Digestion times?
« on: May 30, 2012, 04:32:17 am »
This has probably been answered somewhere but i was curious on average digestion times of common RPD foods.  I'm trying to fix my digestive system and trying to follow food combining and things like that.  I don't eat all raw meat or anything yet but i know digestion is way quicker that way.  I also know mono-meals seem to be the easiest for your body to process.  So the things i eat in question are:

-rare/raw beef (ground, liver, heart, steaks, etc)
-raw marrow
-raw butter
-raw eggs
-raw nut butters
-raw/rare salmon sashimi
-avocado
-olive oil
-coconut oil

Don't feel like you have to answer them all =)

Sweet fruit digests the fastest, muscle meats are somewhere in between, fat probably takes the longest. Roughly.

except the coconut oil.... that's probably somewhere between the sweet fruit and meat.

Thanks guys, and everybody finds that chewing isn't as important when eating the raw/rare meats, eggs, avocados, etc?

Chewing will always improve digestion. Just avoid chewing acid stuff (bad for teeth).

    I think it may be best NOT to chew raw meat, for digestion, energy, healing etc.

I've always found that not chewing raw meats makes digestion thereof easier.

chewing the meat making the digestion worse makes no sense to me. How can more surface area make the food harder to digest?

I can't say I've noticed that, but I do know that I am not one for chewing it 32 times, even though theoretically it is better.
