"Smoking causes drastic changes in the _______ system, which is responsible for converting foods into the nutrients the body needs to survive."

This is a question on a health crossword puzzle given to me by my teacher. Problem is, I know nothing about this "system" and have no other way to look it up. What goes in the blank?

How many letters are in it and are any of the letters already "inserted" into it?

There are 9 letters in it, and the second letter is "i".

go to google and type in " what system does smoking make drastic changes in?"

Thanks!! :)

yup

The system that "is responsible for converting foods into the nutrients the body needs to survive" is the digestive system.

I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.

When you eat too much, several things can happen. The most common effect is that you can experience discomfort and feelings of fullness due to overstretching of your stomach. This can lead to symptoms such as bloating, heartburn, and indigestion.

In addition, eating too much can also contribute to weight gain and obesity. When you consume more calories than your body needs, the excess calories are stored as fat, leading to weight gain over time. This can increase your risk of developing various health problems, including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer.

Furthermore, overeating can disrupt your body's natural hunger and fullness signals, making it difficult to regulate your food intake and potentially leading to a cycle of overeating.

Overall, it's important to listen to your body's cues of hunger and fullness and to eat in moderation to maintain a healthy balance.
