Toxic effects of calories

(scrpt- Based on their chemical nature, nutri-ents can be grouped into organic (carbon-containing)
and inor-ganic classifi cations.)

Summary : your digestice system turns the food you eat into nutrients the mouth is the beginning of
the digestive tract. Digestion starts here as soon as you take the 1st bite of the meal, the throat is the
next destination for food from here, food travels to the esophagus or swallowing tube. The esophagus
is a muscular tube extending from the throat to the stomach by means of a series of contractions, the
esophagus delivers food to the stomach. The stomach not only holds food it’s also a mixer and
grinder. When it leaves the stomach. Food is the consistency of a liquid or paste. The small intestine
continues the process of breaking down the food. What’s left of the food is handed over to the large
intestine or colon. Stool or waste left over from the digestive process, is passed through the colon the
rectum’s job is to receive stool from the colon to let you know it’s time to poop .the anus is the last
part of digestive tract. The anal sphicnters provide fine control of stool.

Assessing Caloric Content of Foods- Accurate assessment of the caloric value of foods is essential
for effective nutritional management in clinical and public policy arenas.

Studies have shown that the hypothalamus plays a central

role in the control of energy balance, especially food intake.
