Disgusted is the behavior of the body that are reactive to prevent. Feelings of disgust for both the body because it can prevent the onset of more severe health problems, such as contracting germs.
"Disgusted is a form of precautionary measures to protect us from the signs of threat, such as disease," said Val Curtis, from the UK's London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, as reported from Newscientist, Monday (05/03/2010).
When looking at the nasty things the body will feel disgusted as a nervous response from the brain that there is a potential threat of bacteria if not avoided.
"The feeling of disgust came before it comes in contact with the bacteria that prevent the body from infection, and the body will usually respond by vomiting or nausea," said Val Curtis as reported from Medicalhypotheses.

2. Contempt reminiscent of something dangerous
Something dangerous and carry diseases can also cause a sense of disgust, such as blood, feces or vomit. "Disgusted is an evolutionary response to dangerous goods," said Lance Workman, a psychologist at Cardiff University.
3. Teaches contempt for the wise to the body
This is often a physical reaction that reminds us what is happening with the environment. Usually as a reflection that we must be aware of the reasons of disgust and ultimately avoid those things. That's what makes us wiser on the body.
