 WHAT ARE THE FOODS THAT MAY CONTRIBUTE TO A
HEALTHFUL DIET AND EASY DIGESTION?
PLAIN CRACKERS

This food is considered for easy digestion. Plain crackers also

have a pleasing taste, but people may not include this in their
diet. Most digestive biscuits made from whole wheat flour and
oatmeal are good for digestion.
YOGURT

The presence of billions of friendly bacteria in a cup of yogurt

helps in digestion. They help control the growth of harmful
bacteria in the digestive tract, which aids in healthy digestion. The
beneficial bacteria in yogurt also help improve lactose digestion
in people who are lactose intolerant.
 WHAT ARE THE FOODS THAT MAY CONTRIBUTE TO A
HEALTHFUL DIET AND EASY DIGESTION?

OATS

Oats are high in dietary fiber and are very easy to digest. People
with digestion problems are often advised to include oats in
their diet.

RICE

It is known that brown rice is a healthier option, especially for people who
have cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. White rice is digested more
quickly than brown rice. Due to the carbohydrates present, they are
converted to sugar easily, hence, making white rice digested quickly.
