5. evolution
The evolution of the horse was beneficial because now it can _______ ______________ _____________ .
Your digestive system is quite complex and so many factors come in to help digest food and get essential nutrients required for repair of any damage to the walls of digestive system.
PH Balance
The process of digestion begins in the mouth, as many enzymes in your saliva help break down food. The digestive tract will lose its effect when there is no pH balance. Your body helps maintain that balance by changing the pH from the saliva. This helps create an acidic gastric environment that helps break down food quickly to protect your body from bacteria and pathogens.
Beneficial Microflora
To maintain homeostasis, your body maintains a hospitable environment for good bacteria. Beneficial gut floras like Bifidobacterium and Acidophilus work well to fight off infections and harmful bacteria when they get a feasible environment through regulation of pH combined with a balanced enzyme ration. These helpful bacteria are also capable of breaking down drug metabolites and carcinogens that may cause cancer. They also help your body produce vitamin K as well as other biologic substance.
