What is an enzyme? Ultimate Enzymes? It has been said that enzymes are the protein molecules responsible for certain functions in the body such as digesting food, building bones and other tissues, and aiding in detoxification. A protein molecule is actually the carrier of enzyme activity. In his book, "Food Enzymes", Dr. Humbart Santillo gives the analogy that proteins are like a light bulb and that enzymes are the electrical current that make the light bulb work. How all this ties in with nutrition is that the natural foods that we eat contain their own enzymes and are really healthy and great for your body until you cook, microwave or process them. The food then becomes like the light bulb with no electrical current to make it do its job. Cooking kills all the enzymes in food! Cooking our food at temperatures over 118 degrees, microwaving and processing kills all the enzymes in that food. We can eat all the healthy food and take in all the vitamins and supplements we want, but unless the enzymes are there they are not very effective in maintaining a healthy body. Well cover more of this later, but first lets go over the different types of enzymes, what they are and what they do.
Food enzymes: Food enzymes are found in any kind of natural unprocessed food and are there to aid in the digestion or breakdown of that food. Take an apple for example, if you take a bite out of an apple and set it on the counter for a while, it will start to turn brown and soft. That is the enzyme amalayse in the apple that is causing the apple to breakdown and digest itself. The same thing happens to meat and fats. When an animal dies, the enzyme cathepsin begins the digestion process on the meat and enzyme lipase breaks down the fats. All of these enzymes, amalayse, cathepsin, and lipase occur naturally in the plants and animals that we eat.
Digestive enzymes: These are the enzymes that we are born with, they occur naturally in the body, and their purpose is to aid the food enzymes in digestion. The most commonly known digestive enzymes are secreted from the pancreas into the stomach and small intestine. They are protease, which breaks down proteins, amalayse for breaking down carbohydrates, lipase for the breakdown of fats, and cellulase for fiber.
Metabolic enzymes: They are responsible for the rebuilding of the body. Every organ, every bone, every hair is rejuvenated or replaced and its all done by metabolic enzymes. Every function of the body depends on these enzymes as well as breathing, moving your limbs, and even thinking takes metabolic enzymes. As mentioned above, the body is born with its own store of digestive enzymes. Another way to think of it is like having your own bank account of enzymes. By putting cooked, microwaved or processed foods (foods with no live enzymes left) into your body, your body is then forced to draw on its own account of enzymes, metabolic and digestive, to do the job. Almost all-degenerative diseases are nutritionally related and when we know about enzymes, it is hard to see why. Eventually we deplete our account and the body has to completely rely on itself, pulling from the enzyme and immune system to digest food instead of rebuilding the body and fighting illness. Many of todays food allergies stem from the lack of certain enzymes. Joint pain and gout come from undigested proteins; fats and minerals that form uric acid crystals that in turn get caught in joints. Yeast and fungal growth can start with undigested foods in the blood stream and are compounded by the white flour and sugars we eat which feed the yeast and fungus. Extreme fatigue may be caused by an inability to digest proteins and fats, which cause the blood cells to clump together and not circulate like they should. When the blood is clumped it can not carry as much oxygen and can result in fatigue and slow and muddled thinking. The white blood cells have a difficult time moving around and getting where they need to be when theyre caught in the sluggish, clumped blood as well. These are just a few of the many examples of what can and does happen to our bodies as a direct result of what we ingest. This may give you the idea that you need to eat all your food raw and that is not necessarily true. Another consideration we have to take is the environment that we live in. It is not what is used to be with all the population that is so prevalent and with soil deprivation, our foods are only a fraction as nutritious as they might have been a century ago. It is also completely unsafe (not to mention unappealing) to eat raw meat. There are too many deadly viruses in raw meat so please dont do that! And, dont be discouraged. Through all the technology out there today we have at least found a way to put back what we have taken away. Just by taking enzymes with the meals that we eat can start replenishing our already taxed, and in some cases, depleted, enzyme accounts. Continue to eat healthy foods, and eat raw fruits and vegetables as much as possible that provide your light bulb. Then when you take your enzyme supplements with each meal you will give the bulb the power it needs to do the job to give off light and energy. Purpose of "The Health Nuts" as found under company information on main web site:
If you truly want to improve your health... youve found the right company. At "The Health Nuts" we sincerely do care about your health. We hope you have the time to take a closer look at our products and read as much as you can about our digestive enzymes. These digestive enzymes are so important when it comes to acquiring a properly functioning human body because: proper digestion makes living healthy possible. Important points are made in many places on this site, but the 50 enzyme Q&A answer many of your questions. Examples are below: 47. What are some of the physical conditions associated with enzyme deficiencies? Here are some conditions associated with the decreased levels of each individual enzyme: Protease (digests proteins): anxiety, low blood sugar, kidney problems, water retention; depressed immunity, bacterial and viral infections, cancer, appendicitis, bone problems such as: osteoporosis, arthritis, and bone spurs. Amylase (digests carbohydrates): skin problems (rashes, hives, herpes, canker sores), liver and gallbladder disease. Lipase (digests fats): high cholesterol, obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular problems, high blood pressure, chronic fatigue, spastic colon, and dizziness. Cellulase (digests fiber): gas, bloating, acute food allergies, facial pain or paralysis, candidiasis (yeast infections). Sucrase (digests sugars): lung problems, asthma, bronchitis, seizures, hyperactivity, mood swings, insomnia, depression, chronic diarrhea, and dizziness.
50. How can I build a strong healthy body? Continue to supplement with vitamins, ionic minerals and any additional nutrients you believe are very good building materials. When you add digestive enzymes to your supplementation, your vitamins will work better, the ionic minerals will work better and youll get a lot more out of the nutrients youre taking. Enzymes are just as important as vitamins, minerals or any other nutrient, because enzymes are the workforce and life-force of the human body. Any plan designed to achieve the best possible health... must include a great digestive enzyme to be successful!
