Digestive Enzymes and Lomentum

Digestive enzymes are proteins in the digestive track that help to break down food so that it can be absorbed by the body. The human body produces 22 different enzymes, they are found in fruits, vegetables, meat and other foods.

Other enzymes are produced from plants and animals and are made into supplements. People can be lacking essential enzymes due to poor diet and other factors. When you are lacking these essential enzymes taking a digestive enzyme supplement can improve your health.

Many people over the age of 30 are unaware they are deficient in enzymes. Deficiencies in enzymes can cause poor digestion and inhibit your body from absorbing the nutrients it requires for good health. With busy lifestyles, many people turn to fast food and prepackaged meals. But these types of foods do not contain natural enzymes like those found in fruits, vegetables and meat.

To produce these missing enzymes your body tries to compensate by redirecting your energy and nutritional resources during digestion. As you age, your body is less capable of using these resources to produce the enzymes it is lacking causing stress on your body. This stress does not let you complete digestion and you are unable to absorb vital nutrients needed to maintain good health.

 

Problems due to lack of enzymes

All the cells in your body entirely replace themselves every 7 years. High quality enzymes help the 300 billion new cells your body produces every day to have the vital nutrients for growth and healing. If you have a serious deficiency in enzymes you will have a weaken immune system, this weakness is directly related to aging. The more enzymes you have in your body the slower you age and more resistant you are to degenerative diseases. When lacking enzymes you may have the following symptoms:

  • acid reflux
  • heartburn
  • bloating, gas and cramping
  • constipation and poor elimination
  • diarrhea

Poor digestion can lead to more serious health problems such as:

  • Diabetes and hypoglycemia
  • High cholesterol
  • Colon problems - colitis, IBS and Crohn's disease
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Over or under optimum weight
  • Severe bloating and pain
  • High blood pressure
  • Circulatory problems

 

Digestive enzyme supplements
