Without enzymes, body functions would be too slow to sustain life. Enzymes are essential, but each person is born with a limited enzyme potential. So maintaining an adequate supply of enzymes is vital in supporting body health. When food enzymes are destroyed by heat, food wilting or other abuse prior to digestion, the body must create new ones to digest food. Therefore, one of the best ways to help maintain a healthy supply of enzymes is to eat raw foods as much as possible.
Digestive problems are one of the most common complaints of modern life.
Many things interfere with proper digestion - stress, poor food choices and overeating. With many additives and processing procedures adulterating the food we eat, vital enzymes necessary for proper food breakdown and absorption are often destroyed. Without these enzymes, even the benefits of a healthy diet cannot fully be reaped, and health concerns may arise. Since enzymes are necessary for the proper utilization of all food categories, Food Enzymes enhance the body's use of all foods - including proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Enzymes promote the body's ability to digest and absorb the nutrients it needs to function optimally.
