Six Stages of Nutrition

Our diet is what we eat—nutrition is what our cells and tissues actually receive. This process consists of six separate and distinct stages: diet, digestion, absorption, circulation, assimilation, and elimination. Fully half of the vitally important Six Stages of Nutrition—digestion, absorption, and elimination—take place in the digestive tract. If this system is not in good working order, even the best diet in the world will do you little good.
