The mouth, the throat, the stomach, the intestines and the rectum are the organs that make up the digestive system. Each of these organ depends on the preceding one to work properly. If one of them is not working well, it affects the others very adversely in their work. To aid digestion,One must help these organs to function properly by ensuring, from the start, that we make the best use of them, beginning with the mouth. Chew food very well to ensure that the next stage of digestion is not hampered.
The mechanism of the body is so perfect that it lacks nothing if we take good care of the body as we should. The body provides enzymes that are capable of breaking down starches, and work on proteins to make them usable by the body. The production of these enzymes can be enhanced by the in-take of foods such as brewer’s yeast, honey, kelp and papayas (pawpaw). To ensure that one does not reduce the effectiveness of these enzymes, a right combination of food items should be taken at meals. When we combine carbohydrates and proteins at the same meals and eat fruits after them we delay the absorption f what we should get from fruits which are digested in 30 minutes. We cause confusion in the system and bring about flatulence (gas) and discomfort to the whole body.
