Assimilation:
Assimilation is the process in which digested food is absorbed by the “cells of the body”. It is a fundamental part of digestion. After the systematic breakdown of food through physical (mastication) and chemical (enzymatic action), the food particles reach the small intestine where absorption into the ‘bloodstream begins’.
This is followed by the transfer of food to the portal systems of the body where it undergoes chemical changes due to the chemical secretion of the liver and other cells of the body. This increases a molecule’s bio-availability.
