Digestion is the breakdown of food into smaller molecules that can be absorbed into the bloodstream. It involves both mechanical and chemical digestion. Mechanical digestion is the physical breakdown of food while chemical digestion uses enzymes to break food down into molecules. Poor digestion can be caused by factors like stress, eating too fast, or consuming processed foods. Improving digestion involves chewing food well, drinking water, reducing stress, and eating probiotic foods like yogurt or fermented foods that support the digestive system.
