How food digests?
Have you ever wondered how food is digested in your stomach? I will provide you an explanation as to how food is digested in your stomach.
The food that you eat is masticated with your teeth and saliva. The food is moved to the back of your mouth by your tongue to the trapdoor or oesophagus.
The food goes down your stomach and is broken down by the digestive juices. The broken down food moves to your small intestine, here the goodness is soaked in.
The remainder of the food moves to your large intestine and the water is taken out. The food needed by your body is transported by the blood and is used for growth, repair and energy.
Waste food is excreted and it goes out of your anus. I trust that you now know what happens to your food when you eat.
