Hello,
There are many foods that promote digestion and absorption. Below are some examples:
- Easily digestible cooked foods, such as fresh vegetables—including Chinese cabbage, spinach, celery, bok choy, radish, sweet potato, garlic shoots, and cucumber.
- Fruits—including apples, pears, hawthorn, peaches, bananas, tangerines, and oranges.
When eating, chew food thoroughly and eat slowly. After meals, drink plenty of water to support circulation and metabolism. Additionally, engage in moderate physical activity you enjoy to enhance your body’s immune function.
We hope the above information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
