| | Your Digestive System and How It Works |
 | | Extrinsic (outside) nerves come to the digestive organs from the unconscious part of the brain or from the spinal cord. | | | Adrenaline relaxes the muscle of the stomach and intestine and decreases the flow of blood to these organs. | | | Glucose is carried through the bloodstream to the liver, where it is stored or used to provide energy for the work of the body. |

| | Understanding Digestion, Assimilation And Enzyme Nutrition |
| | When a state of balance is maintained by optimum digestion, the body is better able to prevent chronic health problems such as hypo or hyperglycemia; fatigue; headaches; candida; constipation/diarrhea; arthritis; allergies; infections or other conditions caused by a compromised immune system. | | | Many skin conditions are caused or contributed to by poor digestion and the resulting toxic environment of the intestinal tract. | | | It is even more amazing to see what happens when a person who was once toxic from the previously described conditions chooses to use natural methods to detoxify, rebuild, and regenerate their body. |

| | Dawes has used astragalus root as a tonic to strengthen muscle tone of intestines and intestinal peristalsis. | | | Fostering the healthy growth of microorganisms called bifidobacteria in our lower intestines can also promote better digestion while possibly dropping our risks of cancer and heart disease. | | | "We see symptom changes in one week or two." Since herbs are taken orally and work directly on the digestive system, "they are often the treatment of choice for GI (gastrointestinal) problems," he continues. |

| | The World's Healthiest Foods: Feeling Great |
| | The whole process of digestion involves many different organs, which are called the digestive system, and include the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestines, large intestines, rectum and anus. | | | These peptide fragments may be easier for your body to digest; that is, they may not need to be denatured in the stomach, but are still too large for direct absorption and must be digested in the intestine. | | | It is interesting, given that most digestion and absorption occurs prior to the large intestine, that food, which at this point is primarily fiber, will spend more time in your large intestine than anywhere else during digestion. |
