The food we eat moves through the gastrointestinal tract (a long, connected, hollow tube that starts from the mouth and ends in the anus), and there are lots of organs involved in this process. Along the way, the body absorbs the beneficial part of the food after digestion, giving your nutrients and energy. The remaining part is given out as a waste product.
In a large bowl, you need to combine 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, oregano, garlic, and olive oil. Whisk them until they combine and add chicken thighs before tossing to coat. Cover the bowl with a wrap and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes in the refrigerator and up to 2 hours.
The health of your gut has a huge impact on your body and it goes a long way in determining your overall health. The trillions of bacteria present in the digestive tract make up the gut microbiome (made up of good and bad bacteria, yeast, fungus molds, etc). And they help in digestion and contribute to the health of our entire body, including our brains, immune system and more.

Have you ever noticed that you naturally experience different levels of alertness and sleepiness throughout the day? This is mainly caused by two factors- your sleep/wake homeostasis and your circadian rhythm/ body clock. When you stay awake for a long time, your sleep/wake homeostasis tells you that a need for sleep is accumulating and it is time to sleep. In addition, it helps you get enough sleep throughout the night to make up for the debt. This way, you get a balance between sleep and wakefulness.
So, you might ask, “Why do some sleeping pills and prescriptions not work?” Well, firstly, you must understand that not all drugs sold over the counter or prescribed are safe and effective.
