stomach bloating.
In addition to soda, we can also choose drinks that contain natural acids. Since there is quite a bit of sugar in soda, try drinking lemonade, orange juice or fresh fruit juice instead, which will also help a lot.
Above all, it is necessary to change our eating behavior. We must chew thoroughly, not eat too fast, and not eat too much. In addition, we should also avoid difficult-to-digest foods and foods high in fat. Being healthy cannot be done and seen immediately. It requires patience and dedication, and the results will be good for ourselves.
