There are many healthy foods, but these listed here have been singled out as having extraordinary health benefits. One thing all these foods have in common is that they all produce an alkaline condition in the body to varying degrees. This is crucial because keeping your body alkaline is what helps stave off any and all diseases. Diseases start and thrive well in acidic environment and will not start or thrive well in an alkaline environment. While creating an acidic environment in your body through poor diet and over medication could promote certain diseases, more dangerous is that if one does start either because of diet, genetic or environmental reasons, it will have the perfect environment to flourish.
Enzymes are large complex proteins.
Upon entering the stomach all proteins are broken down by acids and digestive chemicals into amino acids which are then absorbed and utilized by the body to make new proteins, provide energy, and repair damaged tissues. We are born with the ability to produce a certain number of enzymes and once we have reached that number, our body can NOT produce any more. It is important to eat at least some of your food raw because the enzymes in food are destroyed when cooked, processed or freeze-dried. Anything eaten out of can has had the enzymes, the most vital part of its nutritive properties removed from that food. Enzymes work with minerals or vitamins but are more important than either them.
