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.
In the process, your body absorbs important vitamins, carbohydrates, minerals, fats and proteins. It can take hours or days for the food to complete its journey. It begins with the oesophagus. The oesophagus is about 25 centimetres long and moves food from the back of your throat down to your stomach. It takes about two to three seconds for the muscles in the oesophagus to move the food along. Your stomach is the tub at the end of the tunnel.
