Cure for Digestion In Bellandur
Digestion is the process by which the body breaks down food into smaller molecules that can be absorbed and utilized by cells for energy, growth, and repair. It involves a series of mechanical and chemical processes that take place in the digestive system. The process begins with the intake of food through the mouth, where it is broken down into smaller pieces through chewing and mixed with saliva. Once the food is chewed and mixed with saliva, it forms a ball-like mass called a bolus, which is then swallowed. The bolus travels down the esophagus and into the stomach through muscle contractions called peristalsis. In the stomach, further mechanical digestion occurs as the muscles churn and mix the food with stomach acid and digestive enzymes. Chemical digestion begins in the mouth with the secretion of enzymes in saliva, such as amylase, which starts breaking down carbohydrates. In the stomach, gastric juices including hydrochloric acid and enzymes like pepsin help break down proteins. The partially digested food then moves into the small intestine. In the small intestine, the majority of digestion and nutrient absorption occurs. The walls of the small intestine are lined with tiny finger-like projections called villi, which greatly increase the surface area available for absorption. Nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals are absorbed into the bloodstream and transported to cells throughout the body.
