Enzymes Are Needed





Digestive Enzymes

Anytime you cook food, you obliterate the enzymes found in that food. Raw food contains the enzymes that it needs to be totally broken down (digested) into nutrients. Consider example this: an apple falls from a tree and becomes bruised. This starts a procedure where the apple breaks down and finally digests itself, because the enzymes are doing their job. Take a second apple off the tree and eat it. It contains all the enzymes it desires to digest itself; all you need to do is chew the apple carefully enough to break down the cell walls and free the enzymes.

Take a few additional apples and make apple pie with them. Slice them up, add several sugar and spices, put them in a crust and bake it in the oven. You have just uncovered those temperature-sensitive enzymes to a temperature that will obliterate them completely. The amazing apple pie now has no enzymes, which means you body has to produce all the enzymes needed to digest the pie. The added sugar will raise the stress put on your digestive system.

If you bake, broil, steam, can, boil, microwave, pasteurize, genetically alter or development food, you destroy the enzymes initially found in that food. Where can you get the enzymes that your body needs to correctly digest your food?

Digestive enzyme supplements can help your body to correctly digest your enzyme-deficient food. Enzymes approach from living sources, namely animals and plants. What are the differences between the two sources? The largest difference is that only plant enzymes have the ability to predigest food; animal enzymes do not. Predigestion is a key part to healthy digestion. When you ate that raw apple, it supplied it’s possess enzymes to aid in digestion. Those food enzymes began digesting the food exact away. Supplemental plant enzymes provided with a meal work in agreement with your body's own enzymes to allow your body to predigest your food.
