| How Is Food Broken Down? |
 |
|
Through the process of digestion, your body breaks the food down into the basic blocks of life, and than rebuilds them by incorporating them into your body. Just like if you were to take apart a Lego dinosaur so that you could use the blocks to build your castle. Your body is constantly breaking food down, and then using the pieces to build, repair, and grow your body. |
There are many parts or organs utilized by your digestive system. The job of each of these organs is to break food down into smaller pieces or smaller blocks, so that by the time that this food reaches the cells of your body, they are nothing more than tiny molecules.

Lets consider a delicious hot dog for a moment. On a warm afternoon, nothing is more appetizing than a roasted hot dog. Placed in a soft bun, with ketchup and mustard, this treat is almost irresistible. Grumble… there goes your stomach again.
