It has a unique flavor, making it a popular ingredient in drinks, desserts, and meals.

As a muscular organ (sitting on the upper abdomen on the left side of the body), the stomach, through the secretion of gastric acid and digestive enzymes and contractions, breaks down food for further digestion in the small intestine. Healthy Stomach and Your Health According to Dr. Alberto Gonzalez, each portion of the digestive system and its related organs play one or more roles in the digestive process. Abusing any of these organs (such as the stomach) in any way impairs (decreases, increases, or distorts) their functions, paving the way for related disease symptoms such as heartburn, colic, esophagitis, diverticulitis, nausea, bloating, migraine headache, sensation of fullness, etc. These symptoms either localize (at the location of impairment) or are g...
