Enzymes Do More Than Digest Food

Enzymes are the work force of the body.  Enzymes are involved in every process of the body:

• Digest food
• Build muscle, nerves, blood and bones
• Nerve, heart and brain function
• Virtually every activity in the body

Life could not exist without them.

There are three major classes of enzymes:

• metabolic enzymes, which work in blood, tissues and organs;
• food enzymes, derived from raw food;
• digestive enzymes, that break down the food.

One of the characteristics of food enzymes is their inability to withstand heat; consequently, they are completely destroyed in all foods that are canned, pasteurized, baked, roasted, stewed or fried.  Even the microwave oven destroys food enzymes.

Countless studies have shown that, besides contributing to bad digestion, gas, bloating indigestion and heatburn, eating enzyme-depleted foods (cooked, preserved, processed and packaged) affects the entire body adversely.

It has been shown, time after time, that young adults have a higher enzyme reserve than older subjects. The conclusion is - years of eating enzyme-depleted food has reduced the reserve of enzymes.

Dr. Edward Howell, the eminent researcher, speaker, author and the father of Enzyme Nutrition, believes: Enzymes are a true yardstick of vitality. Enzymes offer an important means of calculating the vital energy of an organism. Since enzymes are so important, it only makes sense to make sure we have enough of them.

There are two ways to preserve and replenish our enzyme levels:

1. Stop cooking and start eating all of your food raw or
2. Take an enzyme supplement like NUPRO Bene•Zymes® plant source enzyme complex.
