Although many people use the terms interchangeably, in fact nutrition is NOT diet.

• Diet is what you eat
• Digestion is what your body breaks down into useable components
• Absorption is what passes through the intestinal wall into your bloodstream
• Utilization is what your body uses at a cellular level. This is nutrition.

Nutrition is what your body utilizes at the cellular level. So, if your food or supplements don't break down into the basic nutrients - glucose, amino acids, essential oils, vitamins and minerals - or don't make it into the bloodstream, then it doesn't matter how much you put in your mouth, you'll still be undernourished and deficient in nutrients.

And if your digestion is not functioning at its best, much of your food can end up in your colon to decay, produce toxins and provide a breeding ground for harmful bacteria that can further reduce your intestines' ability to absorb life-giving nutrients. This is why most health professionals believe that many diseases begin in the colon. So your first concern should be to address and correct a sluggish digestive tract.
