Your Stomach Doesn’t Do Most of the Digesting.
🔍 Fact: Despite its reputation, the stomach only breaks down food for about 1–2 hours and absorbs almost no nutrients.
🍽️ Why it matters: The small intestine does the heavy lifting — absorbing about 90% of nutrients. The stomach’s real job? Chemically prepare food with acid and enzymes for later digestion.
