We have 22 feet of small intestine. I don’t think we appreciate that enough. 22 FEET. I am more guts than anything else. I am basically guts tucked into a cavity with limbs, connected to a brain. We all are.
Clearly I’ve been reviewing my physiology notes.
But seriously, our small intestine is under appreciated. It’s what really runs the digestive show, not the stomach. The stomach is just the blender that dumps into the intestine, where all the nutrients are actually absorbed.
It’s so strange to think about how little we think about how our bodies work. How much we don’t really know or understand. About our own bodies?! It makes me kinda mad,
So from our guts, it goes into our blood, then to our liver and then out and about (brain, heart, etc).
For some reason (insert lots of sarcasm here), I always pictured mouth-stomach -ass-thighs.
When really it’s mouth (stomach)-guts-blood-heart-brain-body.
From one set of guts to yours, LC.
