Enzymes are the workers in your body that carry out every chemical reaction. To have a healthy body you need both workers (enzymes) and building materials. The building materials are proteins (amino acids), minerals, and vitamins. All of these are necessary to build a healthy body. Trying to function without all the necessary enzymes is the reason for most body malfunctions. We inherit an enzyme reserve at birth and this quantity is decreased as time goes by from an enzyme deficient diet. As we become enzyme deficient, we age faster. The more we store up our enzyme reserve, the healthier we'll be.
A great deal of our enzyme energy is wasted haphazardly throughout life. The habit of cooking our food and eating it processed with chemicals; and the use of alcohol, drugs, and junk food all draw out tremendous quantities of enzymes from our limited supply. You may be trying to eat right and exercise, but what if you still feel rundown? Is indigestion, heartburn, or gas a frequent and unwanted companion? Do you have skin or weight problems/ allergies? Foods that lack enzymes and unhealthy lifestyles could be the problems.
Historically the best sources of enzymes were fresh fruits, vegetables, and grains. But even when we do try to eat only fresh foods, did you know that the enzymatic level of food is reduced by long term storage, as well as by pesticides and other toxins in our water, soil, and air? Augmenting your diet with enzyme supplements may be your only answer.
Enzymes taken on an empty stomach will get into the blood and clean it. Enzymes taken with meals will thoroughly digest food. Deficiency diseases can be eliminated or avoided with the proper nutrition taken on a daily basis.
