What do pesticides, chemicals, unsaturated and hydrogenated fats, fluoridated water, microwaved foods, dental fillings, and stress all have in common? They all lead to the depletion of our body’s natural supply of enzymes.

So what are enzymes? Enzymes are the special proteins in our bodies that “do the work” required for all of our internal processes. Life as we know it cannot exist without enzymes. In fact, all living things contain enzymes!

Each of these enzymes has a job to do. And that job may be: Digestion of a certain kind of food, the manufacture of a hormone, or keeping your blood clean and free of toxins. Ultimately, our life, vitality, and health all depend upon an adequate supply of enzymes!

Imagine your body as your physical “home.” In this instance, enzymes are the “construction workers” responsible for all the building, repair and maintenance required to keep you running in tip-top shape, using vitamins and minerals as the building “materials.” In your body, you may have an ample supply of building material but not enough workers, or enzymes, to complete the job. Those building materials will remain unused or wasted until enough workers (enzymes) show up at the job site. Make sense?

Therefore, creating a solid foundation for our “home” is of utmost importance. And it’s good to keep in mind that our bodies are driven by food. Think for a moment about the foods you crave; these cravings are actually a sign of deeper nutritional issues, serving as a “cry” for specific nutrients. Not knowing any better, we, in turn, rush in and give our bodies a “quick fix” via the foods we choose in response to the craving.

The good news is that we can learn to work with our body’s natural abilities for optimum wellness! We can begin to care for our bodies in just the right way by changing some old habits and patterns and creating new ones that sustain us and lead to vibrant health.

Of course, we can take vitamin and mineral supplements to boost our health, but in reality, these vitamins and minerals are only “co-enzymes” and can do nothing for us without the foundation of our body’s enzymes. Because it’s so easy for our body’s natural enzyme supply to be depleted, it’s essential that we not only have the foundation of a healthy diet… but it’s also a smart idea to take plant enzymes regularly so that our natural supply is not exhausted!
