dc.description.abstract	How are nutrients absorbed into the body? Digestion starts in the mouth when teeth bite off and chew food. Food becomes soft and easy to swallow. Then the esophagus takes food from the throat and pushes it down into the stomach. Next the food moves into the small intestine, where most of the nutrients are absorbed. Then the food travels to the large intestine where water and minerals are absorbed.	eng
