Episode 3216:

Ben Greenfield breaks down why blending might be your best-kept secret for boosting nutrient absorption, digestion, and energy. Learn how properly blended smoothies can enhance bioavailability, unlock hard-to-digest plant compounds, and help you maximize the health benefits of whole foods without sacrificing convenience.

Quotes to ponder:

"Blending is like pre-digesting your food, your blender becomes your second stomach."

"Some of the most nutrient-dense parts of fruits and vegetables are trapped in fibrous matrices that your teeth and gut can’t easily break down."

"When you blend, you increase the surface area of the food, allowing digestive enzymes to act more efficiently."
