The Body as Industrial Machinery: Watch This!

How exactly does the food we ingest go into the stomach? Do you have a visual? I happen to not have one and therefore was delighted in finding this  short video illustrating what happens.

I was particularly fascinated with the head, right above the eyes, which he depicts as a photographer there seems to be three people around a conference table, discussing? Making strategies?  The picture is too small even when I try to make it bigger so can't quite make out what exactly is happening in each little compartment. I can look at it for hours! [If you can't see the picture go to ClaudiaYoga.com]

What is going on in the top? is that a library on the right?

Tirumalai Krishnamacharya [teacher of P.Jois, Iyengar, Desicachar et all] said that the biggest problem that causes early death is in the stomach, specifically in the big stomach, or when we eat without thinking, too much, and bad foods.  Very interesting to see the video zoom into this activity on how the food goes from mouth all the way to the other end.

Not sure I see the body as an "industrial" piece of machinery [The video is called "The Body As Industrial Palace], in fact I believe seeing it that way is what leads western medicine to treat just one peace of the body without respect or connection to the others, but nevertheless, this video by Hennin M. Lederer is cute and informative.  I had no idea there was a little man opening a valve from the stomach to the intestines, hee hee.

Great way to visualize it.
