Digestive Enzymes
Your body produces digestive enzymes that break down the food you eat into nutrients. These nutrients are then absorbed into your body through the small intestine. We need these enzymes for digestion.
All living things need enzymes in order to maintain life. The body depends upon enzymes to help purify the blood, break down fats, cleanse the colon, maintain proper cholesterol levels and maintain peak energy levels.
It has long been recognized that illness is related to improper diet and inadequate nutrition and that fasting, juicing, and diets rich in herbs and raw foods help restore the body to health.
One of the longest living populations on earth, the Hunz, subsisted primarily on a raw food diet, a diet abundant with enzymes. Enzymes act within different ranges of temperature and pH, depending upon their type and function and are easily destroyed by cooking, including microwave ovens.
Work being done in Europe with raw food diets show that patients with long-standing degenerative diseases are able to make remarkable recoveries, and the National Institute of Health has recently released a study showing that eating smaller meals leads to a longer life. This suggests that our intrinsic enzyme production is better able to take care of smaller dietary loads than a larger intake of food.
When your body lacks these enzymes, it doesn’t digest properly, as a result, your body does not absorb the nutrients it needs.
A lack of enzymes, along with poor digestion can lead to an overgrowth of parasites, food allergies, unbalanced gut bacteria, constipation, indigestion, gas, bloating and other digestive problems.

Digestive enzymes are found in the digestive tracts of animals or humans where they aid in the digestion of food as well as inside cells, especially in their lysosomes. Enzymes are also found in your saliva, which are made from your salivary glands.
What Are Digestive Enzymes
Digestive enzymes are divided into seven categories, them being: lipase (breaking down fat), protease (breaking down proteins), cellulase (breaking down fiber), amylase (breaking down starch), lactase (breaking down dairy), sucrase (breaking down sugars) and maltase (breaking down grain).
