The Digestive System
April is here, and spring is in full bloom! Gardens are growing, farmers’ markets are opening, and there will be more colorful, fresh fruits and vegetables to enjoy. Have you ever heard the phrase, “you are what you eat?” Everything in your AMAZING body depends on the food you eat to grow, heal, and rebuild. The food we eat becomes the building blocks for our bodies.
But food gives us so much more than energy to run, play, think, and grow. Through healthy digestion, your body turns a juicy apple or a delicious sandwich into tiny building blocks your cells can use to heal a scrape on your knee, repair cells that need help, and make the bio-chemicals your organs need to do their jobs.
Have you ever wondered what happens to your food after you take that first bite? Where does it go? How does your body break food down into the tiny molecules it needs to be healthy? The answer is your AMAZING digestive system.
