How Do Enzymes Work
How do enzymes work? You need them to help digestion, and for proper functioning of the body, they are essential for absorbing and digesting food and are necessary for life.
What are enzymes? The body produces digestive and metabolic enzymes when needed, and stores surplus enzymes in the body until they are needed as fuel for the brain.
They turn the food you eat into energy, you can’t see them, yet you know they are working by your blood and immune system.
All cells need them to function and survive, without them you cannot breathe, swallow, eat or drink, basically you could not digest your food.
Your lifestyle choices are depleting your enzymes, such as; fast food, poor dietary habits, fat and sugars. These all require massive amounts of enzymes to help digest the foods. Add to that stress which kills and damages cells, and results in the enzymes having to work overtime to help replace and rebuild them.
The toxic environment we live in is a huge factor also, as this causes cellular damage, which requires the enzymes ongoing help to maintain a healthy immune system. If they are not replenished, the body has a hard time doing the things it is meant to do, to help keep you healthy and full of energy.
Ultimately your life may even be shortened.
Rather than complaining you are getting too old for something you once had all the energy to do, look at it this way, are your enzymes low and do they need topping up!
This is wonderful news, because now you can have a much longer life span, and enjoy continued energy. Understanding how they need to be replenished so you are not depleting them, can result in giving you back something you thought was about ‘getting older’. Now you can turn this around to getting younger, and of course looking younger.
There are a number of different enzymes in your gut and each of them has a particular task to do. Your body naturally produces two types; digestive and metabolic. Digestive enzymes help to break down all the food you eat, so it can be absorbed by the body. Metabolic enzymes help run all the systems of the body, from respiratory system to the nervous system.
Types of Enzymes; mylase, cellulase, lactase, maltase, protease, sucrase and lipase.
They exist in raw food, therefore the cooking and processing of food destroys its enzymes. Of course, some foods need to be cooked, can you imagine eating raw meat, fish or how about uncooked rice?
Continually eating cooked foods will destroy the best digestive enzymes.
Many of the health problems you may suffer from are;
- heartburn
- indigestion
- bloating
- chronic fatigue
- heart disease
- high cholesterol
- intestinal & colon problems
- constipation or chronic constipation
You don’t want to have to give up your cooked rice, etc, just include plenty of raw foods each day, like fruit, carrotts and celery together make a great snack. You can also take an enzyme supplement, this of course is not a licence to indulge in the ‘wrong’ foods.
Your aim is to strengthen your best digestive enzymes and improve digestive function, so you can improve any health issues.
How do enzymes work? Well, they help the body perform lots of tasks and improve health.
