By digestion the nutrients are reduced to the form of a solution. The process is, simply speaking, one of dissolving. The liquid employed as the digestive solvent is water. The different nutrients dissolve in water, mixing with it to form a solution which is then passed into the body proper.
While all of them have water for their most abundant constituent, there are dissolved in the water small amounts of active chemical agents. It is the work of these agents to convert the insoluble nutrients into substances that are soluble in water. The digestive fluids are thus able to act in a double manner on the nutrients—to change them chemically and to dissolve them.
There are a lot of stinks around Port Sandor, though the ventilation system carries most of them off before they can spread out of their own areas. The plant that reprocesses sewage to get organic nutrients for the hydroponic farms, and the plant that digests hydroponic vegetation to make nutrients for the carniculture vats. The carniculture vats themselves aren't any flower gardens.
*Summary.*—The digested nutrients are taken up by the capillaries and the lymph vessels and transferred by two routes to the circulation. In passing from the alimentary canal into the circulation the more important of the foods undergo changes which adapt them to the needs of the body.
The chemical agents which bring about the changes in the nutrients are called enzymes, or digestive ferments. *Foods Classed with Reference to Digestive Changes.*—With reference to the changes which they undergo during digestion, foods may be divided into three classes as follows: 1. Substances already in the liquid state and requiring no digestive action.
For cow feed it would have about three-fourths the amount of digestible nutrients as green alfalfa, but would have an added value on account of its succulency. It would go especially well with alfalfa hay. The Jersey or Thousand-Headed kale is considered the standard for stock or poultry feed. It is always fed fresh and is not made into hay. What Kind of Beet for Stock?
As vital force inevitably declines with age, the quantity and quality of digestive enzymes decreases, then the ability to breakdown and extract soluble nutrients from food is diminished, frequently leading to serious deficiencies. These deficiencies are inevitably misdiagnosed as disease and as aging.
My family has managed to eliminate all salt from our own kitchen except for that in cheese, and we eat cheese rather moderately. Sugar is a high-caloric non-food with enormous liabilities. First, from the viewpoint of the universal formula for health, no form of non-artificial sweetener carries enough nutrients with it to justify the number of calories it contains, not even malt extract.
Those of us who consider ourselves healthy, including young people, are not really healthy, and at the very least would benefit from nutritional supplementation. In fact the odds against most people receiving adequate vitamin and mineral nutrition without supplements are very poor as demonstrated by the following chart. Problem Nutrients in America
By this time, I'd gotten the jeep around the dredger we'd come to the end of the nuclear-power plant buildings and cut off into open country. That is to say, nothing but pillar-buildings two hundred yards apart and piles of bagged mineral nutrients for the hydroponic farms.
