Digestion
The digestive tract runs from the mouth to the anus and is among other things responsible for the consumption, digestion and the intake of food but also for the secretion of waste. This system also produces hormones and contains 70% the immune system. Via the vagus nerve, it also has a direct connection to the brain. The intestines are also called the "second brain" where most of the neurotransmitters are produced. In the stomach an optimal production of stomach acid is essential for a barrier against pathogens but also for food digestion and absorption of nutrients such as vitamins.

Building blocks and energy
The digestive system is responsible for breaking down food into nutrients that the body can absorb and use. The nutrients are used as building materials needed to grow or to replace damaged cells in the body, or to convert them into energy. Digestion starts as soon as something is imbibed or ingested. Multiple organs are involved in this complex process.
Promoting digestion
Nutrients provide our body with building blocks and energy. There are various ways in which the organs involved in these processes can be supported in natural ways. Plenty of exercise, a varied diet and drinking enough fluid contribute to optimal digestion and bowel movements.
