Is cooked or raw food digested faster?

 Raw food contains enzymes for digesting food. When raw food is exposed to high heat and temperatures , they break down quickly. One of the constituents of food that can be broken down is enzymes. These enzymes are essential and play an important role, they help us to digest our food.

When enzymes are heated, their structure changes and they can no longer function as they were supposed to,so our body has to produce our own enzymes to digest cooked food. Valuable metabolic enzymes are therefore used to digest cooked food,so digestion of cooked food requires more energy than digestion of raw food. Therefore, raw food is digested faster than cooked food.In fact, raw food travels through the digestive system two to three times faster than cooked food does.
