Digestive organs

The digestive system is a complex mechanism of organs responsible for digesting food and absorbing nutrients.

Digestion begins in the mouth, where amylase breaks down carbohydrates. That’s why it is recommended to drink liquids in small sips, holding each in the mouth so they can mix with saliva. Meanwhile, solid food should be chewed for a long time to turn it into a mush.

The stomach plays a key role in digesting proteins and fats.

The liver produces bile needed for fat breakdown. On a keto diet, the liver also starts producing ketones, which are used as an energy source instead of carbohydrates.

All digestive organs play an important role in providing the body with necessary nutrients.
