All about Digestion
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.
