Digestion

Digestion is the breakdown of food substances into smaller particles so it they can be absorbed into the bloodstream, and thus provide essential nutrients to the body. Medically, it is also known as catabolism. The digestion process involves two steps: mechanical digestion and chemical digestion. Mechanical process is chewing the food, so that it can pass to the stomach via the esophagus. Chemical digestion is when the food particles travel to the small and large intestine, where the digestion process takes place with the help of chemicals and enzymes.

Not everything that seems healthy or mouth-watering may be good for your health. Many foods can cause digestive problems too. If you experience stomach ache and indigestion after eating a particular food, it best you avoid it. Here is a list of foods that are difficult to digest.

The digestion is a breakdown process where the enzymes break down food into nutrients or smaller food molecules, from which the body derives energy to use for cell repair and nourishing the body. Many bodily functions become difficult when you are facing digestion problems.

If you have been suffering digestive issues, you must try out herbal or home remedies before going the medical route. Herbal remedies as well as home remedies for better digestion are easy and effective ways to deal with indigestion.

The belief that good digestion is the key to good health stands true and that yoga can treat it all fits in here very well. Practicing yoga can also help improve digestion as well as pave the path to good health.

Not only foods but there are many fruits and nuts that can help in treating indigestion and there are some fruits that you must eat for better digestion and clear bowel movements.
