Food is anything that is edible/nutritious to humans. It can also be defined with respect to plants as anything plants absorb for growth. Food nourishes and keeps us healthy and alive. There are few classes of food which should be noted, we have:

  • Carbohydrates.
  • Fats.
  • Minerals.
  • Proteins.
  • Vitamins.
  • Water.

Note that, food consisting of all the 6 classes of food is termed a balanced diet. And a diet is simply the kind(s) of food that a person, animal, or community habitually eats at certain times

Digestion is simply the process by which these food substances and diets are broken down into simple absorbable units through the digestive system. The nutrients can now be easily absorbed into the bloodstream and other cells for use or for storage.
