Your food is starting to break down as soon as you put it in your mouth. Saliva helps in the mouth and gastric acids help in the stomach. Food is churned in the stomach to help liquefy and further break it down for the intestines. When food enters the small intestine it is absorbing the nutrients.

The large intestine pretty much just reabsorbs
