How long a shower should last depends upon the flow rate of your shower. If you have the hot water turned high, it won't last very long. Typically, the average shower consumes about 15-25 gallons of hot water. Try replacing your shower head with a low-flow type. If your water heater is electric, one of your heating elements might be burned out or you could have a bad thermostat. A plumber should be able to diagnose and correct the problem for you.

The small intestine is the location in the body where the majority of the nutrients from ingested food are absorbed. Whereas the stomach is responsible for the churning and mechanical breakdown of food, the small intestine is very important for absorption.he ileum is preceded by the jejunum. This section of the small intestine is approximately 6 to 12 feet (3.5 meters) long. The ileum absorbs mainly vitamin B12, other water soluble vitamins, bile salts, and nutrients that were not absorbed in the jejunum.
The small intestine is packed underneath your stomach and uses the liver, pancreas and gallbladder to break your food down even further. The small intestine sucks most of the vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates and fat out of your food. It takes your food more than four hours to work its way through.
