The Cave Part 6
If you have ever heard a tale about yourself that you cannot remember and doubtless think is made up, you will know how I felt when Tharkin related all that the eagle had seen of me before my memories were scattered. Of far distances and traveling companions that I did not recall, camping out under the stars and making our way to the mountains with deliberate purpose. The great bird had lost contact with my party once we entered the forests, and the seven other members were not seen again by him or his brethren since.

How Black Pepper and Olive Oil Boost Vitamin Absorption Naturally
Adding black pepper or dressings (such as oil and vinegar) to your food may help you absorb more vitamins and minerals. Scientists believe this can increase the nutritional value of food. Black pepper has been a valuable spice for thousands of years because it gives food a distinctive flavor. The black pepper plant originally came from India, where it has been cultivated for more than 3,500 years. It became one of the most valuable commodities of the ancient world. Today, most of us sprinkle it over our meals for flavor without thinking much about it. However, adding black pepper to your food can do much more than enhance taste. It can increase the amount of nutrients you get from your meals. Black pepper contains a chemical that helps vitamins and other nutrients be more easily absorbed into the bloodstream. It has also been observed that tiny fat droplets found in milk and olive oil can improve the body’s access to nutrients. Scientists are now trying to use these effects to develop new types of fortified foods and to help people who struggle to absorb the nutrients they need to stay healthy. Despite the availability of highly nutritious foods, we still face a problem: our bodies can lose vitamins and minerals as they pass through the digestive system. Take sweet corn, for example. Corn kernels are undoubtedly rich in nutrients—they are full of fiber, protein, vitamins, and micronutrients such as potassium. However, the outer layer of the kernels is difficult for our bodies to break down, especially if we do not chew them thoroughly. David Julian McClements, a professor of food sciences at the University of Massachusetts in the United States, says: “When you eat corn, it often passes through your body undigested, with all the nutrients still trapped inside.” However, chewing corn properly releases the nutrient-rich pulp inside so it can be digested.
