When you eat a healthy snack, the process of digesting that snack involves breaking down food into smaller molecules through mechanical and chemical processes in the mouth, stomach, and small intestine.
The smaller molecules are then absorbed by the small intestine and transported to the bloodstream. The body then uses these nutrients for energy, growth, and repair.
Insulin is a hormone that helps regulate the amount of glucose in the blood, but it is not directly related to the digestion of healthy snacks.
There is no "discarding nutrients" involved in the digestion process of healthy snacks, as the goal is to absorb and utilize the nutrients for the body's functions.
Movement through the blood is an important part of the digestion process, as the nutrients absorbed from the small intestine are transported via the bloodstream to the cells that need them.
