In the previous articles, we discussed the importance of enzymes in our bodies that do the work required for all life processes. The three types of enzymes are: 1) metabolic enzymes, 2) pancreatic enzymes, and 3) plant enzymes.

Research has shown that low enzyme levels can lead to illness. In fact, eighty percent of our body’s energy is expended by the digestive process. And if you are run down, under stress, eating a less than ideal diet, or dealing with major life changes then enormous quantities of extra enzymes are required by your body.

It is known that all disease has a nutritional beginning, and a lack of sufficient enzymes plays a role in that process. In the last article, we said that in order to stay on top of our health, it’s important to supplement our diets with plant enzymes; to maximize our digestion, absorption, and assimilation of nutrients in the food we eat. Our entire system functions through enzymatic action.

And as we age, we slowly begin to lose the ability to produce an adequate number of enzymes on our own. You may not even notice the gradual progression of your energy and vitality slipping away. Until one day you find yourself about to engage in your favorite activity (gardening, tennis, biking)… and all of a sudden it has become too much work.

So how do I slow down this aging process, you ask?

Step One:
A healthy, nutrient-rich diet. This includes foods such as organically-grown vegetables and fruits, grass-fed beef and raw milk products. And once you’ve laid that foundation…

Step Two:
Enzyme supplementation. Did you know that you can eat all the healthy food you want, and even take the very best vitamin and mineral supplements, but you’ve just wasted your money if you can’t break it all down and get it to the appropriate cells? See, vitamins and minerals are merely “co-enzymes,” which means that they require enzyme action to even do their work. If you don’t supplement with enzymes, your money and effort toward a healthy diet becomes wasted.

It’s really pretty simple.
