Acidity food digestion

The serine proteases cleave amide (peptide) bonds in peptides and have a wide variety of functions, including food digestion, blood clotting, and hormone production. They feature as one of the best-understood groups of enzymes as far as mechanism of action is concerned. We are able to ascribe a function to many of the amino acid residues in the active site, and we also understand how they determine the specificity of the various enzymes in the group. 

The absorptive state continues for 2-4 hours after food intake. As a result of food digestion, the plasma levels of glucose, amino acids, and fats (triacylglycerols) temporarily increase. 

There is a truism athletes face often without realizing it. You are what you absorb, not just what you eat. When you eat whole /complete protein source food such as round steak, your teeth grind up the fibers into smaller pieces. If you do not chew your food, digestive enzymes /juices fail to access enough area of these fibers to fully break them down. Less area exposed, less digestion, less amino acids to supply growth and repair.

Because organs contain several different tissues, they can perform complex tasks. The stomach, for example, has layers of muscle for mechanically breaking down food. The lining of the stomach contains cells that secrete acid and digestive enzymes. Furthermore, the lining is able to absorb water and electrolytes. Another organ, the eye, contains muscle to rotate the eye and allow the eye to focus. Cells in the retina are able to convert light to electrical impulses that are transmitted down the optic nerve to the brain. 

Fat is a concentrated source of energy that provides 30-40% of dietary calories in developed countries. Fat imparts palatability to food, serves as a vehicle for fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K and supplies essential fatty acids. The digestion products of fats, along with endogenously synthesized lipids, provide a diverse group of molecules that play a critical role in multiple metabolic processes. 

A major extracellular anion, but it easily moves into intracellular places It is important for balancing osmotic pressure In the stomach it becomes linked with H+ ions to form hydrochloric acid, which is essential for food digestion... 

Buffers. .. we all need them. These are chemicals that manage to maintain a stable body pH by the way they react with excess acid or alkali. Too much acid and a stomach ulcer develops too little acid and digestion of foods is affected. Buffers keep the pH just right. Over-eating makes the stomach buffers work overtime and they can take some time to catch up after over-indulgence. The proteins and amino acids of our bodies work as part of the buffer system. 

Nutritional Implications. The nutritive quality of any protein depends on three factors amino acid composition, digestibility, and utilization of the released amino acids. Bacemization brought about by processing can impair the nutritive value of proteins by (a) generating non-metabolizable forms of amino acids (D-enanticmers), (b) creating peptide bonds inaccessible to proteolytic enzymes, and (c) toxic action (or interaction) of specific D-enanticmers. Little is known concerning the health consequences of human consumption of racemized proteins. No study has specifically evaluated amino acid losses due to racemization within food proteins. 

A key physiologic response when the body is exposed to foreign substances is the production of fluids at the site of exposure to help dilute, solubilize, or physically clear the substances. For example, inhalation of particulates leads to an increase in the amount of mucous and other fluids produced in the respiratory tract. Ingestion of food or other substances triggers the production of increased stomach acids to maintain the pH optimal for food digestion in the stomach. 

You may already be experiencing symptoms of an unbalanced pH, such as fatigue, infections, inflammation, digestive problems, and allergies. You are eating the textbook Standard American Diet. You need to address diet and lifestyle issues to decrease your exposure to acidic foods and habits. The Ultimate pH Solution will show you how. 

The nutritional value of a food is determined by its protein quality, which depends mainly on its amino acid content, digestibility, influence of antinutritional factors, and the tryptophan to a large neutral amino acids ratio (Comai et al., 2007). 

Humans make an acid in their stomachs called hydrochloric acid. Hydrochloric acid helps digest, or break down, food. Mucus, a thick substance inside the stomach, protects it from hydrochloric acid. Hydrochloric acid can eat through the lining of the stomach. This happens when there is not enough mucus to protect it. People can get a hole in their stomachs called an ulcer.
