Eating less can lead to a longer life: massive study in mice shows why
In the study, mice that lost the most weight through a calorie-limited diet did not live the longest. Instead, the mice that maintained better immune function and showed greater resilience to the stress of food restriction had the longest lifespans. This suggests that leanness itself may not be directly tied to longevity, and the benefits of caloric restriction may depend more on how the body adapts to the stress of reduced food intake.

Sitting alongside the neurons in your enteric nervous system are underappreciated glial cells, which play key roles in digestion and disease that scientists are only just starting to understand.

Digestion
Digestion is the breakdown of large insoluble food compounds into small water-soluble components so that they can be absorbed into the blood plasma. In certain organisms, these smaller substances are absorbed through the small intestine into the blood stream. Digestion is a form of catabolism that is often divided into two processes based on how food is broken down: mechanical and chemical digestion. The term mechanical digestion refers to the physical breakdown of large pieces of food into smaller pieces which can subsequently be accessed by digestive enzymes. Mechanical digestion takes place in the mouth through mastication and in the small intestine through segmentation contractions. In chemical digestion, enzymes break down food into the small compounds that the body can use.
