Not every atom in your body was consumed originally as food, or even drunk as water; some atoms (particularly oxygen atoms) are inhaled, and are absorbed into the blood through the lungs, and become a part of the body as they are metabolized. Nonetheless, most of the atoms in your body were consumed as food.

What happens to atoms of hydrogen and oxygen when your body first uses food?
