The digestive system is a 25- to 35-foot-long hoselike structure. It receives food at
one end, breaks it down into nutrients (a process called digestion), and absorbs the
nutrients into the bloodstream for delivery to the cells. The indigestible parts of food
are eliminated from the body. The eliminatory system helps maintain water and chemical
balance and removes excess fluid and waste from the body.
The primary structures of these systems are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small and
large intestines (colon), kidneys, bladder, and anus.
When things go wrong
Digestive disorders are a major source of lost time. We all are familiar with such
inconveniences as constipation, diarrhea, heartburn, urinary tract infections, flatulence,
and upset stomachs. Digestive disorders also account for such serious problems as
hepatitis, jaundice, cirrhosis, diverticular disease, and cancers of the digestive system.
Anyone who suffers from digestive problems knows how horrible they can make life.
Why things go wrong
Diet is often the main culprit. We eat too much processed food and sugar, and not
enough fiber, fruits, and vegetables. This alone can result in constipation. Poor eating
habits, such as eating too quickly and "grazing" our food, are also part of the
problem. In addition, parasites are a largely unknown but major problem. Other risk
factors are lack of exercise, effects of prescription and over-the-counter drugs, smoking,
stress, and alcohol.
To maintain digestive-eliminatory health
Many digestive problems can be prevented through lifestyle. Live the Healthy Cell
Concept™ and be sure to get adequate amounts of fiber, fruits, and vegetables.
Don’t eat "on the run": set a dinnertime and stick to it! Eat foods such as
yogurt, which contain beneficial bacteria that our digestive systems need. Consider
supplementing with pre and probiotics, digestive enzymes, and aloe vera, all of which can
aid in digestion.
