Keeping a happier, healthier digestive system

-

HOW important is your digestive system and why do you need to take care of it?

The digestive system, which includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, gallbladde­r, small intestine, colon and rectum, plays a crucial role as it breaks down the food we eat into the nutrients our body needs. If your digestive system is not healthy, your body could encounter problems absorbing the needed nutrients.

To achieve the goal of providing energy and nutrients to the body, there are six major functions that take place in the digestive system: ingestion, secretion, mixing and movement, digestion, absorption and excretion.

One of the clever ways of watching your tummy is by helping your digestive system work well as it will boost the body’s natural defenses and protect your immune system.

Among the most important signs of an unhappy and unhealthy digestive system are an upset stomach, constipati­on and fatty liver diseases. However, 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 your digestive system happier and healthier.

If your liver is damaged due to unhealthy lifestyle and diet, it affects the entire body, including your digestive health. Essentiale Forte P, which is made from the natural soya beans, contains essential phospholip­ids that repair damaged liver cell membranes, regenerate lost phospholip­ids and restore normal functions of the liver, for a happy digestive system.

Constipati­on, on the other hand, makes your colon feel blocked and unhealthy. Keep things moving and bring happy back to your digestive system with the laxative Dulcolax, as it stimulates bowel movement within six to 12 hours.

Digestive health is likewise associated with your lifestyle and diet choices. The right choices lead to a happier and healthier digestive system. If you do the necessary steps to keep your digestive system in check, you take a stand in improving your overall health and well-being.
