Digestion Process

Before choosing a cleansing product, you need to be familiar with the digestion process. It will help you to understand why it is advisable to cleanse one organ before the other and not opposite around.

The digestive system is formed from the digestive tract and other organs that play their specific roles in the digestive process. The digestive tract runs from the mouth to the anus and includes the muscular tube, the stomach, and the intestines.

After we chew and swallow, the food moves into the throat. From the throat, the food passes down the muscular tube in the chest and through that tube it arrives in the stomach. The stomach has a valve that allows the food to enter the stomach and then squeezes shut to keep the food or the fluid from flowing back up into the tube. The stomach muscles toss and mix the food with acids and enzymes.

Usually, all the substances in the food we eat can not be absorbed by the stomach. When the food has reached the right consistency, it travels in to the small intestine. There, the digestion of food continues so that the body can absorb the nutrients into the bloodstream.

The liver (located under the rib cage on the right), the gallbladder (hidden just below the liver), and the pancreas (beneath and behind the stomach) are not part of the digestive tract, but these organs are vital to digestion.

What do they do for the digestion? The liver produces the bile to assist the body by the absorption of fat. The bile runs from the liver to the gallbladder, where it stays until it is needed to breaks down fats and neutralizes acids. The pancreas produces enzymes for the digestion of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. The enzymes and the bile travel through special channels directly into the small intestine, where they help to break down food. Then the liver handles and processes the nutrients that arrive in the blood from the small intestine.

When the work of absorbing nutrients is nearly finished, the undigested food moves from the small intestine through a valve to the large intestine. This valve prevents the food from returning to the small intestine. The main function of the large intestine is to remove water from the undigested matter and form solid waste that can be excreted. The large intestine is made up of three parts. The first part is the pocket at the beginning of the large intestine. This transition area expands in diameter, which allows the food travel from the small intestine to the large. The colon is the second part. It extends from the pocket up the right side of the abdomen, across the upper abdomen, and then down the left side of the abdomen, finally connecting to the rectum. The ascending part of the colon absorbs fluids and salts, and the descending part of the colon holds the resulting waste. Bacteria in the colon help to digest the remaining food products. The third part of the large intestine is the rectum. There, the feces are stored until the bowel movement.

The entire process from food entering your mouth to being excreted through the anus should take about 24 hours. If your body works right, you should have 3 bowl movements a day. Otherwise, the material stored in the colon decomposes, becomes toxic and poisons your body. This is the reason why the colon cleanse would be the most important step towards health improvement.
