Our body doesn’t know what to do with the high levels of refined sugar, salt and vast amount of chemicals used in modern food production
Proper digestion is vitally important, as our bodies need the nutrients from food to function properly. These nutrients include vitamins, minerals, fats, proteins and carbohydrates which are needed by the body for energy, immune function and cell repair. Proteins break down into amino acids, fats become fatty acids and glycerol, and carbohydrates break down into simple sugars . Our digestive system breaks these nutrients down into small enough parts for our body to be able to absorb them.
Our digestion is a complex system which includes ingestion and propulsion of food, mechanical and chemical breaking down, absorption and finally elimination through defecation. Even before we start eating, the sight and smell of food sends messages to our brains which then creates saliva. Hormones and nerves are also part of the digestive process. Messages continually flow back and forth between our GI tract and our brain.
