Enzymes are vital to our health.
They are involved in every process of the body.
They digest our food break it down, carry it through the intestine walls
and into the blood stream, transport it to the muscles, cells, nerves,
tissues and glands of the body, and then facilitate it's conversion
into new tissue and new cells.
Enzymes also break down foreign objects and dispose of decaying matter,
they repair tissue and cellular damage, they assist in storing sugar in
the liver and muscles. They help to remove waste products through
excretion and they aid in the elimination of carbon dioxide from the lungs.
The faster our enzyme stores become depleted, the faster we age,
and the more susceptible to disease we become. On the other hand,
the more we replenish our enzyme reserves, the healthier we become.
Therefore, the important things to know about enzymes are:
their source, how to get them into your body; and that
without them, life cannot exist.
Although one can live for many years on a cooked food diet,
eventually this constant demand will cause an enzyme depletion.
This lays the foundation for a weak immune system, and ultimately disease.
Eating too much cooked food requires the pancreas to work much harder
in order to produce adequate enzymes for digestion.
Consequently, it becomes hypertrophied (enlarged).
Food processing, refining, cooking, and microwaving, are causing
dramatic changes in the food we eat. They have rendered the majority
of our foods 'enzyme-dead', causing imbalances in our organs,
and acting as a predisposing cause of disease.
At birth, we inherit an innate enzyme reserve, but throughout our lives,
it is gradually decreased. This is the result, not just of eating
an enzyme-deficient diet, but of the inevitable process of ageing.
Young adults have a much higher enzyme reserve in their tissues
than older people; they are also much more efficient at utilising
the few enzymes they receive from their diets. Indeed, studies show
that 70-year-old people have less than half the enzymes of 20-year-olds.
This is one of the primary reasons that older people tend to succumb
to disease more easily and frequently than their younger counterparts,
which brings us to the crux of good health - a strong immune system.
