\nDigestion begins in the mouth. After all, it performs important tasks in the digestive system. First and foremost is chewing. This divides the food into smaller pieces that can be processed more easily in the stomach. The smaller the food particles, the more favorable the ratio of surface area to volume. This increases the surface area for stomach acid to attack, which shortens the digestion process.<\/p>\n
In addition, saliva already contains enzymes. Saliva not only transforms the food into an easy-to-swallow food slurry, but also pre-digests carbohydrates. This is why, for example, mixed rye bread tastes sweet if you chew on it for a while.<\/p>\n

The hydrochloric acid also kills many harmful bacteria contained in the food. After 30 minutes to 8 hours in the stomach, the end result is a semi-liquid mass that is passed into the small intestine.<\/p>\n 4-<\/span> Liver<\/strong> 5-<\/span> Gallbladder<\/strong> 6-<\/span> Pancreas<\/strong> Info: The pancreas is also responsible for producing insulin.

If these are irritated, further digestive enzymes enter the small intestine. With the help of the digestive enzymes, the small intestine extracts around 90 percent of all nutrients from the food pulp along its entire length and thus takes over the lion's share of nutrient absorption.<\/p>\n 8-<\/span> Large intestine<\/strong> The intestinal flora also ensures that the last nutrients are broken down from the food and separated from waste products. Solid stools are formed by removing water. As soon as sufficient stool has accumulated, it reaches the rectum and triggers the corresponding stimulus for excretion.<\/p>\n Women\u2019s Biotics<\/a><\/p><\/div> People who suffer from overweight have a different bacterial flora than slim people. Often overweight people are colonized with \"Firmicutes\" bacteria and too little with the rank-and-slim \"Bac-teroidetes\" bacteria. Also a sign of a not optimal colonization in the intestine are digestive problems. Women's Biotics is the ultimate all-in-one product for a healthy, even better intestinal flora and supports you that the good intestinal bacteria settle in the long term.<\/p>\n\n\t\tWomen's Biotics<\/span>\n\t<\/i><\/a>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n As you can see, our digestive system is not only extremely important, but also very complex. This makes it all the more important that you recognize digestive system disorders as early as possible. Watch out for warning signs such as bloating, constipation, diarrhea or abdominal pain.<\/p>\n Heartburn, nausea, sickness, vomiting and difficulty swallowing can also indicate digestive disorders. Persistent weight gain (or persistent weight loss) and bleeding from the intestines should be taken particularly seriously. In the latter case in particular, you should definitely consult your doctor.<\/p>\n Possible causes of digestive disorders are extremely varied. The spectrum ranges from a simple food intolerance to diseases such as hepatitis. The following causes, among others, can be behind digestive problems:<\/p>\n Please note: Digestive problems can also occur in the first few days after changing your diet. This is the case, for example, if you suddenly start eating a diet very high in protein and fiber.<\/p>\n Fortunately, you can keep your digestive tract healthy and even support your digestion with a few simple tips. By supporting your digestion, you support the optimal functioning of your body. This will benefit your health, improve your athletic performance and simply make you feel better.<\/p>\n Tip 1 -<\/span> Drink enough fluids<\/strong> Sufficient water intake also keeps the stool smooth, which in turn reduces the risk of anafissures and other injuries in the anal area. Therefore, drink at least 2 liters of water a day. Ideally, however, you should drink about 1 liter per 20 kilograms of body weight per day.<\/p>\n Interesting fact: Even if some pseudo-hip guru sites claim the opposite, drinking before eating does not dilute your stomach acid. Instead of inhibiting digestion, fluid intake actually aids digestion.<\/p>\n Tip 2 -<\/span> Reduce excess weight<\/strong> Excess weight itself also causes problems for the digestive tract, as it exerts pressure on the digestive organs. This applies in particular to fat in the abdominal cavity, which additionally constricts the organs.<\/p>\n Tip 3 -<\/span> Exercise regularly<\/strong> Tip 4 -<\/span> Chew your food thoroughly<\/strong> Therefore, chew each solid bite a good 20 times before swallowing it. Careful chewing also gives your stomach enough time to prepare for digestion. It also makes you feel full sooner. Ideal conditions if you want to lose weight.<\/p>\n Tip 5 -<\/span> Eat a high-fiber diet<\/strong> Fiber also serves as a nutritional basis for the intestinal flora. These are \"good\" intestinal bacteria that help to break down nutrients, neutralize toxins and generally ensure your intestinal health.<\/p>\n Tip 6 -<\/span> Avoid cold food<\/strong> Tip 7 -<\/span> Drink less alcohol<\/strong> For the same reason, the obligatory schnapps after a meal is anything but conducive to digestion. A coffee or espresso is much better. Drinking too much alcohol also leads to heartburn, liver problems, diarrhea, etc. So only drink alcohol in moderation.<\/p>\n Tip 8 -<\/span> Stop smoking<\/strong> Tip 9 -<\/span> Support your gut with probiotics<\/strong> With the right diet and optimal support, you can get your digestive system back on track.<\/p>\n Das menschliche Verdauungssystem ist ein wahres Wunderwerk der Evolution.

