Answer:

If you are referring to digestion...

Well your body cannot take in food as is because your body cannot absorb it. What digestion does is it actually picks out what the body can take in and gets rid of everything else that cannot pass through the mucosa (lining of the digestive tract).

Aside from this, your body actually uses food as a source of nutrients that are needed for your different cells to function. So the digestive system transforms it into a form that the cells of your body can use to perform their function. Many of these nutrients are used for not only maintaining the organs but for repair and replacement too.

Hey there!

Depending on the type of cardiovascular disease, the procedures can be different accordingly. Some include:

  • Medication (to improve blood flow, improve heart rhythm, and reduce lipoprotein cholesterol)
  • Surgery (Valve replacement/repair and artery bypass)

If you are closely related to someone that has CVD, you can help them in these ways:

  • Communication
  • The anxiety you have can affect the other person so don't show it to much
  • Knowing when to call for help is very important
  • Knowing when to care and when to be social
  • Working with yourself and doctor to find which options are the best to help

Best of Luck!
