Enzymes The Key to Life
Add comment July 17th, 2009
Enyzmes are not only valuable but important to obtaining optimal health. The benefits of a raw food lifestyle are due to the enzymes in raw foods, (raw fruits, vegetables, nuts & seeds). Enzymes help break down and digest your food. We are born with a capability to produce enough enzymes to sustain life however this is not equivalent to quality of live but simply life itself. When we do not eat enough foods that contain enzymes, the body begins to work to produce the enzymes it needs however it doesn’t come without a price. If your body has to work to create these enzymes it has less energy to divert to mental & physical activites as well as less energy to divert towards other imbalances such as curing infections, ridding of sticky mucous or acidity from the foods you eat that are not RAW. Most people get sleepy after eating a standard cooked meal because the body needs to produce enzymes to metabolize the food ingested, carry nutrients to the cells, carry waste from the cells and to eliminate waste.
Enzymes are found in all plant based foods: fruits, vegetables and nuts & seeds. Enzymes are heat sensitive and are destroyed at temperatures of about 115 degrees. During normal cooking enzymes are destroyed, vitamins & minerals are diminished or destroyed, and pesticides, fungicides & heated fats break down to form toxic compounds. The “getting old feeling” is contributed to reduced enzyme levels.
Quality lasting energy & good health come from Living Foods that nourish the cells. Not from coffee, caffeine, soda, candy or other stimulants. These unnatural sources are harmful to the body and negatively affect the brain functions & thoughts. Most often times your health as well as your skin, face & body reflect the quality of your diet. Once you leave the produce department of the grocery store you have essentially left the “Living Foods” department and entered into the “dead food” world. Dead food equals dead energy. Living Food contain enzymes that supply your body with quality energy.
