El consumo exclusivo de purés puede dañar tu intestino si cometes este error

Contrary to what people believe Miguel Ángel the puree can be eaten occasionally but it's not recommended and I'm going to explain why It is better to eat a meal that you have to chew and digest than a puree and there is a very simple reason for this that you will perfectly understand Digestion begins in the mouth Some people think digestion doesn't start in the mouth but begins when we swallow food but that's not true because saliva contains digestive enzymes That is as soon as we put food in our mouth saliva begins to perform its function which is to start digesting the food Food begins to dissolve the moment it comes into contact with saliva Then what happens Normally when we eat a puree we put the spoon in our mouth and swallow it so the puree doesn't even have time to mix with the saliva Then in that way it is not digested the same Notice it's funny because everyone thinks well normally you take a puree and that's it it's already digested you don't have to digest anything right But it's important that the food starts to digest and dissolve with saliva from the very beginning from when it enters the mouth Then when you eat a whole food you chew it and dissolve it and it starts being processed to be swallowed later So if you take a puree or something that's very finely chopped that step of digestion is going to skip it But it's not the same even though we think that because it's so mashed and pureed and very crushed we'll digest it better but no And indeed there are many people who have had problems precisely because they take too many purées Sure because look let's see saliva has enzymes that are digestive enzymes that already take care of digesting the food breaking it down and splitting it apart okay What nutrients are you know They start functioning in the mouth But saliva also has antibacterial function It has enzymes with antibacterial properties For what To start eliminating the bacteria that can accompany the food So what happens We put the puree in our mouths and quickly swallow it so the problem is that a stage in the digestion process is missing Then what happens We can later meet people with whom we spoke during the consultation They say well how about you How are you What are you eating They say no but if I eat well like vegetables I eat everything pureed and I don't know what and I don't know how many right But despite that the person may have digestive issues or experience adverse reactions to the foods they consume Allergies such as food allergies can occur right Intestinal problems or digestive issues and so on Because the foods are not digested One thing is being crushed and another is digestion the transformation so that they can be absorbed by our body That is the problem the problem that can arise from eating puree Another thing when we eat the puree or the soup we take it slowly But sometimes the soup is even drunk someone can take it and drink the soup straight down Do we know that there are people who eat the meat and swallow it without chewing it Either way it's another problem doing it in a rush too isn't it But right now we are looking at the point of saliva Isn't it very important Yes it may seem like a silly thing but it's very important I assure you And yes because it's simply thought of as a lubricant for the mouth But of course that's what we say it's just a piece of any food in the mouth it's dry Like bread for example It's bread that's completely dry and hard And the saliva makes it soft in a moment Soft Yes yes it dissolves it It dissolves it Yes yes because saliva is basically a compound that is water It's water with a series of digestive enzymes that are going to help us precisely for that purpose To aid digestion How curious isn't it Also look at this Digestion does not start when we put food in our mouth Digestion starts before When we think about eating or when we smell or see food Automatically the stomach starts to produce acids and our mouth starts to salivate We already have the saliva there ready and prepared for when the food arrives When people say when they talk about food they say "my mouth waters " right Of course that's exactly it Oh and when you eat somewhere and get hungry right Yes and the listeners don't know that our body or our mouth can produce a liter of saliva a liter of saliva daily Who is in charge of that saliva well for that to aid in digestion And those are things that well we don't know but they are very interesting to know That's why when it's said you have to eat slowly Well eating slowly is for that Then the food feels good Because if we are then nervous that's something else When we are nervous and our bodies are tense Then when eating digestion won't be effective because the intestines and stomach will be tense When we are nervous hormones are also released from the adrenal glands which is good so we don't get into a mess When we are nervous what happens is that when digestion occurs Nutrients instead of going to the liver and being filtered there or the bacteria or toxins They don't go through the liver when we are nervous They go directly into the blood Then if you are nervous or tense about something it's better not to eat When you are very tense very nervous or very worried it's better not to eat save it for later We calm down and when we are most calm we eat Because you already know even our stomachs can hurt a lot Because the food didn't agree with us due to our nervousness We might develop gastritis or even an ulcer Of course because all the toxins have gone directly into the bloodstream because they have not been filtered by the liver Yes that's right When we are nervous and agitated we are tense and eating the stomach is contracted And then it can hurt Isn't that right Rocío Isn't that how it is Yes exactly Okay Rocío that's one of the steps in digestion right There are more steps Then when it is crushed the food is softened is mixed with saliva which is called the food bolus Then with the tongue we pushed it and it starts to go down the esophagus Sure if we take for example imagine a piece of bread this is hard bread We put that piece of hard bread in our mouth and swallow it immediately it's going to scratch our entire throat Well that's the function of saliva Saliva works by softening it meaning it makes it ready for us to swallow Our esophagus is a flexible tube that is quite long measuring about 25 centimeters in length Well there are people who are taller than longer right Then the food is moved from the back of the throat to the stomach But the trachea is also located at the back of the throat It allows air to enter and exit our body When we swallow a small piece of food that has been crushed and softened Or some liquid there is a valve or a flap of special tissue which is called the epiglottis or epiglottis which closes the trachea To ensure that the food enters the esophagus instead of the lungs If for example you have ever drunk something too quickly as started coughing and maybe someone told you that it went out the other way The person meant to say that the liquid had accidentally entered your trachea That happens when the epiglottis doesn't have time to close and then we start coughing our body starts coughing Automatically without even thinking about it to expel what has been introduced that food or that liquid It has been introduced into the trachea and can reach the lungs Once food enters the esophagus it does not go directly to the stomach Instead the muscles in the walls of the esophagus move They move in a way twisting a wave-like movement As it crushes the food while it moves down the esophagus This can take about two or three seconds And then we get to the stomach right Rocío That's right so when we get to the stomach The stomach is connected to the lower end of the esophagus and is a sac like a kind of elastic bag It has a shape that is approximately similar to a "J" Then the stomach performs three basic functions The first is to store the food we consume The second is to break down the food into a liquid mixture that is the liquids and juices that the stomach has They help break down the food that has not been broken down by saliva They also help grind what remains of the food Then slowly pour that liquid into the small intestine that is once the food has already been digested They pass directly into the small intestine Then well to give you an idea the stomach basically acts like a blender It mixes and grinds all the food particles coming from the esophagus into smaller and smaller fragments Then this is done with the help of the strong muscles that line its walls and the gastric juices which secrete gastric juices in these stomach walls This in addition to breaking down and digesting food Stomach juices also help destroy germs and bacteria that may be present in the food you eat Then gastric juices are quite strong and not only help digest food but also protect it To prevent germs from entering the intestines or at the very least to avoid as much as possible their passage Then when it has passed through the stomach it slowly moves into the small intestine which is a long tube with a narrow diameter about 3.5 to 5 centimeters and it is folded over itself inside and beneath the stomach Then if you were to fully extend the small intestine it would measure approximately 6.7 meters in length It's like to give you an idea 22 notebooks lined up one after another That's how long it is Well just remember that at Solnatura Center we are here to
