Trouble Digesting???

Everybody knows about vitamins and even minerals.
Q. So what is the big deal about Enzymes?
A. Just about everything!

Enzymes are the very foundation of ALL of our body functions.
Enzymes are what make things happen, and happen faster.

WITHOUT ENZYMES...
You can't Breath, Blink or Walk.
Your body cannot break down proteins into essential amino acids
Electrons can't flow and nerve transmissions can't occur.
You wouldn't be able to DIGEST FOOD, smell a flower, see a sunset or taste an apple.
In other words... we can't do anything without enzymes.

The two main ways to get enzymes in your body are supplementation and eating raw food. I believe eating
Raw Foods is important even if you take food enzymes in a supplement form. Enzymes are destroyed at 116 degrees Fahrenheit!!! Take a moment and think ... have you ever
cooked anything below 350 degrees?

"Enzymes are the Key to Life"
Dr. Henry Bieler, M.D., Author of  Digestion: The First Line of Defense Against Disease.

Digestion is also the hardest job the body has. Consider the body needing food to fuel it… not to emotionally soothe it.  To all my LapBander Buddies it can be even more of a trial because side effects of the band can be trouble digesting protein and deficiencies in vitamins and minerals.



FACTS ABOUT ENZYMES

1. The common factor in degenerative diseases is inadequate enzymes.


2. Cancer research shows some enzymes are missing in blood and; urine of cancer victims


3. Without food enzymes, viamins would be useless. Food enzymes extract minerals from our food and assist vitamins in performing their designated function in every chemical action of our bodies


4. As people grow older, the level of their enzymes decreases. This results in decreased energy.


5. People who refuse to use more raw food in their diets should take an enzyme supplement with each meal.


"Correct enzyme supplementation is beneficial and food enzymes are necessary for a person's particular needs".
Dr. Humbart Santillo, Author of Food Enzymes: The Missing Link to Radiant Health
