When you eat, saliva (spit) has enzymes (proteins that increase the rate of chemical reactions) that start breaking down your food into smaller compounds! After the food has mixed with your saliva in your mouth, it goes down your esophagus, and it continues to break down even more- eventually it reaches your stomach, and its acids, again, break it down. After the stomach, it travels through the large and small intestine, where the food's nutrients are absorbed. After your body has gotten what it can out of your food, the waste exits the body!
