Sprouts contain them in abundance. By ensuring that no strain is placed on the digestive system, and therefore on the rest of the internal organs, sprouts retard the ageing process. Furthermore, in their case the primary end products of digestion are only water and carbon dioxide. Materials like uric acid, ammoniac salts and cholesterol are produced in minimal quantities. Coming to the ways in which sprouts facilitate the digestive efficiency, it is important to understand the function of enzymes.
Enzymes are a boon for the human body.
If they were not present in the system, out bodies would require a very high temperature for the metabolic changes which are taking place every moment and everyday. It is due to the catalytic action of enzymes that these changes take place at body temperature. Predigested food is food that has already been acted upon by enzymes. Some complex carbohydrates are converted into easily digestible simple sugars by the splitting action of the enzyme diastase. Proteins, too, undergo a change under enzymatic action and thereby produce the essential amino acids, the building blocks of the body.
