Why Are Digestive Enzymes Important? ENZYMES, THE 'LIFE FORCE' OF THE BODY "100 Million Americans Suffer from Digestive Problems, 10 Million are Hospitalized!"
Enzymes are the body's 'Life Force', involved in every metabolic process in the body. They are responsible for all the functions of every organ system in our bodies. Without enzymes and the work they perform, we would be nothing more than a pile of lifeless chemical substances-vitamins, minerals, proteins and water. The following illustration explains the significance of the 'Life Force" that enzymes provide. Many of us have done this experiment in school:
If you take two potatoes and boil one of them in water-then put the potatoes in a glass of fresh room temperature water, which one would sprout and grow? The one that was NOT boiled. The boiled potato would simply rot. The difference between the live (raw) potato and the dead (boiled-cooked) potato is the enzyme activity. Heat kills the enzymes, the 'Life Force' necessary for plants to grow.
Our bodies need enzymes found in fresh, raw food for optimal health. However, most of the food we eat contains NO Enzymes. It is very important to understand that our bodies are provided with a limited 'reserve' of enzymes at birth. This 'reserve', or supply of life generating enzymes, has to last us a lifetime. The faster we use our enzyme supply, the shorter our lives will be. There are three main classes of enzymes in the body-metabolic enzymes, digestive enzymes and food enzymes which are found in raw fresh food. Food we eat cannot be digested without the involvement of enzymes. The body needs enzymes in fresh raw foods to digest the food. Most food eaten today contains NO enzymes because virtually all food eaten is cooked and processed. Heat (118 degrees or higher) destroys the enzymes in fresh food.
Consequently, enzymes are completely destroyed in all foods that are canned, pasteurized, baked, roasted, stewed or fried. Enzymes in raw food actually digest up to 75% of the food itself. How can the body survive on a diet of cooked food that contains no enzymes? It does so by drawing out large quantities of enzymes from the body's own limited supply to aid in the digestion of food. This creates tremendous stress the organs, such as the pancreas, the liver and the spleen. A lifetime diet of cooked food can cause cellular exhaustion in the body, which breaks down the immune system and the body's ability to protect itself from sickness and disease. Changing to a diet consisting of raw food is simply not practical for most people. The most convenient way to correct the enzyme deficiency in our body is by taking a natural, plant based digestive enzyme supplement with each meal.
Essential Enzymes, a digestive enzyme supplement, is a very comprehensive blend of enzymes. These enzymes are required to break down the food we eat into chemical structures small enough to pass through the cell membranes of the digestive tract and into the bloodstream for distribution to the tissues and cells of our body.
Taking Essential Enzymes replaces the missing enzymes in cooked and processed food. This means our body no longer has to use up valuable enzymes from its limited supply. Essential Enzymes should be used with every meal for optimal benefits!
Essential Enzymes will immediately provide the following benefits: Help with weight loss. Raw calories (in uncooked food) are relatively non-stimulating to glands and help to stabilize body weight. Farmers have proved this fact by feeding raw potatoes to hogs. On a raw potato diet, the hogs did not get fat. Cooking the potatoes, however, (which destroyed the enzymes) produced rapid weight gain in the hogs. Eliminate indigestion, heartburn, acid reflux and gas. Reduce constipation and improve elimination. Reduce cholesterol levels. Increase energy levels - the more active enzymes you have in your body, the more energy you will have. Improve glucose management in Diabetes and Hypoglycemia. Improve Immune System function. In addition to ensuring proper digestion, Essential Enzymes provides the following additional benefits:
1. Enzymes act as scavengers in the bloodstream, breaking down cholesterol and fatty deposits and prevents hardening of the arteries and arteriosclerosis.
2. Enzymes prevent unassimilated proteins, yeast cells, carbohydrates and fats from being reabsorbed into the blood stream, causing allergies, skin diseases and other illnesses.
3. High levels of fat in the blood can block the action of insulin, which helps with the absorption of sugar. A lack of enzymes can cause hypoglycemia. Between 10-50 million Americans suffer from hypoglycemia.
4. The body needs smaller amounts of vitamins & minerals when combined with enzymes. Essential Enzymes will improve absorption of vitamins and mineral supplements enabling you to reduce your supplement intake, thereby saving you money.
Essential Enzymes is one of the most potent enzyme formulas available. It contains a full range of enzymes required by the body to completely digest food.
Other enzyme products cannot be compared to Essential Enzymes, and will not produce the same results. |
