Food is like fuel for our bodies. When we eat, our body gets the energy it needs to do all sorts of things like run, play, and even think! But before our body can use the food we eat, it has to go through a special process called digestion. Digestion starts in our mouth, where we chew our food into smaller pieces. Then, it travels down a long tube called the digestive tract. Along the way, our stomach and other organs help break down the food into nutrients, which are like tiny building blocks that our body can use. These nutrients are then absorbed into our bloodstream and carried to different parts of our body, giving us the energy we need to grow, learn, and have fun!
