Why we need powerful probiotics, I’m not talking about the pathetic probiotics you can buy from the healthfood store. These are often touted as leading edge or powerful probiotics, you’ll see them with 5 to 50 billion CFU’s that’s colony forming units.
This in reality is the most CFU’s you’ll find but it’s not enough. Come back tomorrow and I’ll tell you about a probiotic more powerful than anything else in the world that also has a wider variety of strains that are so much more beneficial to the human body.
I’ll tell you about a life changing probiotic that is more cost effective and more powerful than anything else.
Digestion is the mechanical and chemical breakdown of food into smaller components that are more easily absorbed into a blood stream, for instance. Digestion is a form of catabolism: a breakdown of large food molecules to smaller ones.
The whole digestive system is around 9 meters long. In a healthy human adult this process can take between 24 and 72 hours. Food digestion physiology varies between individuals and upon other factors such as the characteristics of the food and size of the meal.
Food enters the mouth, being chewed by teeth, with chemical processing beginning with chemicals in the saliva from the salivary glands. This is called mastication. Then it travels down the esophagus into the stomach, where hydrochloric acid kills most contaminating microorganisms and begins mechanical break down of some food (e.g., denaturation of protein), and chemical alteration of some. The hydrochloric acid also has a low pH, which allows enzymes to work more efficiently. After some time (typically an hour or two in humans, 4–6 hours in dogs, somewhat shorter duration in house cats, …), the resulting thick liquid is called chyme. Chyme will go through the small intestine, where 95% of absorption of nutrients occurs, through the large intestine, and are eliminated during defecation.
