Digestion is the process of taking food and nutrients into the body and making them available for use in all of the body's processes. The digestive system breaks down food and extracts the important nutrients, eliminating the excess substances that cannot be used. These nutrients provide energy for the body to grow, function, and make repairs to itself.
