[00:00:00]Explaining the process of digestion.

[00:00:03]Imagine taking a single bite of food.

[00:00:06]The journey begins in your mouth.

[00:00:08]Your teeth crush the food while saliva starts breaking it down.

[00:00:12]You swallow.

[00:00:14]The food slides through your esophagus like a moving tunnel.

[00:00:18]It lands in your stomach.

[00:00:20]Powerful acids and enzymes tear it into tiny pieces.

[00:00:24]Next, the mixture enters your small intestine.

[00:00:28]Here, nutrients are pulled into your bloodstream.

[00:00:32]Nutrients are sent across your body.

[00:00:34]Your liver and pancreas join the mission.

[00:00:38]Releasing chemicals that help break food down even further.

[00:00:42]Finally, the large intestine removes water and collects waste.

[00:00:46]Every meal triggers a complex system working around the clock.

[00:00:50]Without digestion, your body couldn't turn food into the energy that keeps you alive.
