The digestive machine – what if the money you spend on food is being flushed down the toilet?
Description
The digestive system is a complex structure within our bodies. Its ability to endlessly function – digesting, breaking food down, and extracting vital nutrients is a feat of genius engineering. Therefore, when a component within that system is interfered with there can often be a knock-on effect that could impair digestion.
