Hey there !
The digestive tract processes a multitude of different food components each day through the use of a wide variety of enzymes and digestive juices. Carbohydrates, fats and proteins all pass through the digestive system at a different pace, are broken down into unique components and are absorbed into the body for use as fuel or to repair and build muscles, bones and organs.
Carbohydrates
Carbs begin to digest in the mouth, where enzymes in saliva start breaking complex molecules down into simpler sugars. Chewed-up carbs then pass through the esophagus and stomach with little additional digestion. In the small intestine, they are broken down into the simplest sugar molecules, which are then absorbed through the small intestine walls into the bloodstream and used by the body as fuel or sent for storage in the liver for use at a later time. Fiber, the indigestible cell walls found in carb plant foods such as beans, brown rice and whole wheat, passes through the digestive tract essentially undigested.
Proteins
Protein is found in meat, eggs, dairy products and beans, and is used by the body to build muscle and organs. Protein molecules are quite large. Chewing helps break proteins down into smaller particles for digestion. Chemical protein digestion starts in the stomach, where enzymes start to soften the protein molecules. A number of enzymes, including substances from the pancreas, then break down protein into its component amino acids in the small intestine. Amino acids are absorbed through the wall of the small intestine into the bloodstream and distributed throughout the body to repair injuries and replace dying cells.
