Detailed explanation-1: -The digestive system breaks down food into nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats and proteins. They can then be absorbed into the bloodstream so the body can use them for energy, growth and repair. Unused materials are discarded as faeces (poo).
Detailed explanation-2: -Your digestive system breaks nutrients into parts small enough for your body to absorb and use for energy, growth, and cell repair.
Detailed explanation-3: -When the stomach digests food, the carbohydrate (sugars and starches) in the food breaks down into another type of sugar, called glucose. The stomach and small intestines absorb the glucose and then release it into the bloodstream.
Detailed explanation-4: -Good nutrition can aid in better digestion by making it easier for the body to absorb essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients.
