Episode 24: Digestion – A Critical Part Of Health We Tend To Ignore

ByAcademy of Culinary Nutrition Last updated onMay 5, 2025 Reading Time: 3 minutes
digestion

It seems simple: you eat food, and then you digest and break down the nutrients to use in your body. But this simple process isn’t always so simple! Today is the day we’re talking digestion.

It might sound basic but it might be our most important topic yet! Yes, choosing the right foods for you are important, but digesting and assimilating the nutrients from our food is what matters. This is a very basic yet critical topic and we have no doubt it’s going to change the way you think about what and, even more so, how you’re eating.
