⚠️ Do you think that eating good food is all that matters?
Wrong! It is important to know the secret of the 'factory and machine' inside the stomach! 🎬
Learn the story of the complex 'secret tunnels and players' behind food to energy and health (Digestive system) 🤔
Things included and considered in the digestive system!🛍️
This is not a simple machine; it is the smartest and hardest-working intelligent system in your body.
We often follow a simple rule: "Give your stomach good food, and your body will get energy!" But if it were that simple, then there would be no stomach diseases in the world!
We all know that eating good food gives you energy. But did you know that there is a complex, intelligent, and wonderful 'superhero team' sitting inside your stomach to convert your food into energy—called the Digestive System!
Let's get acquainted with the members of this team: A, B, C, and D.
Let's see where exactly urgent work is going on inside our body! 👇
Team-A.📘🛍️ Primary Organs: The team's starting seven ⚽
They play directly on the field from food intake to waste excretion, like a football match!
1. Mouth: The beginning of the game! Ingestion, chewing, and the initial digestion of sugars begin with the enzyme (Amylase) from the salivary glands.
2. Pharynx: The 'traffic controller' that accurately sends food from the mouth to the esophagus.
3. Esophagus: Sends food to the stomach through a special wave motion called peristalsis.
4. Stomach: The 'mixer grinder'. Starts breaking down proteins through acids and enzymes, and converts food into Chyme (a soup-like mixture).
5. Small Intestine: The VIP zone of nutrient absorption, which consists of the following three main parts:
🔹Duodenum: This is the first part of the small intestine. It is connected to the stomach.
Here, bile and pancreatic enzymes come and digest fats and carbohydrates.
Here, bile and pancreatic enzymes (pancreatic juice) come and start digesting proteins, fats, and carbohydrates in food.
🔹Jejunum: This is the middle part of the small intestine.
The wall contains numerous folds and tiny hair-like structures (villi), which enhance nutrient absorption.
Absorbs most of the nutrients (such as glucose, amino acids, fatty acids) digested from food and sends them to the blood.
🔹Ileum: This is the last part of the small intestine. It starts after the jejunum and is connected to the large intestine (ileocecal valve).
Absorbs vitamin B12, bile salts, and other nutrients.
6. Large Intestine (Colon): 'Recycling unit'. Essential water and electrolytes are absorbed from here, and feces or waste are formed.
7. Rectum and Anus: Store the waste produced and excrete it at the right time.
Team-B.📘🛍️ Accessory Organs: Provider of secret weapons 🛠️
Although they do not come into contact with food themselves, they help the main organs by producing very important enzymes or digestive 'juices'.
1. Salivary glands: Produce saliva to start digestion in the mouth.
2. Liver: The body's 'main QC gate'. Produces bile (which helps break down fats) and detoxifies and processes all the blood coming from the intestines.
3. Gallbladder: Stores the bile produced by the liver and supplies it to the small intestine under pressure when needed.
4. Pancreas: 'Multi-tasking chemist'. Produces powerful digestive enzymes and simultaneously controls blood sugar by producing insulin.
Team-C.📘🛍️ Supporting elements and considerations: The inner intelligence of the stomach 💡
Not just an organ, this "inner environment" or intelligence is essential for the digestive process.
1. Digestive Enzymes: These are the 'food-cutting scissors'. Such as Amylase, Protease, and Lipase, which break down food into small particles.
3. Gut Microbiota: Your stomach's 'trillion trillion helpers'! These beneficial bacteria digest food, produce vitamins, and keep the immune system active.
4. Mucosal Lining: This is the 'protective wall' of the stomach wall. Protects the gut and helps absorb nutrients.
5. Gut-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (GALT): The immune guard of the gut! About 70% of your immune system resides here, protecting the body from disease.
6. Enteric Nervous System (ENS): The "second brain" of your gut! It controls the rhythm and signals of digestion, almost automatically.
7. Hormones & Neurotransmitters: These are the 'internal messengers'. Such as Gastrin (digestion), Serotonin (mood), and Ghrelin (hunger), which directly affect your digestion, appetite, and mood.
Team-D.📘🧠 Other related or broader considerations: The ecosystem of well-being 🏞️
The functioning of the digestive system is not limited to the stomach. It has a profound effect on the ecosystem of the entire body.
1. Hydration (adequate water intake): An essential 'lubricant' for the production of digestive juices and the smooth movement of food.
3. Dietary Fiber: This fiber is the main food for your beneficial microbiome and is the key to preventing constipation.
4. Lifestyle Factors (Sleep, Stress, Physical Activity): Insufficient sleep or excessive stress directly disrupts the digestive process. A proper lifestyle maintains the rhythm of digestion.
5. Antibiotic/Drug Effects: Drugs like synthetic antibiotics destroy the digestive ecosystem by destroying the beneficial friends of the stomach and other systems.
6. Liver–Gut–Brain Axis: This triad proves that your stomach, liver, and brain are in constant communication with each other—that's why a healthy stomach means a healthy mind!
✨🌿 Final and main message💞
Find permanent and long-term healing!
Your digestive system is made up of a miraculous real team.
And your health, strength, and future depend on the skills and performance of each team and team member 🤔
So "Find permanent healing by repairing and maintaining its broken ecosystem, not quick relief."
Share and let other friends know! What great work is going on inside their stomach! 💖
And let healing start from the stomach!
Because, "If the stomach is healthy, the mind and health are healthy; if the mind and health are healthy, the life and the world are healthy!" 🤩🌿
