How does food digestion work?

Digestion is the process of breaking food into small pieces and starting in your mouth, from the moment ______ you chew what you've eaten (that's why it's important to chew well!). The food then passes through the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. In this way, organs and glands release acids that break the food into even smaller pieces, allowing nutrients to be absorbed by the cells in the organ walls and carried into the body by blood. Finally, there are leftovers, which are not used by the body and turn into poop. The entire digestion of a lunch, for example, can take from 20 hours to a few days!
