Meat Digestion Time Chart - #5084
I’m curious if anyone has seen a meat digestion time chart that’s based on Ayurveda. I’ve started eating more meat to build strength, but I want to know how long it actually takes to digest. Does the type of meat (chicken, lamb, fish) affect how quickly it’s processed? I’ve heard Ayurveda recommends lighter meats like chicken and fish for people with high Vata or Kapha dosha. Is there a specific meat digestion time chart that explains which meats are best for each dosha? I feel like lamb or beef makes me feel heavy and sluggish, but chicken seems easier on my stomach. Also, does it matter what you eat with the meat? For example, if I eat chicken with rice versus chicken with a salad, will that change digestion time? I want to avoid feeling bloated or lethargic after meals, so understanding a meat digestion time chart might help me plan meals better. If you have guidance on this, please share!
