DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS

The digestive system breaks down the food we eat, extracting nutrients and assimilating them for use throughout the body. Proper digestive-system function is essential to maintaining good health and energy levels. The body requires nutrients from all three-food categories (proteins, carbohydrates and fats) to survive. Digestive concerns are common to Americans. These include indigestion, heartburn, acid reflux, and insufficient enzymes, stomach ulcers and stomach cramps.

After food is chewed and swallowed, it passes through the esophagus and enters the stomach. The stomach secretes hydrochloric acid and certain enzymes to begin the breakdown and sterilization of the food. The stomach is particularly important to the digestion of proteins. Typically, the stomach will hold about a quart of food or liquid, but its muscular walls can expand to hold much more than this. The stomach is lined with a durable mucus coating that protects it from hydrochloric acid and other gastric juices.
Ulcers form when a portion of this mucus lining wears thin, and the digestive juices aggravate the stomach.
