Dog digestive system::characteristics of vegetables and fruits...phytochemical

The process of ingesting and digesting food by dogs plays an important role by supplying necessary nutrients to each organ in the body.

* Characteristics of the dog's digestive system

: Omnivore, hunting in the wild, development of jaws and teeth (specialized in biting and tearing), low digestion and absorption through saliva (less carbohydrate digesting enzymes), well-expanded stomach (more acidic than humans, destruction of harmful bacteria), large intestine (colon: Bacterial fermentation process), food intake 2-3 times a day, etc.

 

* Human digestion time vs dog digestion time

 

- in the case of a person

: About 24 ~ 30 hours (complete digestion)

 

- For dogs

: Dry (about 10 ~ 12 hours), semi-dry (about 8 ~ 10 hours), fresh (about 4 ~ 6 hours)

 

* Vegetables, fruit characteristics and if the dog eats?

: Vegetables, vegetables, and fruits are rich in lipids, fats, proteins, carbohydrates, calcium, zinc, phytochemicals, and fiber.

 

It is good for herbivores such as cows and horses, but it is not possible to properly consume the nutrients necessary for dogs or cats through vegetables, vegetables, and fruits, and lacks the ability to digest them.

(Nutrients necessary for dogs and cats are well included in certified food.)

 

Herbivores consume grains to supplement protein, but they are high in carbohydrates and are not suitable for dogs and cats.

(You must consume animal protein as essential to supplement the necessary amino acids.)

* Phytochemical (phytochemical)

: Phytochemical, a chemical substance contained in plants, is a compound word of Phyto, which means plant, and Chemical, which means chemistry.

(Superfoods became widely known after being quoted by Dr. Steven Pratt, an authority on human aging, in his book, 'I eat superfoods'.)

 

It is not a nutrient that must be ingested for life, but it is said that lack of intake of phytochemicals can adversely affect health.

 

In addition to the health and nutritional aspects, the plant's unique taste, aroma, and color are widely used to enhance the flavor and personality of food.

 

- Increases antioxidant action, immune function, and detoxification action, and helps regulate hormones

- Reduction of cell oxidative damage, delay of aging, reduction of cancer cell growth rate, reduction of occurrence of hypertension/cataract/osteoporosis
