ENZYMES

Enzymes are proteins composed of amino acids, the basic building blocks of life. They are arranged in chains that spontaneously fold into three-dimensional structures. These three-dimensional structures confer specificity of function. Whereas all enzymes are proteins, not all proteins are enzymes. Enzymes are involved in nearly all metabolic and physiological processes in the body.

Your body gets enzymes from two sources - those it makes and those it gets from outside the body. Every cell in your body is an enzyme factory. Unfortunately the number of enzymes each cell can produce is limited. In addition, it is possible for some of us to either not be born with or lose the ability to make certain enzymes. As we abuse our bodies with unhealthy lifestyles, it is very likely that deficiencies in enzymes and the loss of the ability to produce them will occur. To prevent a premature shortage of enzymes, you should include rich sources of enzymes in your diet whenever possible. Every bite of raw food provides your body with enzymes. Concentrated vegetable enzyme supplements taken with each meal also add to your body's enzyme supply.

 

ENZYMES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR

Detoxifying and healing the body

Digesting and absorbing food

Immunity - Defending the body

Repair and rebuilding tissue

Reproduction

FACTORS THAT CAN DESTROY OR INHIBIT ENZYMES:
Preservatives Canning/Bottling Freezing Fluoridation Antibiotic drugs Broiling/Grilling Artificial Flavors Hybridization Stress Processed Sugars Waxing Fruit Carbonation Irradiation	Additives Pickling Pasteurization Chlorinating Frying Coffee/Tea Artificial Colors Genetic Engineering Artificial Sweeteners Alcohol Baking Illness	Hydrogenation Milling/Refining Microwaving Cigarettes Boiling Soft Drinks Pesticides Bovine Growth Hormone Environmental Pollution High temperature drying of foods Fever

EARLY SYMPTOMS OF AN ENZYME DEFICIENCY:		ENZYME SHORTAGES = CHRONIC ILLNESS
Heartburn Headaches Chronic Fatigue PMS Belching Allergies Irritability	Bloating Constipation Muscle stiffness Gas Diarrhea Yeast Infections Cancer growth	Cancer Allergies Skin Disorders Osteoporosis Diabetes Obesity Aging Arthritis Heart Disease Asthma

Not enough emphasis is placed on taking enzyme supplements or eating raw foods. If we do not replenish our enzyme level and only consider vitamins and minerals, it is self defeating. The body has to replace enzymes from within itself, stealing enzymes from all parts of the body, which, eventually causes exhaustion, premature aging, and a low energy system.

Your immunity, vitality, and longevity depend on keeping your body's enzymes at optimum levels. We are born with a limited (metabolic) enzyme energy potential, similar to a bank account that has to last a lifetime. The faster we use up this enzyme potential, the shorter our lives are. In order for us to enjoy a long and healthy life, we must make regular deposits to our enzyme bank account.
