*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
It doesn�t take a rocket scientist to understand why a healthy digestion is one important driver of a healthy body. What our body will be like in later life depends on what we eat today, inasmuch as our diet has something to do with whatever conditions we have. It follows that we may feel signs of illnesses if our body does not effectively absorb the food we take in for digestion. Just as our lungs process the oxygen we breathe in, our digestive system converts calories into energy for use by our body. Today digestive supplements come in handy if we should have a hard time digesting our meals.
Let�s trace the digestion process starting from the mouth. Food like starch is broken down into simpler substances by digestive enzymes in the mouth, creating a mass that passes through the esophagus, a narrow muscular tube at the back of the mouth. In a few seconds the food enters the stomach where gastric acid kills the microorganisms taken in with the food, the enzyme pepsin prepares proteins for the next step. Much of the absorption takes places in the small intestine. Bile and pancreatic juice are discharged respectively from the gall bladder and pancreas into the first section of the small intestine and make fats and proteins ready for absorption into the blood. The large intestine doesn�t further degrade food but absorbs vitamins produced by a host of residing bacteria. It also compacts and stores fecal matter until discharged through the anus.
Digestive supplements consist of a combination of enzymes, herbs, and probiotics.
Enzymes
The enzymes that we need for digestion are protease, amylase, and lipase that directly break down proteins into peptides and amino acids, starch into simple sugars, and fats and oils into lipids. Digestive supplements may also contain the enzyme cellulase not produced in our body that helps break down vegetable matter from which we get vitamins, fiber, and dietary minerals and gets rid the digestive system of poisonous substances from microorganisms, salts of heavy metals, and cholesterol deposits.
Herbs
A multitude of herbal remedies for indigestion and constipation, such as dandelion, barberry, gentian, centuary, chamomile, boldo, mugwort, tarragon, hop, horehound, fennel, horseradish, jasmine, snakeroot, beet, and cayenne pepper, may be included in digestive supplements as they stimulate digestion by promoting active secretion of digestive juices at the same time.
Probiotics
Probiotics, popularized as friendly bacteria, are live microorganisms that have been a part of food and digestive supplements. They are purported to maintain the balance of microbes in the intestines by keeping toxin producing pathogens from colonizing the intestines. Trials have found out that these bacteria play a key role in the conversion of carbohydrates into short chain fatty acids, the degradation of many dietary compounds, including calcium, magnesium, and iron, into molecules for absorption, production of vitamins B7 and K among others, and the relief of many intestinal disorders.
Keeping your intestinal tract in good order will help you stay well for many years to come. Enzymes, herbs, and acidophilus pearls are available at your local or internet vitamin store. always choose name brands like Enzymatic Therapy to ensure quality of the product you purchase to boost wellness.
