That is a good question! In your stomach, you have very strong hydrochloric acid to assist the digestion. From the third part of duodenum onward, you have alkaline medium to digest the food. Sodium bicarbonate is there in small intestine. You have various enzymes to assist the digestion. You have amylase or ptyalin in your saliva for carbohydrates. You have pepsin in your stomach for digestion of proteins. You have trypsin and chymotrypsin in the intestine to digest the polypeptides from proteins. You have amylase, maltase, lactase, sucrase etc to digest the various types of carbohydrates in the small intestine. You have lipase and bile salts to digest the fats in the small intestine.
