I WONDER - How Much Food Can The Stomach Hold?

The video explains that an empty stomach is the size of a fist but can expand to hold up to 4 liters of food. This expansion is crucial as it allows the stomach to store food for six to eight hours before it moves to the small intestine. Understanding the stomach's capacity and digestion duration highlights the importance of its ability to store food.
