Digestion Is Important for Your Health. Like most things related to our bodies, we only pay attention to our digestive system when it's giving us a problem. Otherwise, we tend to overlook it and put all sorts of things into it without a second thought. Although we learn about the process of digestion in high school, most of us had other things on our minds back then.
