消化
The process of food breaking down food into nutrients inside the [[stomach]]. Beginning when the food is in the mouth, then ingested by swallowing down the throat (esophagus), entering the stomach. Digestion normally takes up to 3 or 4 hours to complete. And ends with the food being broken down in smaller bits in the intestines, allowing gases to accumulate along with excrement being passed out of the [[anus]].
