Digestion is the biological process by which the body breaks down food into nutrients that can be absorbed and used for energy, growth, and repair. It involves mechanical actions like chewing and mixing, along with chemical breakdown by enzymes and acids in the stomach and intestines. Understanding digestion is central to fields like nutrition, gastroenterology, and dietetics for addressing digestive health and disorders.
