Why does food stays in the organs so long?

Food stays in the organs for a relatively long time as it travels through the digestive system, where it is broken down and absorbed. The process of digestion takes time as the food moves through the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine, where nutrients are extracted and waste is processed. Efficient digestion is important for the body to extract the necessary nutrients from food.


How long does it take for energy from food to get into the bloodstream?

That would depend on the type of food. If the food is complex then it has to be digested and broken down into molecules that can be absorbed across the intestinal lining. This will take time and the process would be gradual (lasting hours). However, if the food was pure glucose no digestion would be needed and the molecule would be available in the blood in a few minutes.
