The digestive system is an array of organs that work together to process the food you consume into energy for bodily needs. Once you consume the food and liquids, it is broken down into basic parts- carbs, fats, proteins, and vitamins.

These nutrients are mopped up by the bloodstream, which transports them to the cells throughout the body. These nutrients act as a source of energy for the growth and repair of the cells and tissues. Every single unit in your body, be it your hormones, cells, tissues, organs, need nutrients to get its source of energy for processing the work.
