how long it take to digest a hamburger?
Is it just me or do hamburgers take a long time to digest? Well according to Dian Dooley, Associate Professor of Food Science and Human Nutrition at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, it takes up to three days to fully digest a hamburger. On the other hand a fruit salad takes less than 30 minutes to digest. Our bodies are extremely efficient at digesting raw fruits and veggies because they have a lot of water in them. Humans are 70% water and so it makes sense that foods with a lot of water would digest easier.
