Absorption is
the uptake of nutrients from the gastrointestinal tract into the blood.
On the one hand Dr Greger has explained the benefits of a small amount of fat to help increase
the uptake of nutrients from veggies (and I presume fruit too).
They are so slow on
the uptake of nutrients from their environment that they barely classify as alive.

The researchers speculate a reason could be the way Tuber aestivum
uptakes nutrients from the soil compared to other types
of mushrooms.
Isolation and characterization
of N2 - fixing bacteria
from giant reed and switchgrass for plant growth promotion and
nutrient uptake — Jia Xu — Journal
of Basic Microbiology
However, there is strong evidence showing that fungi produce a large diversity
of enzymes and chelating compounds that allow them to capture
nutrients from the soil that are not normally accessible to plants (chelating compounds bind metals into different forms in the soil to prevent their interference with
uptake of other
nutrients).
Food types and timing Much
of what was said above in the segment on digestion still holds true - it's clear
from the fundamentals
of human digestion that meal timing is vastly overrated when it comes to overall
nutrient uptake and body mass loss or gain.
Villi are responsible for the
uptake of vital
nutrients from food, and for patients with celiac disease, they can also become a source
of agonizing pain.
The many factors in our modern lifestyle that block the complicated
uptake pathways
of this important
nutrient —
from nutrient deficiencies to exposure to toxins to factors in processed foods that cause reduced stomach acid, autoimmune disease and enzyme disruption — make it difficult to obtain sufficient quantities
from our normal diet; and since vitamin B12 in supplements is produced in exactly the same way as B12 in nature, that is, by bacterial fermentation, the danger
of high doses in most cases is negligible.
Impairment
of the highly specific
nutrient uptake processes, or compromised GI barrier function (as in «leaky gut syndrome») can result
from a number
of causes including: low gastric acid production, chronic maldigestion, food allergen impact on bowel absorptive surfaces, bacterial overgrowth or imbalances (dysbiosis); pathogenic bacteria, yeast or parasites and related toxic irritants, and the use
of NSAID's and antibiotics.

Other techniques, such as planting cover crops and no - till soil management, can further increase CO2
uptake and reduce energy use.25, 26 Use
of agricultural best management practices can also improve water quality by reducing the loss
of sediments and
nutrients from farm fields.
Horticulturalists usually raise CO2 levels for plants during the hours
of light, when
uptake diminishes hormonal side effects, and their plants enjoy so many protections
from stress as can be engineered, and so much addition
of nutrient too in observance
of Liebig's Law
of the Minimum as is prudent.
Although eutrophication is the major concern related to these inputs, the pH
of coastal waters is also influenced through the enhanced CO2
uptake from primary production and CO2 release
from respiration associated with increased
nutrient inputs.
Plants must lose some water as the loss
of water is part
of the energy driving
uptake of water and dissolved
nutrients from soil.
