"๐ INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE STOMACH YOU MAY NOT KNOW ๐
Have you ever been curious about our most crucial digestive organ โ the stomach? Let's explore some fascinating facts about the stomach that not everyone may know, brought to you by Castoma:
โ
Digestion doesn't happen in the stomach:
In reality, digestion primarily takes place in the intestines. The stomach acts as a ""mixing machine."" When food enters the body and goes down to the stomach, it is mixed with acid and enzymes before being sent to the intestines, where the food is truly transformed into energy, fats, or waste products.
โ
The stomach doesn't shrink:
Many believe that by reducing the amount of food intake within a certain time frame, the stomach will shrink, reducing hunger and making us feel fuller more quickly. The truth is, in adulthood, each person's stomach will develop to a certain size and will remain that size unless surgically altered to be smaller.
โ
Stomach size is unrelated to body weight:
Surprisingly, there is no correlation between body weight and stomach size. A thin person can have a stomach as large as, or even larger than, an overweight person. An adult stomach can hold approximately 1.5 liters of liquid food.
โ
Stomach and the bedtime story:
You are often advised not to eat too much before bedtime because nighttime eating may leave the stomach unable to digest the food properly. The stomach has a specific timeframe for its functions, and excessive nighttime eating can make you feel bloated, indigestive, or experience acid reflux.
