Our food choices can greatly affect how our digestive system works. This is important because it influences how well our bodies absorb nutrients and stay healthy.

1. Fiber Intake:

   • Eating foods high in fiber is super helpful for our digestion.
   • For women, aim for about 25 grams a day, and for men, about 38 grams.
   • Fiber helps food move through the gut better and supports the good bacteria in our intestines. This can reduce constipation by around 30%.

2. Fat Consumption:

   • Eating too much fat can slow down how quickly food leaves the stomach, which might cause discomfort.
   • It's good to keep saturated fat to less than 10% of your total daily calories.

3. Processed Foods:

   • Eating a lot of processed foods can lead to a 50% increase in gut problems.
   • This is because these foods usually have fewer nutrients and lots of additives.

4. Hydration:

   • Drinking enough water is really important for healthy digestion.
   • Women should aim for about 2.7 liters, and men should aim for about 3.7 liters each day.
   • Staying hydrated can help prevent constipation by making stools easier to pass.
