So … What is Digestion?
In order to be healthy, our body needs nutrients provided by food. Digestion is the mechanism that breakdown insoluble food particles into water-soluble food molecules that will be absorbed by our system and be used for energy, growth, or cell repair.
Each step of the digestion is necessary to move what has been swallowed through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and break it into small pieces. The whole process will eventually allow the nutrients being absorbed properly by our body.
The mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum and anus are the main organs involved in digestion. Helping them along the way are the pancreas, gall bladder and liver.
