Your Stomach

From the moment food leaves your mouth, the stomach springs into action, churning and mixing it into a soupy blend the body can absorb. The book takes readers inside this organ to follow each step of digestion, showing how acids and enzymes break meals down into nutrients. Bright diagrams and clear photos illustrate the stomach's role and explain what happens when it becomes overly full or upset. By tracing the journey of a single bite, young readers learn why the stomach is essential for keeping us energized and healthy.
