The digestive system takes in the food into the body and breaks it down into the nutrients for absorption in to the blood. The digestive system starts with the mouth where our teeth and saliva work to start breaking down the food. Then the esophagus carries the food to the stomach. The stomach works to mix, grind and continue to break down the food with the hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes. The liver is responsible for creating secretes the bile which breaks down fat. It also cleanses and purifies the blood coming from the small intestines. The gallbladder stores and recycles excess bile between meals. The pancreas produces insulin which controls the amount of sugar in the blood. It also secretes digestive enzymes into the small intestine. The small intestine absorbs the majority of the nutrients during the digestive process. The large intestine absorbs water and assists in the elimination of the waste material from the food. The colon is the final piece of the digestive system. It moves the waste through it removes remaining water, vitamins, minerals, and fat-solubles creating the stool that is eliminated from the body.
The digestive system is linked to a surprising number of health condition. But there are other who suffer from chronic bowel issues. Did you know that there are approximately 1.4 million Americans suffer inflammatory bowel?
