TO IMPROVE PERISTALSIS:
1. Eat FRUIT rich in fiber like apples and Pears. Fruit is PREDIGESTED so it goes through your gastrointestinal tract more quickly.
2. DO NOT LIE DOWN AFTER EATING A MEAL. This is one of the MAIN CAUSES of acid reflux disease, over time will cause a more serious condition known as hiatal hernia. Look it up on WebMD.

What process in humans would change the most if peristalsis would stop?
If peristalsis were to stop in humans, the movement of food through the digestive system would be severely affected. Peristalsis is responsible for propelling food through the esophagus, stomach, and intestines for digestion and absorption of nutrients. Without peristalsis, food would not be able to move along the digestive tract, leading to blockages, discomfort, and potential malnutrition.
