Why are living food enzymes so important?
Enzymes are the workforce behind your body's energy!
Enzymes are the workforce behind your body's energy, they are in fact responsible for building, detoxifying and healing your body. They are the force that allows your body to digest and absorb food; they regulate the thousands of bio-chemical functions that are taking place in your body every second of every day. These functions include your ability to smell and taste food, they regulate your hormones and glands, the building of your organs and tissue, even your thinking and breathing involve enzymes. They are the living key to your immunity, long-lasting health and vitality!
So what are enzymes?
Enzymes are composed of long chains of amino acids; coenzymes from essential vitamins and minerals are needed for enzymes to function correctly. We are all born with a limited (metabolic) enzyme potential, and the faster we use up this potential, the shorter our lives, without enzymes there can be no life. There are 3 main categories of enzymes, which are:
Digestive enzymes - these enzymes are secreted by the pancreas and are involved with the digestion of food. They include proteases that digest protein, lipases that digest fats, and amylases and they digest carbohydrates.
Metabolic enzymes - they are mainly produced by the liver and are involved in all bodily functions.
Food enzymes - enzymes that we ingest from raw "living" food, there is no enzyme activity in cooked "dead" food.
Why is the consumption of live food enzymes so important?
Well, that's quite simple; a person in there 60's or 70's may have 30 to 40 times less enzymes than a young adult. This could lead to premature aging, chronic disease, allergies, skin disorders, obesity and heart disease. Then as we eventually exhaust our enzyme supply we run out of life.
Our enzyme potential directly determines not only the length of our life, but also how effectively we maintain health and or deal with disease. For this reason it is vitally important to supply your body with the finest live nutrients available. If you get sick, the more enzymes your body has available the better because your body will have to work overtime to fight off the disease, this will use huge amounts of your valuable enzymes potential.
Consuming foods that are void of enzymes such as cooked foods, or refined and processed foods will place huge demands on your pancreas to secrete more digestive enzymes. Consuming large amounts of cooked food will force the body to use up much more of its vital energy on producing enzymes for digestion and at the same time it will receive much less energy from this food to produce the important metabolic enzymes that are needed for your main bodily functions.
So eating food in its natural raw state is vital for maintaining good health and longevity; the lack of it in our modern day diet is directly responsible for much of the degenerative disease.
It is important to understand that by consuming healthy nutritious raw foods, with live enzymes, and in smaller portions, will actually help you to live longer as well as healthier. Live food with live enzymes will be much easier digested using fewer digestive enzymes and therefore, leaving more energy for you and your other important bodily functions.
Epidemiological studies on human populations, show that those who eat the most fresh fruits and vegetables that are loaded with natural enzymes have dramatically reduced levels of cancer and other diseases. Whether the high enzyme content of these foods is directly responsible for their anti-cancer effect has not yet been proven, but the evidence is compelling.
So it's quite simple, just eat natural raw foods that are rich in food-enzymes, they naturally predigest the foods in which they are contained. Then as a result, your body can devote more of its enzymes for the important metabolic processes, like killing off disease and repairing cellular damage.
