Digestion breaks down large pieces of food into smaller molecules, primarily nutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. This process occurs through mechanical and chemical means, involving enzymes and digestive juices that facilitate the breakdown. Ultimately, these smaller molecules are absorbed by the body to provide energy, support growth, and maintain overall health.
