Discover the fascinating journey of an apple as it moves through your digestive system. From the moment it enters your mouth and is chewed into smaller pieces by your teeth, to the mixing with saliva, and swallowing, the food travels down the food pipe to the stomach. In the stomach, it mingles with digestive juices and breaks down into tiny nutrients. The small intestine absorbs the good bits like healthy sugars and fats, while the large intestine collects waste. Finally, the leftover waste is eliminated from the body.
