Solution

Increase intestinal absorption:
Consuming probiotic foods is one of the ways to enhance digestion.
Probiotic food is made up of good bacteria that aid in maintaining your body's health and functionality.
Yogurt, kefir, kombucha, sauerkraut, pickles, miso, tempeh, kimchi, sourdough bread, and various cheeses are among the most popular fermented foods that naturally contain probiotics or have probiotics added to them.
These foods contain microorganisms that can produce enzymes that break down food and increase intestinal absorption.
Furthermore, studies have indicated that ingesting stimulants like coffee and tea closer to meal times can interfere with the absorption of some nutrients like iron.
