What Is The Digestive System?
The digestive system is truly amazing and is made up of many different parts:
Firstly, there is the gastrointestinal tract or GI. This is the passage that food takes from your mouth to your anus and is made up of a number of hollow organs including the mouth, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine (which contains the cecum, colon and rectum) and anus.
The solid organs that make up the digestive system are the liver, pancreas and gallbladder. Other aspects of the body that play a part in digestion is your gut flora (or microbiome) as well as parts of the nervous and circulatory systems such as hormones and blood.

What Does Your Digestive System Do?
Your digestive system has a vital role to play in the body; it works to take the essential nutrients out of the food and drink we consume and then disposes of the leftover waste as stool. This includes vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrate and water, all being filtered and broken down into small pieces that are easy for the body to absorb. These are then taken around the body by the circulatory system and used to fuel every single cell for energy, growth and cell repair.
What Is Your Gut Flora?
Human gastrointestinal microbiota, also known more simply as gut flora, are lots of tiny microorganisms that live within the digestive tract – tens of trillions of them in fact! That may sound bad as in most cases we associate bacteria with something negative, but in this case, the gut flora is very beneficial to the health of the body. The main function of this good bacteria is to digest foods that the stomach and small intestines haven’t been able to, promoting healthy digestive function. They additionally help with the production of Vitamins B & K, and with protecting the immune system.
