Digestive
Enzyme
Enzymes perform daily activities that are required to keep us alive. They are responsible
for all of the functions of every organ system in the body. Enzymes are found
naturally in foods we eat. They make possible the chemical reactions which
digest our food and break it down to useable, absorbable nutrients. Enzymes are
the life force found in foods and then transferred to our bodies to keep every
system functioning.
Enzymes found naturally in foods are destroyed at temperatures of 118°F and
above. That means that almost any kind of food preparation destroys enzymes.
Anytime you cook, microwave, fry, bake, or grill your foods, you are eating
enzyme-deficient foods. The human body must produce enzymes to facilitate the
biochemical reactions that control the digestive functions of the body. Enzymes
perform a specific function in the body that no other can fulfill. Because
enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 118°F and above, most of the foods we
eat are enzyme-deficient. When the body is depleted of enzymes, resources
needed for digestion are not readily available to accomplish other tasks; such
as warding off disease, delaying the aging process or burning stored body fat.
Without adequate enzymes in the body, eating cooked and processed foods can
lead to frequent sickness, premature aging and increased storage of body fat. A
lack of enzymes can lead to countless other problems such as decreased hormone
production, inhibiting cellular repair and can cause chronic digestive
problems.
Probiotic
Probiotics are living organisms-also known as friendly bacteria or flora-that
colonize and flourish in the healthy intestine. Probiotic are beneficial
bacteria normally present in the digestive tract. These friendly bacteria are
vital to health and to the proper functioning of the intestinal tract. They are
vital for proper digestion and also perform a number of useful functions, such
as preventing overgrowth of yeast and other pathogens, and synthesizing vitamin
K. Taking probiotics helps to return the intestinal flora to a healthier
balance.
As humans we're surrounded by trillions of micro-organism’s every day,
some are good, and some are harmful. The beneficial ones are “Probiotic
micro-organisms,†which can improve the area around our intestinal tracts.
Chances are, you may have considered several solutions to occasional digestive
imbalance, including: changing your diet, exercising, stress reduction and
relaxation.
A simple solution, such as a daily Probiotic supplement can help restore your
natural balance and bring peace to your digestive system. The major benefits of
adding probiotic organisms to your daily diet: Immune system boost, inhibits
disease causing organisms, improved digestion, vitamin synthesis,
detoxification and protection from toxins, prevents diarrhea from various
causes, reduced risk of irritable bowel syndromes, cancer-protective effects,
increased nutrient absorption, improves resistance to allergies, reduces yeast
and other infections.
