🍕 How Digestion Works! 🍕

Turning food into fuel!

🏭 The Food Factory!

Your body is like a factory that turns food into energy!

Digestion starts in your mouth - you chew food into small pieces and mix it with spit!

Then the food goes on a adventure through your body, getting broken down into tiny pieces your cells can use!
