THE SMALL INTESTINE

The nutrients that are so essential to your brain and the rest of your body come by way of the food you put into your mouth every day. Once food has been partially digested in the stomach, it makes its way to the small intestine, which is a coiled tube more than twenty feet long. In the small intestine, food is broken down even further, with help from digestive juices supplied by your pancreas and liver. Much of this is done with a strong acidlike chemical called bile. What remains after this breakdown is a watery, liquid full of various nutrients such as sugars and salts, along with fats, vitamins, minerals, and other substances. This liquid is the raw fuel that your body needs.
