Digestive Diseases
Digestion is the process of turning food into fuel for energy and for maintenance of the body. Maintaining good digestive health has a lot to do with lifestyle - the food you eat, how much exercise you get, and the everyday stress you place on yourself. However, other factors such as inherited genetic diseases can play a role in digestive diseases, such as those discussed here.