\nAs soon as you swallow the food, muscles move the food pulp into the oesophagus. Contrary to what you might think, the \"connecting passage\" between the mouth and stomach is not a smooth tube. The oval-shaped oesophagus has numerous muscles that transport the chyme towards the stomach by tensing and relaxing in wave-like movements. Once the food has reached the lower end of the oesophagus, the chyme irritates the sphincter muscle of the lower oesophagus. The sphincter muscle then opens and allows the food to pass into the stomach.<\/p>\n
\nThe stomach acts as a kind of buffer that digests large quantities of food. The food pulp comes into contact here with digestive enzymes and stomach acid. The latter is highly concentrated hydrochloric acid, which chemically breaks down the food pulp further. The rhythmic movement of the stomach muscles mixes stomach acid and food pulp.<\/p>\n
\nIn order for food to be digested in the small intestine, your body needs bile. This is produced by the liver. The task of bile is to support the digestive enzymes in breaking down fats into fatty acids. With the help of bile, food is broken down further in the small intestine. Nutrients absorbed through the small intestine enter the bloodstream, where the liver cleanses the blood of harmful substances.<\/p>\n
\nThe gallbladder, which is located directly below the liver, has the task of storing bile and recycling excess bile from the small intestine. This means that the bile can be used again at a later meal. As soon as you eat something, the gallbladder contracts due to nerve signals. The bile then enters the small intestine via the bile ducts.<\/p>\n
\nThe pancreas is just as irreplaceable for digestion as the gallbladder. It is responsible for producing a secretion that your body needs for the chemical digestion of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. The secretion passes through the pancreatic duct into the common bile duct, where it mixes with bile and finally enters the small intestine.<\/p>\n
\nThe small intestine is a tube about 6 meters long and 2.5 centimetres thick, which is connected to the stomach via a sphincter muscle (pylorus). The small intestine is characterized by its tortuous shape with numerous bulges, folds, villi and elevations. This gives the small intestine a very large surface area, making it easier to absorb the nutrients contained in the chyme.<\/p>\n
\nWith a length of around 1.5 meters, the large intestine is significantly shorter than the small intestine - but with a diameter of a good 6 centimetres, it is considerably thicker. The large intestine is responsible for the final stage of digestion. After the food has been almost completely freed of nutrients and passes from the small intestine into the large intestine, the large intestine removes minerals and fat-soluble vitamins as well as water from the food.<\/p>\n![\"Womensbiotics](\"https:\/\/fitnfemale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/womensbiotics-closeup2-247x296.webp\")

Typical signs of indigestion<\/h2>\n
There are many causes of digestive disorders<\/h2>\n
\n
Boost your digestion with these 9 tips<\/h2>\n
\nAlmost every process in our body runs better with sufficient water. Digestion is no different. The digestion of fats and soluble fiber in particular requires a lot of water.<\/p>\n
\nBeing overweight is a risk factor for digestive problems. For example, the sphincter muscle between the stomach and oesophagus may not close properly. This can cause stomach acid to leak back into the oesophagus and lead to unpleasant symptoms such as a burning sensation behind the breastbone.<\/p>\n
\nThe lack of exercise caused by our modern lifestyle is also a significant risk factor for digestive problems. Exercise regularly to get the intestinal and stomach muscles moving. Endurance training such as running, swimming, cycling and rowing is ideal. Half an hour a day is enough and not only supports your digestion, but also your cardiovascular system.<\/p>\n
\nThe better you chew your food, the easier it is for your body to continue the digestion process. The smaller the food particles are, the easier it is for your body. If you gulp down your food, it's no wonder that you struggle with bloating, flatulence and the like.<\/p>\n
\nA high-fiber diet is also very beneficial in several ways. Insoluble fiber, for example, ensures that the stool thickens and acquires a healthy consistency that allows it to move easily through the intestines. In addition, fiber makes it easier to break down fats and thus digest high-fat foods.<\/p>\n
\nThe digestive system works best when it is warm, as the enzymes involved in digestion need warmth in order to work optimally. Warm food that is at least at body temperature is therefore much easier to digest than cold food, as it first has to be heated up to body temperature.<\/p>\n
\nAlcohol is a neurotoxin. As the body gives top priority to breaking down the \"poison\", it reduces all other processes. So until the alcohol has been broken down, digestion does not function optimally either. Anyone who has ever drank through the night knows the game from experience.<\/p>\n
\nJust like too much alcohol, smoking also damages the digestive tract. On the one hand, this is due to the many toxins it contains. On the other hand, regular smoking leads to a weakening of the sphincter muscle between the oesophagus and stomach. Heartburn provoked in this way can become chronic and, in the worst case, even increase the risk of stomach and bowel cancer.<\/p>\n
\nBeneficial bacteria are essential for our gut. They keep harmful bacteria in check, strengthen the immune system and are essential for optimal digestion and nutrient absorption. Regular consumption of foods containing probiotics is therefore the ideal boost for your gut. Good sources of probiotics are sourdough bread, sauerkraut, cultured dairy products or fermented soybeans.<\/p>\n\n
