The digestive tract of the human being includes organs of the digestive tract. It is therefore the mouth, throat (pharynx), esophagus, stomach, small intestine and large intestine. The latter, otherwise called colon, is an important step in digestion. After absorbing the nutrients, the colon gets rid of the rest of the food, which is waste and bacteria.
Divided into 4 parts, this organ begins with the ascending colon, followed by the transverse colon, then the descending colon and ends with the sigmoid colon connected to the rectum, which, in turn, eliminates waste through the stool. That said, if the waste accumulates in the colon, the digestion eventually slow down which can lead to intestinal problems such as gallstones and constipation.
It is therefore necessary to take regular measures in order to clean your colon and maintain its daily hydration. Getting rid of accumulated toxins has many health benefits including improving the immune system, fighting constipation, better digestion and so losing weight.
