Carrot Digestion Time - #5506
I’ve been making an effort to eat more vegetables, and carrots are one of my favorites because they’re versatile and easy to include in meals. However, I’ve noticed that sometimes after eating carrots, especially raw ones, I feel bloated or heavy. This made me wonder about carrot digestion time and whether I’m eating them in the right way. How long does carrot digestion time take, and does it vary based on whether they’re raw, cooked, or juiced? I often snack on raw carrots during the day, but are they harder to digest in this form compared to steamed or roasted carrots? Would cooking them make a noticeable difference in how they feel in my stomach? Another thing I’m curious about is how other foods might affect carrot digestion time. I usually eat them in salads with heavy dressings or pair them with dips like hummus. Could these combinations be slowing down digestion or contributing to bloating? I’d also like to know if certain spices or cooking methods can make carrot digestion time faster or smoother. Are there Ayurvedic tips, like adding cumin or ginger, to improve digestion when eating carrots?
