The Journey of Food: How Long Does Digestion Really Take?

Fries (3–4 hours): Fried and fatty foods slow digestion.

Burgers (4–6 hours): Dense protein and fat take longer to break down.

Pizza (4–6 hours): Carbs, cheese, and fats demand more work from the stomach.

Quick Tips to Remember:
Liquids digest faster than solids.

Fat, fiber, and protein slow down digestion.

Mixed meals require longer to break down.

Why It Matters:
Energy Levels: Fatty meals digest slowly, delaying energy drops.
