A process of absorption of vitamins, minerals, and other chemicals from food

Real World Example

Imagine trying to find and download the right apps from a crowded app store on your smartphone. Just like you sift through various categories and reviews to choose the most beneficial apps for your needs, your body meticulously selects and absorbs the necessary vitamins, minerals, and chemicals from the food you consume. This process of assimilation is akin to downloading and installing apps; your body identifies the essential nutrients it needs from the vast array of consumed food and ensures they are effectively integrated into your system, much like how your phone optimizes and personalizes the apps for the best user experience.
