Something is always happening in our digestive system: stomach acid breaks food down, enzymes help what you eat absorb properly, and bacteria neutralize their harmful varieties. If the digestive mechanism works like clockwork, we feel good—but the smallest disruption in this established process immediately ruins our mood and can even lead to a serious illness.
The book “Digestion. How’s Yours?” is devoted to one of the most important systems of the human body, where the path that food takes as it enters the body is examined in minute detail. Thanks to it, you’ll learn what makes food bitter or salty, why children love sweets so much, how the microbiome works, why we need beneficial bacteria, and you’ll also study 10 rules for a healthy gut.
