Whatever we eat every day, how much benefit we get from it depends on how well the food is digested. Due to the changing lifestyle, most people are troubled by poor digestion. Due to poor digestion, you can become a victim of many serious diseases.

In such a situation, include only those things in the diet which keep the digestion fine. Let us know from the experts which things should be included in the diet.
Probiotic foods are very important for digestion. They increase the good bacteria (gut flora) in our intestines. There are more bacteria in our intestines than our own cells in our body. Therefore, eating probiotic foods like curd, lassi, buttermilk, homemade pickles and North India's special Kanchi strengthens the digestive system.
Fiber-rich fruits and vegetables
Fiber is found in fruits and vegetables. It not only increases the good bacteria but also helps in smooth functioning of the digestive system along with water in the body. It prevents constipation. Include apples, oranges, bananas, sweet potatoes and ladyfinger in your diet.
Whole grains
Whole grains like Rajgira, Quinoa and Oats provide not only fibre but also carbohydrates. These help in moving food through the digestive system without any obstruction. This can prevent problems like constipation.
Ginger
Ginger is not only a medicinal root but is also very beneficial for digestion. It reduces inflammation and keeps the digestive system active. Eating ginger helps food reach the small intestine from the stomach faster, which prevents constipation. However, do not take more than 4 grams of it a day.
