All about Digestion
Good digestion is absolutely central to our overall well-being. Good digestion means having energy, a peaceful mood, hormonal balance, an effective immune system... In short, it contributes greatly to the proper functioning of the body.
The digestive system begins with the ingestion of food through the mouth and ends with the expulsion of waste through the anus. It is based on a series of precise steps: chewing, enzymatic digestion, intestinal absorption, and then elimination via transit. This complex mechanism involves many organs and depends on a subtle balance between digestive secretions, intestinal motility, and the quality of the microbiota. Its main mission is to transform ingested food to extract all its energy and nutritional qualities.
A well-regulated digestive system is therefore a guarantee of well-being, but the slightest imbalance can cause numerous problems: acid reflux, bloating, stomach ache, constipation, bad breath, deficiencies, etc.
