Nutrition includes all the processes the body uses to obtain energy and building materials from food, including digestion, circulation, respiration, and excretion. There are six major groups of nutrients - carbohydrates, fats, proteins, water, vitamins, and minerals - that our bodies need from food to live. The digestive process breaks down food in three stages - digestion, absorption, and waste elimination - in the digestive system which includes the digestive tube and helper glands.
