Our digestive system works in such a way that the first work of digestion starts from the mouth itself like the saliva in our mouth which works to break the starch of the food, so the work of the enzymes present in the saliva is to do the process of food digestion. In our body, there is a door made of muscles on both the ends of the esophagus i.e. food pipe. This door opens when the food reaches there because one door is at the end of the mouth and the other is at the end of the stomach.

When the food passes through the esophagus and reaches the stomach, three enzymes named hydrochloric acid, mucus and pepsin are released in the stomach. 

Need for fiber.

There are two types of intestines in the body, small and large. Whatever is not absorbed in the small intestine reaches the large intestine, this is for fiber. Billions of microbes are present in the large intestine. If we talk about microbes, then these billions of bacteria, which live in our stomach, eat, sleep and in return give a lot of nutrition, if they do not get to eat their favorite food fiber, then they start eating the mucus layer of the stomach, so it is very important to feed them fiber and keep them happy. This is the reason why food should have a lot of fiber.
