================== ARTICLE START ==================

As much as we would like to deny it, the digestive system is

our favorite system of the body. Why? Because it involves food

of course. It is through the digestive system that the body is

able to make use of the vitamins, minerals as well as the other

nutrients that we consume daily. The digestive system actually

breaks down the food that we put into our bodies until it is in

a form that can be used by our cells in order to ensure our

being healthy. However, not everything that we put into our

mouths constitutes as being “healthy”, there are several

vitamins and minerals that directly affect the quality and

efficiency of the process of digestion. A conscious effort to

consume the proper amounts of these nutrients daily is a good

start towards having a well functioning digestive system.

First, let’s break down the digestive process, beginning in the

mouth, with the saliva and the teeth. Healthy teeth are

essential to proper chewing, which breaks down the food into

teeny tiny pieces so that it can pass through the esophagus

while the enzymes start on their work. Calcium, magnesium,

phosphorus, Vitamin D and Vitamin C are all essential nutrients

to having healthy teeth. Your teeth’s very structure depends

greatly on these vitamins and minerals. Calcium and phosphorus

are the primary building blocks of the teeth while Vitamin D

helps enhance the calcium absorption by the body and rounding

off this process of having healthy teeth are magnesium and

vitamin C.

Vitamins that make up the vitamin B complex actually have a

highly important role in keeping one’s digestive system working

efficiently. Thiamin, or Vitamin B1 helps increase a persons

appetite while it also keeps the nerves in good working order.

Nerves, who are the “communicators” of the body, are important

to the process of digestion, because it helps regulate the way

we act and move, for example whenever we’re eating it’s

actually our nerves who sends the message to our brains that

the food is tasty or not or even when we’re already full or

still wants some more. Niacin, or B3, is necessary for the

health of the digestive tract as it contributes greatly to its

general health and functioning as well as keeps its surfaces

healthy. Niacin also helps to keep the tongue in good health

and to be able to perform its role in the digestive process

more efficiently. Vitamin B9, also known as folate, folic acid

and folacin, is also important to the maintenance of the

gastrointestinal tract. The bacteria in the digestive tract

actually helps produce Vitamin K which is essential to the

blood’s ability to clot.

There are many minerals that help out enzymes to break down

food. It is highly important to not that without these

minerals, our enzymes our not actually enough to be perform

proper digestion in a person’s body and poor digestion can

automatically lead to a lot of health problems. Manganese is

just one of the minerals that helps out our enzymes during

digestion, it also helps our bodies make use of whatever

benefits that we can get from the food that we take. When it

comes to regulating one’s appetites however, chromium is a

vital mineral that greatly affects a person’s food cravings and

daily intake.

Poor nutrition can actually lead to various problems in the

digestive system which is why meeting the standard recommended

daily amount of the vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients

that your body needs is a good way to avoid poor digestion as

well as the gastrointestinal illnesses that can be brought

about by such negligence. Aside from a well-balanced diet and

proper exercise, there’s no harm in actually taking some

nutritional supplements to ensure that there’s no lack of

nutrients in one’s body.
