FOOD DIGESTION BOTTOM LINE
- Always eat fruit before the main meal as it digests much quicker.
- Avoid pure fruit juice and have at least 50% of vegetables in fresh juice to avoid having too much sugar.
- Don’t overstress your body by eating foods with a long digestion time either first thing in the morning or last thing at night. This Can cause insomnia.
- Lunchtime is the best time to mix foods with different digestion times.
- Digestion times are rough estimates and depend on the individual.
