This infographic illustrates the average time it takes our stomach to digest different foods :
🥤 Water : about 5 minutes — it passes through the stomach almost immediately.
🍉 Watermelon : 20 minutes — very high in water, it digests quickly.
🥚 Eggs : 30 minutes — a source of easily digestible protein.
🍎 Apples : 40 minutes — high in fiber, they take a little longer to digest.
🥕 Carrots : 50 minutes — good for gut health, they slightly slow down digestion.
🥔 Potatoes : 60 minutes — high in starch, they prolong the feeling of fullness.
🍗 Chicken : 2 to 3 hours — animal proteins require more digestive effort.
🌰 Nuts & Almonds : 2 to 3 hours — high in fat and protein, they digest slowly but provide a lot of energy.
💡 Health tip:
To avoid feeling heavy, try not to mix too many fast-digesting foods with slow-digesting ones. And above all, take your time to chew thoroughly — it's the first step to successful digestion!
