The digestive system is as important to your body as the engine is to your automobile. If you don't take good care of your digestive system, it will get damaged and break down. When the system breaks down, it becomes weak and vulnerable, which can lead to many diseases, some deadly.

The digestive system is like a long flexible pipe, approximately 28 feet, that begins at the mouth and ends at the rectum. It is your job to chew your food properly and then it is the digestive systems job to mix, mash and break down food into helpful nutrients. These nutrients should then be absorbed mainly on the upper part of the small intestine and are then distributed throughout the body. The remains are then pushed through the colon and disposed out the rectum. This is called a bowel movement, which should occur at least 2 times a day if you are regular. Bile is actually waste that came from consumed food 12 to 24 hours earlier. If you are not regular, this could be the cause of an improper functioning colon. The colon is known for serving the liver as well as all the body's organs. Therefore, it's extremely important to make sure that your colon is clean and working properly.

The Colon, also known as the large intestine, is the last section of the digestive system. After food is digested, waste moves through the colon, then through the rectum and out the anus. The primary function of the colon is to absorb all of the excess water from the intestinal contents and use it to make your stool solid. This won't take place if you haven't properly taken care of your Colon. If you don't take care of your colon a sticky, slimy mucus forms on the inner walls which becomes a perfect place for bacteria, worms and parasites to grow. These parasites then live off of the nutrients that your body requires and thus causes an unhealthy system. It also houses pollutants, chemicals, and dead cells.
