Digestive System, im in love with you

Hey guys, in this opportunity i wanted to talk about my favorite system in the body, the digestive one and why it is so amazing. Well in first place our digestive system is composed of many organs, your mouth, teeth, tongue, throat, stomach, instestines, liver, and many more !, you might ask why it is so amazing to me, well, because it manages the sense of taste, and there is nothing that i love more than eat, but the taste sense does not work by himself, it requires the smell sense too to give you a correct flavour of things, thats why when you are sick you cant feel the taste of food and its horrible to eat delicious foods without feeling the taste,  

  
 The digestive system is the one in charge of extracting energy from what we eat, and nourish our bodies and keep them supplied with what we need, proteins, carbohydrates and fats mainly, but how does it work? It has the chemical mechanisms to break the molecular bonds of the nutrients, transorming complex proteins in mere aminoacids, long carbohydrates chains in small simple sugars and fats...well they take a longer time to break down, thats why they are our energy reserve. 

 it is located along the body, from the mouth to the rectum, taking detours to the liver, and pancreas, which are pretty helpful organs, because the pancreas help us keep a nice sugar level on our bloodstream and the liver helps us in being a backpack of nutrients and minerals and also the billiar vesicle helps us digest fats, in fact the liver has so many nutrients that is one of the healthier foods, contains iron, calcium, proteins and a ton of vitamins A and B´s with low fats and calories.

its huge !! believe it or not even if you are 1,60 meters tall like me your intestines alone are between 6-8 meters, in fact the intestines are so long and strong that they are used as ropes for ships and strings for violins, a bit gross but fascinating

sadly, our digestive system has so many organs and its so long that there are infinite posiblites of contracting an illness, like hepatitis, diarrhea, dysenteria, Diabetes, malfunctioning absorbing nutrients, gallstones, pancreatitis, and the most popular, apendicitis, so you should take a look how you cook your dishes and how clean is your kitchen

The only way to keep it healthy is having a balanced diet, not eating lettuce and drink water only, your body needs carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals and fats, you may say, hey fats are dangerous to your heart, yes but not all fats are the same, for example, you have saturated fats which are solids, unsaturated fats like oils and polyunsaturated fats that are...BOOM they are Omega-3 and Omega-6, the same that keeps your brain fresh and your heart happy,

 so not all fats are danger, the most dangerous are the trans fatty acids, they are the responsible to plug your arterias, so to can keep our bodies healthy we need a correct balance between, cereals for energy, fruits for vitamins, veggies for minerals, meat and/or legumes for protein and minerals and fish with seafood for healthy fats.
