Why Are Enzymes So Important?
Enzymes can help your body absorb all the nutrients from your food. Enzymes are especially important if your body has difficulty digesting food, you have gut issues, history of vitamin deficiencies, and seem to be gaining weight while eating a healthy diet. Did you know that your digestive enzymes begin to decline as we age?? Come learn the importance of enzymes and practical ways we can add more enzymes into our diet!
Without enzymes we could not live. Almost every chemical reaction in the body requires enzymes to happen. Without digestive enzymes we couldn’t break up food or extract nutrients from the food to help our cells thrive. The scientist from Transformation Enzymes Dr. Milton Bastidas comments that if he was stranded on an island with one option of supplement, he would choose enzymes. This makes sense when you learn that enzymes help unlock all the powerful nutrients that God’s food has been created with.
Here are a few signs of enzyme deficiencies are
poor health
recurrent illnesses
food intolerances
digestive issues
poor nutrient absorption
high fat diet—but gaining weight
weight gain and obesity
fatigue
anxiety and depression
skin issues
brain fog
Enzymes have an anti-inflammatory condition. Almost every condition that goes to the doctor for help, can be helped by proteolytic enzymes or “Protease” which helps lower inflammation.
God has put enzymes in many food to consumes and he created our body to make enyzmes. With so many people with “poor health” a sign of enzyme deficiency, adding more enzymes into a helpful healing or preventative routine.
How can the right enzymes at the right time bring healing?
The type of enzyme supplement need to contain a broad spectrum or enzyme that will help breakdown different types of food, such as carbs, proteins, fats. These would be considered a digestive enzyme. Another beneficial proteolytic enzyme can be taken apart from food, which will help lower inflammation…it is similar to helpful flush to the system…detoxifying on a cellular level. This another tool to help on your healing journey.
Our food has enzymes: a banana is a good example we can see, the enzymes helps ripen the banana/helps unlock the healing or beneficial properties of the banana.
Bromelain come from pineapple…which is an enzyme that helps with your body fighting allergies alongside the other benefits proteolytic enzymes can produce.
We need to eat a diet that is rich in food that God has designed. To help reverse and prevent health issues, we need to have the food God has made drink lots of water so that enzymes can do their healing work.
Our pancreas produces digestive enzymes—so we can digest our food. Our cells also create metabolic enzymes to make chemical reactions that are happening in our body so that we can be alive and functioning.
Two reasons to be bringing into your diet…
As a digestive aid…if we can release the healing power of the food that we put into our body that can be very beneficial
As a anti-inflammatory aid…lowering toxicity in body, lowering weight—unlocking toxins that are locked in the fat cells, helping have better cognitive function because it works on the whole body ((To help gain back good health))
PERSONALLY:
For me enzymes are a non-negotiable. I supplement so that I will no longer become deficient in specific vitamins and I take enzymes to help my body extract nutrients from my food, help break the food down so it can be absorbed properly, and to help my supplements be more effective as they are being supplied with enzymes to help my body use what good nutrients are found in the supplements.
A biproduct of using the digestive enzymes to help support my body in getting and using the nutrients I put in, I noticed a drop in my weight. I didn’t change my diet, but once I added my digestive enzyme my body actually broke down what I was eating and no longer had to store the leftovers for fat, it was being used the way it was intended!
Usually, I will pack a digestive enzyme with me when I know I will be eating away from home. But, what I have learned is that digestive enzymes can be increased by chewing slowly and thankfulness and gratitude can increase digestive enzymes. The thankful heart or your prayer to God who has given you this food, activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which is also the system that is responsible for releases digestive enzymes.
