Digestive Enzymes
• When we get older our stores of enzymes will begin to deplete. When this happens we do not have enough to do things like digest our foods. What’s more, there will be certain types of foods that will be even harder to digest like dairy, fat, starches, sugars, and proteins. Furthermore, while there are some foods that will produce their own enzymes they sometimes will not if not cooked, processed, or grown properly. In addition to that, microwaves aid in the depletion of enzymes in food as well as nutrition. But perhaps the most concerning reason why we need enzymes like these is the fact hat because such things as carbohydrates and proteins are even harder to digest, these can lead to many diseases.
• When you have undigested food in your body it can have a profound effect on your immune systems response which can lead to inflammation as well as a problematic immune system. This happens from your immune system seeing your undigested particles as something bad. The result of this would then be your body’s immune system attacking these bad particles and causing an autoimmune disease.
Why Systemic Enzymes are needed
• Because most every part of your body needs enzymes, the lack of them can make it harder for your body to fix itself. From breathing to circulation, enzymes are very important. You even need these enzymes to do such things as get y our body to move nutrients to places that they are needed as well as take away the waste products that your body produces. Here are a few other needs.
o Balance your cholesterol and triglycerides
o Feed your brain
o Build muscle
o Keep your blood, tissues, and organs under control
o Keeps your heart beating correctly
o Helps ensure that your muscles will contract and relax as needed
o Supports the growth and repair of your cells
• These types of enzymes also go towards breaking down and keeping at bay the build up of CIC’s which are Circluating Immune Complexes. These CIC’s are actually bunches of immune cells which work hard to attack particles of food as well as our own tissues. If you have too many of these you will find that you will get inflammation and even perhaps an autoimmune disease.
Now can you see why these enzymes are so needed in our every day health regiments? You will find that within weeks of taking extra enzymes you will feel a whole lot better. Just check with your doctor to see which kind of enzyme is needed. Furthermore, as your doctor will tell you, it is important even to take these enzymes with certain herbal or natural supplements in order to help break them down in your body.
