Human Digestion requires good food & time to function properly.

Digestion involves the mechanical and chemical breakdown of food into components that can be absorbed into your blood stream and in a healthy human digestion this can take between 24 and 72 hours. The type of meals that you eat can either help or hinder your digestive process. Foods such as fruits, vegetables, wholegrains, nuts, seeds and A-grade protein improve human digestion. But, a diet high in saturated fats, meat, sugar, caffeine and fast foods slows your digestion, affecting your general health and reducing your absorption of essential nutrients.
