Nutrient Absorption

There is a saying: You are what you eat. However, that’s not exactly true. You are what you absorb.

One of the main reasons people get sick is that they’re eating plenty of food, but they’re not absorbing nutrients well. This can be because the food hasn’t been cooked enough (it’s totally raw and hard to digest) or the opposite—it’s been heavily processed in a factory and the nutrients have been sapped out. It can also be because your body has been weakened over time and you lack the digestive enzymes and acids to break down your food into easy-to-absorb rations.

This is why I encourage my clients to consume a mixture of juice plus food that’s been cooked long and low. In terms of nutrient absorption, these are your best options. The supplements that we’ll discuss will also help you better digest and absorb invaluable nutrients from your foods and juices.

Juicing removes all of the fiber from fruits and veggies while leaving the nutrients intact. When we drink juice, nutrients travel through the body through osmosis, get absorbed into the system quickly, and are utilized by the mitochondria in all the cells, tissues, bones, and all parts of the body. Lots of nutrient absorption, very little waste.

And then there’s the long and low cooking method, which we talked about before.

With the long and low cooking method, we use heat to break down the fibers in the food for maximum nutrient absorption. The food is almost “pre-digested” with the heat.

When we eat this food, it is almost like eating baby food. The food is cooked for a long period of time. Some people refer to it as mushy. I tend to refer to it as stewed—decadently stewed, so that it melts in your mouth with every single bite.
