 Large Intestine
In contrast to the small intestine, the large intestine is only about five feet in length, but, as we have said, its diameter is of much greater width.
During this time, a large part of the water and the remaining digested food products are absorbed, and with absorption the residual matter becomes more and more solid and finally assumes the character of feces or the "finished" waste matter of digestion.
It is of utmost importance, therefore, that the intestines be kept in a clean, vigorously healthy state, not only that they may perform their function of elimination of waste adequately, but and in many respects this is more important in order that digestion and absorption may be optimally completed.
