But what happens in between is far from ordinary! That’s where your digestive system—also known as your gut—works its magic. It Takes Guts explores the amazing things that happen in your body after you eat and drink including: The surprising role that food and digestion play in your mood and immune system. The amazing tools your body uses to break down food including acids, which do their thing without burning a hole in your stomach! The incredible truth that not all bacteria is bad!
