For life to continue you must have a constant enzyme supply which requires continual replacement of enzymes. Enzymes are found in all living cells including raw foods or those that are cooked at a temperature lower than 118 degrees Fahrenheit. Enzymes begin to perish when the temperature increases beyond 118 degrees. The degree of enzyme destruction is a function of time and temperature. Enzymes are primarily proteins, yet enzymes need amino acids for their normal function.
Hormones are primarily proteins which require interaction with enzymes to regulate bodily processes.
Enzymes aid in transforming proteins into amino acids. Protein does not perform its function unless broken down into amino acids. Amino acids can be considered as an enzyme carrier whose function is to transport enzymes to various functions in the body. Enzymes help extract minerals from food. Enzymes transform minerals into an alkaline detoxifying agent which combines with acid cellular wastes and toxic settlements within the body thus neutralizing them and preparing them for elimination.
