Digestion

Digestion is a strange process which some people may not know about like what happens once your food gets in your intestines.

Your small intestine is around 20 feet long. It removes the nutrients from the mash of food that comes from your stomach. It does this by slowly passing over ridges that extract the nutrients from the sludge.

Your food gets into your stomach through your throat. It doesn’t fall straight down into your stomach. It is pushed down through your throat into your stomach, which digests the food into a mash that is mixed with bile from the liver and other fluids. It is then passed to your small intestine which takes the nutrients from the sludge into the bloodstream where it is brought to wherever it is needed.

This may sound gross, but it is an important thing and without it you would DIE. This process happens to everything you eat.
