Food is the energy source for the human body. The process of breaking down food and converting it into a form that can be absorbed into the body' s tissues is called digestion. The human digestive system includes a group of organs that uses mechanical and chemical actions to change food into nutrients - carbohydrates, fats, and proteins - the products needed for the human body to function. To ensure our body properly digests and absorbs the needed nutrients found in the foods we eat, one must keep the digestive system healthy and clean. By following a well balanced diet, eating small meals regularly, reducing the amount of refined fats and refined sugars, and drinking plenty of fluids between meals, one can help keep their digestive system on track. To help maintain the digestive function, Standard Process offers many whole food health products to help support the digestive system.
