"Nutrition is the process that provides energy for the body and helps it maintain structure and function. Once food is ingested it is broken down into small components and digestion begins in the mouth and continues in the stomach and intestines. The digested nutrients are then absorbed from the intestines into the bloodstream carried to the liver and prepared for immediate use or storage for future use. Alcohol ingestion inhibits the breakdown of nutrients into usable molecules by decreasing secretion of digestive enzymes from the pancreas."More papers on Nutrition:
