If you've taken the Oz digestion quiz, created with the help of gastroenterologist Dr. Roshini Raj and integrative medicine practitioner, Dr. Chiti Parikh, and found that you fall under the "faster digestion" umbrella, this recipe can help alleviate your discomfort. This slaw is not only made up of wholesome ingredients but can also promote good digestive health at the same time. Made up of apples that are packed with fiber and fennel to cool your digestive "agni" or fire, eating this combination of foods can keep your inflammation and diarrhea symptoms at bay and help you stay fuller longer.

Recommended

1 firm, tart apple
3 celery stalks
1 medium fennel bulb
1 tsp fennel seeds
1 tsp celery seeds
pinch of salt
juice and zest of 1 organic lime
1 tbsp walnut oil (grapeseed oil or any other mild tasting oil is fine too)

1. Cut the apple into quarters and then slice the pieces very thinly lengthwise. Slice the fennel the same way and prepare the celery by cutting the stalks very thinly crosswise. Toss the apple, fennel, and celery with the fennel seeds and celery seeds, salt lime juice, zest, and oil.
