Enzymes and You

Enzymes are the spark of life. Without them, life would not exist. They are the workers that make your body function. although the action of enzymes cannot be seen, it is the driving force behind virtually every biochemical process that occurs in the body. There are hundreds of thousands of enzymes active in every organ, tissue, and fluid, and each has its own function. Enzymes activate our muscles, stimulate our nerves, make our hearts beat, keep us breathing, and even help us think. these complex biochemical substances are also able to convert nutrients from food to strong, healthy bodies.

If you eat food that is steamed, boiled, roasted, broiled, fried, stewed, canned, pesteurized, or even microwaved, you need food enzymes. Enzymes are the most heat sensitive nutrients found in food. When food enzymes are missing, the body is forced to produce all the enzymes necessary for digestion. This puts unwarranted stress on the organs of digestion which must rob enzymes from your immune system to digest your food.
