【Expert answer】
Any Q

Because most proteins, carbohydrates and fats are large molecules, they are too big for your gastrointestinal tract to absorb until your digestive system breaks them down to a manageable size. Some foods and food components, however, do not undergo digestion. 27 дек. 2018 г.


What makes food easily digestible?

Tips for better digestion Vegetables, fruits, and whole grains are all rich sources of fiber. Fiber helps food move through your digestive system more easily and completely.

What foods are not digestible?

Your body can't digest or absorb fiber. Both insoluble (wheat bran, veggies, and whole grains) and soluble (oats, fruits, veggies, and beans) fiber are not digestible.

Are some foods are more & less digestible than others?

Slower-Digesting Proteins While carbohydrates are made up of simple sugars, which break down relatively quickly, proteins are much more complex molecules. The process of dismantling these chemical bonds and reducing the proteins to their component amino acids takes longer, so protein foods take longer to digest.
