Hi!
Why do our intestines have to be so long and twisted? What was nature’s reasoning for our poop to have such a long path to its destination? And basically, what is constipation?
It riddles me, why our poop doesnt just go straight to the exit, but it need to pass this weird meaty highway inside us 🤣

The small intestine is there so you can absorb all the nutrients in the food. You also have bacteria living inside you that help your body break the food down and absorb it into your body.
The large intestine is there to reclaim all the water your body put into the food to break it down. If the food skipped your large intestine all the time, you’d lose an absolute ton of water to your poop, which in the natural environment would be very bad.
