Food is an important part of a balanced diet.
— Fran Lebowitz
THE LIVER, STOMACH, AND INTESTINES are part of the body’s gastrointestinal (GI) system. This system gets useful nutrients from food to help the body grow and function well and perform different jobs. Some areas mix and store food, some help in chemical breakdown, and others absorb nutrients and store waste materials.
