How important is our digestive system and why do we need to take care of it?
The digestive system – which includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, small intestine, colon and rectum – breaks down the food we eat into the nutrients our body needs. If your digestive system is not happy and healthy, your body could run into problems absorbing those nutrients.
To achieve the goal of providing energy and nutrients to the body, six major functions take place in the digestive system: ingestion, secretion, mixing and movement, digestion, absorption and excretion. So keep a tab on your digestive tract by helping your digestive system work better to boost the body’s natural defenses and protect your immune system.
Among the most important signs of an unhappy & unhealthy digestive system are: fatty liver diseases, an upset stomach, or constipation. These could all be eased through a healthy lifestyle, balanced diet and regular consultation with your doctors.
The world’s leading digestive health products — Essentiale® Forte P and Dulcolax® — join hands in a campaign to make our digestive systems happier and healthier. Together, the three brands take action on World Digestive Health Day on May 29th, reminding people about the importance of keeping their digestive system in check.
If your liver is damaged due to unhealthy lifestyle and diet, it affects the entire body, including your digestive health. Essentiale® Forte P contains essential phospholipids that repair damaged liver cell membrane, regenerate lost phospholipids and restore normal functions of the liver, for a happy digestive system.
Kids’ tummies also need to be on track to help keep their digestive system working happily the way they should. Experts say probiotics may help ease your child’s digestive disorders and make potty training more manageable.
