Cash advance. A cash advance is not a regular credit card charge. A cash advance allows you to withdraw cash from an ATM, bank or by using checks given to you by the issuer for use when paying with your card is not an option. Be aware that while a cash advance may be useful in an emergency, it is usually expensive.
Digestion time varies between individuals and between men and women. After you eat, it takes about six to eight hours for food to pass through your stomach and small intestine. Food then enters your large intestine (colon) for further digestion, absorption of water and, finally, elimination of undigested food.
While the food travels on its 20-foot trip through the small intestine, it is being broken down more and more by the intestineâs digestive juices until most of it is in liquid form. This liquid is then absorbed through the small intestineâs walls into your blood stream. Your blood stream takes the liquid to all parts of your body to feed its cells. The parts of food that your body hasnât digested and cannot use go into a fat, coiled 5-foot-long tube called the large intestine. There, water is absorbed from that remaining food and returned to the blood stream, and the undigested food leaves your body as waste. It takes about 48 hours for your body to completely digest the food from one meal!
