1. what is the importance of bitter substances for the intestine?
Bitter substances not only promote saliva production, but also stimulate the activity of the liver, gall bladder and pancreas. Thus, fat digestion is facilitated and gastrointestinal movement is increased. As a result, gastric emptying is accelerated. In addition, bitter substances provide increased production of hydrochloric acid, which is produced in the stomach. In this process, cravings may decrease and it may lead to weight loss.
2. definition of bitter substances
Bitters are substances which taste very bitter. They are a generic term for a whole range of different chemical compounds that are found in many different plants. For plants, bitter substances are especially important to ward off predators. Natural bitter compounds influence digestion and stimulate the production of gastric acid.
3. how to integrate bitter substances into the diet?
Bitters are very healthy and should be a regular part of your diet every day. Bitters should always come from natural and fresh foods. In ready-made products, the bitter taste does not come from bitter substances, but in most cases is produced by additives. Vegetables such as peppers, cabbage, radishes, arugula and radicchio are particularly rich in bitter substances. In the case of fruits, grapefruit and pomelo are particularly suitable. The bitter taste of many vegetables and fruits has been conventionally bred out. Therefore, one should pay attention to untreated and also older vegetable and fruit varieties and also use wild herbs and good oils for cooking.

Likewise, the preparation should not contain any chemical additives such as microcrystalline cellulose.
