I'll list them then: 1. The second part of your small intestine is called the jejunum 2. Enzymes in your digestive system are what separate food into the different nutrients that your body needs. 3. The gut-brain axis is the close bond that exists between the digestive system and your brain. Emotions (including stress) and brain disorders affect how your body digests food. 4. The small intestine is about 22-23 feet long while the large intestine is only about 5 feet long. 5. Aerobic exercise is the best type of exercise to keep your digestive tract in shape.
