Caffeine and Gut Motility
-
Caffeine, found in coffee and tea, stimulates gut motility and can improve digestion by speeding up the movement of food through the digestive tract. However, too much caffeine can cause irritation in sensitive individuals. In moderation (1-2 cups daily), it can enhance digestion and reduce constipation. A study found that caffeine improved gut motility by 20% in people with slow digestion.
