Digestive enzymes assist the body in the breaking down of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, sugars and fibers.
“Hundreds of different kinds of enzymes are needed to properly digest food. Cooking destroys food enzymes, forcing the body to make its own. Over time the body become tire of this extra work, leaving room for possible indigestion.”
Enzymes are required for overall good health and we need to keep them in good standing to serve us in the years to come; especially needed for good digestion—not drinking with meals, so we can help keep them undiluted.
Whenever food is processed or cooked above 118ºF, enzymes are destroyed and they can no longer perform their function, forcing the body to use up its supply.
It is why we need more raw F&V, raw and lightly steamed—still crunchy.
It is therefore important to try and consume enzymes from outside food sources to borrow fewer enzymes from our body’s supply—it is NOT ENDLESS, as we can gather by how many of us suffer from indigestion from time to time. Enzymes should preferably be in a herbal (plant) or food base.
