From Tasting to Digesting

From Tasting to Digesting
You’ll begin by discovering how your tongue’s taste buds detect sweet, salty, sour, and bitter flavors.
You’ll observe how saliva mixes with food, starting digestion the moment you take a bite.
Want to know where food goes next? You’ll follow its path through the esophagus into the stomach.
You’ll explore how stomach juices and enzymes break food into smaller parts ready for absorption.
Travel with your food into the small intestine, where nutrients are absorbed, and then to the large intestine, where water is reclaimed.
You’ll connect each organ’s job to the energy you feel after a healthy meal.
Sharpen your observation and boost your health literacy by tracking how different foods fuel your body.
Perfect for diagram labeling, hands-on demos (like “cracker-on-the-tongue” tests), and reflection questions about balanced diets.
Get ready to become a digestion detective—because understanding the journey from tasting to digesting helps you make smarter, healthier food choices every day!
