Enzymes called the sparks of life are the work force of the body. Life could not exist without them. All activities of the body are run by metabolic enzymes. To illustrate what are enzymes. It is much like a battery without electrical energy it has lost its power. Although the physical structure remains it does not function. The electrical energy is the life force of the battery. Enzymes help in digestion of foods, breaking down cholesterol and fat deposits, acting as scavengers and assist in overall cleansing process. Eating enzyme deficient diet from cooked and processed foods, our body draws on its reserve from all organs and tissues causing a great depletion of enzymes. During exercise and chronic illness, the rate of tissue breaking down uses up rapidly our enzymes reserve. The lack of enzymes can cause disease so it is of utmost importance to preserve and supply again our enzyme level by adding enzymes to our diet either by supplementation or by eating mostly raw fresh fruits and veggies.
Live foods mostly fresh juices give back to the body a high concentration of bioactive enzymes thus helping restore a diseased body and the mind’s ability to heal. The body has greater amounts of enzymes reserve inherited since birth. This is called Endogenous Enzymes, enzymes that are produced within the body. All foods provided by nature in their raw state have abundance of enzymes, this we call Exogenous Enzymes, enzymes found in raw food. Although we have an overwhelming numbers of enzymes inside our bodies yet each has specific functions. Names of all enzymes end in (ase), as lipase, an enzyme which breakdown fat, protease which breakdown protein, cellulose assists in breaking down cellulose , amylase which breakdown starch and so on…
