The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is responsible for ingestion of food and beverages, its propulsion, digestion, absorption, and finally excretion of its unabsorbed waste products. It is one continuous tube, measuring about 7-11 meters. Different sections have different structures, pH, and functions. Symptoms of a GI disease may differ according to the location and type of lesion. In the oral cavity, the patient may have trouble eating and swallowing. Esophageal reflux may cause heartburn, peptic ulcer disease and pancreatitis may cause stomach pain, while ailments of the intestines may cause malabsorption and diarrhea. GI ailments can greatly reduce the quality of life. They can also hasten mortality. The GI system is strongly affected by lifestyle factors, with unhealthy lifestyles increasing the risk and progression of various GI ailments. This manuscript looks at its relationship with four lifestyle factors, namely smoking, alcohol intake, exercise, and obesity. Its relationship with diet was discussed in part I of this two-part manuscript.
