Understanding and digestive function, the process of breaking food into its component nutrients so that they can be assimilated into the bloodstream and used by the body for various functions.
From the above understanding, it is clear that the role is very important for digestive health and growth of our body.
Digestive Process
Digestion is assisted by a combination of digestive enzymes and food enzymes. Digestion begins in the mouth, where enzymes in saliva begin to break down starch and sugar molecules.
In the stomach, hydrochloric acid (HCl) began to act on proteins while enzymes in food continue to reduce the smaller and smaller. Food leaving the stomach and enters the small intestine, a rich alkaline enzyme secreted by the pancreas. Digestion of nutrients continues until ready for absorption into the bloodstream.
The reality is that most of us do not chew our food, which means that the salivary enzymes can not act before the food moves into the stomach. Even raw food must be chewed well as cellulose (fiber) is difficult to break down and the pancreas makes cellulase, cellulose enzyme targeting. Fluids should also revolve around the mouth to allow the enzymes begin to break down sugars and starches. Food should be chewed until liquid before swallowing: at least 30-50 chews per mouthful.
The body does not recognize these food particles (especially proteins) as a nutrient, in the form of an allergic reaction or inflammatory response, Immune System that can be healing body wounds and fight viruses, bacteria, yeast and fungi.
Conclusion
From the description above, if you want a healthy digestive tract and then chew the food until creamed, do not eat hot food, or too cold. Choosing healthy foods and beverages.
