That's a Lot to Swallow. (The body).(Brief Article)
Fiber Foods
Q. What do you need to eat every day even though your body cannot digest it?
A. Fiber. Fiber is a part of plant foods that helps food travel smoothly through your body as other food is digested. Fiber is found in grain, vegetables, and fruit, usually in the outer layers.
Chew on This
Digestion is the breakdown of food into nutrients that the body can use for energy and growth. Digestion starts in the mouth, where food is chewed. Saliva mixes with food to help make it soft enough to swallow. After it's swallowed, food goes down a tube called the esophagus to the stomach. Muscles in the tube push the food along.
In the stomach, food mixes with stomach juices until a thick liquid is formed. Then it moves into the small intestine, a long, narrow tube.
Juices in the small intestine finish digesting the food, which is now a thin liquid containing nutrients. The liquid with its nutrients moves through the lining of the small intestine into the blood. The heart pumps the blood to all the cells of the body.
