I'm curious, could you elaborate on the process of digesting food and excreting it as waste? Specifically, how long does it typically take for the body to process and eliminate food once it's consumed? Are there any factors that can influence the duration of this process, such as the type of food consumed or the individual's overall health?

During this time, the food is broken down into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by the body.

In the colon, further digestion and absorption of water take place, while undigested food is eliminated.
