Blood must flow freely to supply nutrients and oxygen to cells, stomach much work well to extract nutrients, small intestine must function well to absorb and assimilate nutrients, liver must perform at its full capacity to process toxins and perform various nutrient regulating jobs, large intestine must function well to eliminate internal dirt out of the body, lungs must breathe-in fully to keep body oxygenated, brain must pass on right signals to different parts of the body for their optimal functioning. Thus, our whole body including the mind maintain a closely-knitted synergetic relationship to perform internal processes that keep us functioning well and internally clean.
