All these parts work together to keep us alive and to help us move around. The parts of the human body are like the parts of a very complicated machine. Like any other machine, however, if it is inexpertly cared for, over-taxed or insufficiently used, it will become rusty, sluggish or clogged and parts of its mechanism may even grind to a halt. That is why it is so important to keep every part of the human machine healthy and properly cared・ To keep in good running order, the body requires the raw materials for growth and the replacement of tissues when necessary. Our bodies bum food like fuel to produce the energy we need・The human digestive system is a bit like a very long tube, but ifs a lot more complex・ Its several meters long, and most of it is carefully coiled up in our abdomen. It has several important jobs to do.First, it must digest or break down our food. Digestion starts the moment food enters our mouth・ Then it continues as the food is squeezed along the gut by muscles in the wall of the intestine. As the food travels through the gut, natural chemicals called enzymes are added to it, which help break down the food. Then this digested food and water must be absorbed from the gut into our blood stream so that it can be used by the body・ Finally, the gut must carry away any waste products in the form of feces.Usually our intestine does all these things very efficiently・ But sometimes things can go wrong・ Probably the most common gut symptoms are diarrhea and constipation
