Your Digestive System - How It Really Works

By James R

Everyone loves to have the most for their cash. Its bad enough to save cash present with the high cost of living, thus we are becoming more conscious of what we are getting for our dollar. This is no different when it comes to our grocery shopping. We spend time looking for high quality foods at bargain prices. So if we are going to this much work then why not get the most out of what it has to offer. I mean we eat for two reasons, one because we have to in order to live, and the other because we like food.

Lets go on the same journey as our solid food does, which is through the digestive system, and visualize where we re missing the better it has to provide us ,and what we can do to have the most for our money.

In order for our body to utilise what we feed on it must be broken down into minor particles so the cells can use it to offer energy. This is the job of the digestive system. This starts the instant you put food in your mouth.

Do your part - by chewing your food thoroughly, you take those few extra seconds to grant the saliva do its job.

Next stop is the stomach after the solid food moves down through the throat. Three things are starting to happen here. 1st the solid food will be stashed away here while it goes through several procedures. Second the stomach will churn the food, liquids and digestive juices completely unitedly, And Then thirdly it will slowly empty these completely mixed contents into the small intestine.

Do your role - have your time consuming so you are not overloading the stomach. Provide it some space to do it's work.

There are elements that decide how the stomach empties, one being the sorts of foods it has to break down, and the 2nd being the degree of muscle action that is necessary. The pancreas, liver and intestine entirely provide juices to aid the process that is carried out in the digestive system.

Moving on from the stomach, once it has be broken down into nutrients that can be sucked, it at present has attained the digestive stage. Here the good stuff is absorbed through the intestines ,so it carries on it's direction to do its job with the different organs. The remaining is the waste. This is driven down into the colon where it waits to depart from the body through bowel movements. Do your part,nobody wants waste sitting around within of them, so ensure your bowels are operating the right way.

This is just a very casual explanation as to what goes on with all that good food you gave so very much cash for. By following these simple guidelines you are more brilliant to get the most for your money.

As we were going on on our journeying, we in short mentioned several other organs that have a essential responsibility in the digestive system. By preparing yourself in the fundamentals of these organs and what holds them in good health only functions to further enhance your general welfares.

We are referring to the pancreas, liver, and gallbladder. Remember even the muscles should be optimum health to do their job as well. - 15437
