Digestive Enzymes, Nutrition and Your Health
Nutrition by Natalie
Information about Digestive Enzymes
Digestive Enzymes are enzymes that specifically work in the digestive system to facilitate the digestion, absorption, and transportation of nutrients. They also work to promote timely elimination of digestive waste products that are not of use to the body. Without enzymes, our cells would not get adequate nutrition and we would not survive.
Enzymes function as catalysts to enhance and dramatically speed up biochemical reactions that occur in every one of our cells. They are only activated in water, so staying hydrated is very important for enzymes to work effectively. Enzymes must be present to ensure proper digestion of nutrients, energy production, metabolism, transportation of fluid to cells, and elimination of toxins among many other functions.
Enzymes exist in foods to help our body’s breakdown what we eat. Raw, uncooked foods are the only foods that contain enzymes. Since the majority of our diets are cooked foods, we significantly limit the enzymes available in our food for digestion, thus putting more stress on our digestive systems. Some supplemental enzymes should be taken with food to enhance digestion and absorption of nutrients, whereas other supplemental enzymes should be taken on an empty stomach to support circulation, decrease inflammation, support our immune systems and combat stress. Imbalances in these factors have been scientifically proven to be ociated with or the cause of numerous diseases.

Are there some raw foods that contain more digestive enzymes than others? If so, can you provide a list?
What percentage of foods we eat should be raw to avoid the need for enzyme supplements?

Another way to …
Another way to include enzymes with every meal is to eat cultured vegetables. They help tremendously in breaking down food. They are also a good source of probiotic bacteria.

Great information …
Great information Nathalie, thank you for sharing it. The symptoms of low stomach acid (lack of enzymes) mimic those of high acidity – MANY people erroneously take acid reducers for relief – which is the exact opposite of what should be done. Please, if you have taken acid reducers for a long period of time – commit to a week using supplemental enzymes (good quality with HC) with each meal – you will experience a transformation.

Drink more water. Ok. I got it.
Even the diet soda screws me up. It’s too acidic.
Eat more organic foods??? As opposed to plastic??
Perhaps she thinks tofu is plastic. It tastes like plastic, but tofu works for me.
(I can’t afford the organic tofu. It’s 1 dollar more. I have to eat the regular tofu. Apparently regular tofu is made out of plastic.)

Whatever the enzymes are that this person eats, they must be the healthy ones.

Trust me. It’s a compliment.

I agree. I like …
I agree. I like the discussion on the stages of digestion.
Certainly transit of digested food is a key point.
Certainly, enzymes may help the pancrease work better.
My concern on the ‘raw foods’ is acetic acid.
Sometimes the apples have been in the store too long. Then it’s 10 times the sugar.
I personally see that the fiber mixed with cinnamon works for me.
Then it goes L sugar and D sugar.
Basically all points are good, but not all raw foods are good for you.
