The Gut and its Functions
Our gut, which includes all the organs involved in digestion, plays a crucial role in breaking down food. The stomach grinds up food, adds acid for breakdown, and passes it to the small intestine for nutrient absorption. The large intestine absorbs most of the water, and what's left becomes feces. The gut also acts as a barrier against harmful microbes and has an immune system to prevent illness.
