Anti Aging Digestion Enzymes Are Essential For Life
Digestive enzymes are the most essential nutritional requirements that our bodies need to stay alive.
Enzymes break down the nutrients that we eat and reduces them to a size and condition that make them able to be carried, absorbed and used by our bodies. Enzymes are necessary for breathing, swallowing, muscles movement, cell and tissue production, and energy conversion.
Enzymes are responsible for metabolism, which is our cells directing each nutrient to combine and interact with other nutrients to create other chemicals and compounds to build and repair our cells, bones, tissues, and organs.
Enzymes are responsible for constructing, synthesizing, delivering, distributing, and eliminating the substances and chemicals our body requires to live. Without enzymes, metabolism does not happen. Our very lives depend on enzymes and digestion.
Many health issues begin with lack of proper enzymes and digestion.
Without the proper amount of digestion enzymes in our bodies, we are vulnerable to ill health conditions such as respiratory infection, colds, flu, high blood pressure, liver disease, indigestion, heartburn, diabetes, fibromyalgia, candida, migraines, PMS, hyperactivity, anxiety, lack of concentration, depression, weakened immune system, acid reflux, constipation, gas, and many other health concerns.
It was once thought that illness and aging depleted the number of enzymes found in our bodies. We now know that illness and aging are caused by the depletion of enzymes in our bodies. Many researchers now know that the aging process and even death are a result of our enzyme levels being decreased to the point where the very living environment of our bodies can no longer be maintained.
We now know that we lose digestive enzymes through sweat and body waste. As we go age, the organs that are responsible for producing digestive enzymes are not able to efficiently produce the amount we need in the time we need them. We know that cooking and microwaves destroy the enzymes that our food contains when they are raw. Factors such as environmental pollution, overly processed and fast foods, genetically modified foods, and other factors deplete the number of enzymes that we need to live. These factors deplete our enzyme levels stress our digestive system and our immune system, leave us feeling tired, depressed, without energy or interest, and, very possibly, shorten our lives.
Given these factors of aging, processed foods, and cooking, our bodies are not able to produce the enzymes that we need. Therefore it would be wise for us to supplement our diets with enzymes from outside sources such as plants.
If we add an enzyme supplement from external sources to our diet when we eat a meal we will greatly increase the quality and longevity of our lives. Enzyme supplements increase the number of nutrients we absorb from our diet and improve our overall nutrition, decrease or eliminate indigestion and acid reflux, reduce fatigue and increase our energy, strengthen our immune system, and enhances the regeneration of our cells and tissues.
Types of Enzyme Supplements
We can take advantage of enzyme supplements that are blends of enzymes that each have a specific function:
Amylase
Changes complex sugars and carbohydrates into usable glycogen and dextrin.
Bromelain
Breaks down proteins making them available for our bodies energy supply.
Cellulase
An enzyme complex that breaks down cellulose into usable beta-glucose.
Lactase
Converts lactose into galactose and glucose.
Lipase
An enzyme that is vital for the absorption and digestion of nutrients in the intestines and catalyzes triglycerides into fatty acids.
Pancreatin
Hydrolyses fats, converts protein into proteoses, and changes starches into dextrins and usable sugars.
Papain
From the papaya fruit converts proteins to form oligopeptides and amino acids and can digest dead tissue without affecting live tissue.
Pepsin
Breaks down protein into peptides.
Chymotrypsin
Works in our small intestine to hydrolyze the peptide bond of amino acids.
Trypsin
Breaks down the peptide bond of the amino acids arginine.
Lysine
Is important in protein digestion.
With our current concerns about health care for issues such as those caused by obesity, excess weight, high blood pressure, heart health, etc, it would be well for us to remember the extreme importance of nutrition and good digestion and metabolism and that a very significant number of illnesses and diseases start in the intestine and colon. Our realizing the vital importance of digestion enzymes and the role they have in maintaining our very lives as well as preventing some of the serious, sometimes life-threatening, health issues we face will greatly improve the quality and longevity of our lives.
