What Is the Definition of the Digestive System, and How Does It Work? - #15798
I’ve been trying to understand more about how my body processes food, and I realized I don’t fully understand the entire system. Now I’m wondering—what is the definition of the digestive system, and how does it work? From what I understand, the digestive system is responsible for breaking down food and absorbing nutrients. But what are the main organs involved, and how do they work together to ensure proper digestion? I also read that problems in the digestive system can lead to issues like bloating, constipation, acid reflux, and malabsorption. What are the most common digestive disorders, and how can they be prevented through diet and lifestyle? Since I prefer natural approaches to health, I looked into Ayurveda’s perspective on digestion. Are there Ayurvedic remedies, herbs, or dietary practices that help support the digestive system naturally? I found that Triphala, buttermilk, and proper meal timing are often recommended—do these actually help in improving digestion? For those who have had digestive system issues, what changes or treatments helped the most? Did medical treatments, diet changes, or Ayurvedic remedies improve digestion? I’d love to hear real experiences on maintaining a healthy digestive system naturally.
