Which foods are harmful to the digestive system?

Due to an unhealthy lifestyle, the functioning of the digestive system can be disrupted.

The digestive system breaks food down into nutrients and energy that the body can use. It absorbs useful substances and expels the useless.

We already told you about a healthy diet for the digestive system (foods rich in fiber, unsaturated fats, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, yogurt, green leafy vegetables, etc.), and this time we will provide you with information on harmful foods, which are recommended not to eat.

Some foods and drinks increase the risk of bloating, heartburn, and diarrhea. Examples of these include:

  • food or drink containing sugar
  • carbonated beverages or sugar sweetened drinks
  • refined carbohydrates, such as white bread
  • alcohol
  • milk or white chocolate
  • foods high in saturated fats
  • coffee and other drinks containing caffeine
  • spicy foods, food containing fat

Some habits can also hamper digestion. These include eating too fast and lying down immediately after eating.
