THE IMPORTANCE OF ENZYMES
By: Tia Young

Enzymes are so vital that the body cannot function without them. Not only are they needed to digest food and assimilate nutrients, they are essential for breathing, growth, reproduction, cell metabolism, immune response, blood sugar regulation, sense perception, hormone regulation, and all other functions of the human body. Some enzymes are produced in the body, while others are obtained by a plant source, and are abundant in fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains. Many health conditions can occur because of enzyme deficiencies.
Listed below are the four basic enzymes and the health conditions associated with their deficiencies:
Protease (digests proteins): Anxiety, low blood sugar, kidney issues, water retention, depressed immunity, bacterial and viral infections, cancer, appendicitis, and bone issues
Amylase (digests nonfiber carbohydrates): Skin rashes, hives, herpes, canker sores, asthma, bronchitis, and liver or gallbladder disease
Lipase (digests fats): High cholesterol, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic fatigue, spastic colon, and dizziness
Cellulase (digests fiber): Gas and bloating, acute food allergies, facial pain, candidiasis (bowel and vaginal yeast infection)
Although enzymes are extremely important, many of us are not getting these vital enzymes from the food we eat for the following reasons: pesticides and chemicals, genetic modification of food, pasteurization, cooking at high temperature, microwaving, fluoridated water, heavy metals -- and of course, because of not chewing food thoroughly.
You can increase the amount of enzymes you get from food by thoroughly chewing lots of “organic” fresh fruit, raw or lightly steamed vegetables and raw nuts (be sure to soak each portion of raw almonds overnight to activate enzymes). It is also beneficial to take an enzyme supplement, such as Multizyme, to support the proper breakdown of food and assist all other biochemical activity in the body. Please ask your therapist for more information. Take care and stay well.
