Yes, but if you don't properly chew your food as most people don't because they rush then you miss nutrients you would have gotten.
For instance, Chia seeds. Supposed to be FABULOUS for you. I put them on my salad and whatever, but how many of those little seeds are not broken open by my teeth and just swallowed making it hard for my body to get the nutrients, or just not getting it at all and passing it when you go.
When it's pulverized your body can easily get what it needs and get rid of the rest. Digestion is faster, easier and you get every bit of vitamins out of that food that you possibly can. It makes complete sense to me. And that's saying something lol.
Haven't you ever thrown up and seen chunks of food in there? It's harder for your body to get through digesting that because it has to break it all down taking longer, making you more sluggish and tired.
