Digestion is a process that breaks down food into nutrients and energy that the body needs. Food is broken down through a multi-step process in the digestive system, which includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. This allows the body to absorb important vitamins, minerals, proteins and other nutrients from food to fuel all bodily functions and support growth and development.
