How Does Our Body Use Food For Nutrients
When a person eats food, the process of how the body gets its nutrients is called digestion. This breaks food down into its respective nutrients.
Carbohydrates get broken down into single units of sugars, protein into amino acids and fats into fatty acids. This process of receiving nutrients actually starts when you chew the food. Then the food travels down into the stomach through the esophagus where it is liquefied by stomach acids. When the food reaches your small intestines, this is where the nutrient harvesting begins.

Brussel Sprouts Nutrition
I have always thought that brussel sprouts resemble miniature cabbages. True enough, these nutritious veggies offer the same – if not more – than the nutrient content of cabbages.

Does Food Lose Nutrients Over Time
The answer to this question depends on the type of food.
One example is a drink product that claims to have Vitamin C in it. The manufacturer of this drink has to put an extra amount of that vitamin in the product because some of the vitamins will deteriorate over a period of time. This depends on the temperature of the storage of the product. The higher the temperature or the longer the storage time, the more of the vitamin will end up deteriorating.
