Imagine a food factory inside you! It starts in your mouth, where your teeth and saliva break down the food. Then, it travels down a long tube called the esophagus to a big mixer called the stomach. Here, food gets mixed with stomach juices. Next, the food goes into the small intestine where it's broken down even more. Finally, the leftovers go into the large intestine and out of the body! This is your digestive system. Remember, it works best when you eat healthy food!
