1. To convert (food) into simpler chemical compounds that can be absorbed and assimilated by an organism, as by chemical and muscular action in the digestive tract. 2. To think over so as to understand; absorb or assimilate
Digesting is the process where your body breaks down the food that you ate to get the proteins and minerals your body needs to survive. that's why it's not healthy too eat too much sugar and fat because your body takes that out of the food and stores it, causing you to gain weight.
