What happens when we eat?1. Chew our food and break down in
small chunks2. We swallow and the food passes
through the esophagus 3. Stomach acids/juices turn the food
into a thick milkshake like substance
4. Goes into our intestines where it breaks down into nutrients
5. The nutrients are then absorbed into our blood
