How to help your body digest protein more effectively

Thanh Thanh |

Food.NDTV offers ways to help the body digest protein more effectively.

Chew food thoroughly

Chewing thoroughly breaks down food into smaller pieces, making it easier for your stomach and intestines to process. This simple habit ensures that proteins are fully digested and absorbed.

Add digestive enzymes to your diet

Digestive enzymes like protease help break down proteins into amino acids for easier use. Try adding enzyme-rich foods like honey, mango, banana, and papaya to your meals.

Drink enough water

Water is essential for almost every function of the body, including digestion. Staying hydrated helps maintain the balance of digestive fluids and enzymes in the stomach.

Drinking water, especially before meals, can help break down food, including protein. Just be sure not to drink too much water during meals, as this can dilute stomach acid and interfere with protein absorption.

Keep your gut healthy

A healthy gut is important for efficient digestion. Supplementing with probiotics and prebiotics can help support the breakdown and absorption of proteins.

Add foods like yogurt, onions, bananas... to your diet to supplement probiotics.

Stress Control

Stress can disrupt digestive enzymes. Take deep breaths, sit in a quiet place, and focus on your meal. Reducing stress levels can improve your body's ability to digest and absorb protein more efficiently.
