I have had some of my clients ask if taking Enzymes were necessary to ones diet and health,,My answer would be a firm "YES".
Here is some information I have gathered to help us and our clients see the need to take in Enzymes for our health.

Dr.Edward Howell likened the enzyme potential to a Bank Account.Each of us are born with a limited number of enzymes our bodies can produce in a lifetime; we'll call this our "Enzyme Bank Account".

It should not be hard to understand how the enzyme bank account can get out of balance:

Heavy withdrawals and skimpy deposits !

Deposits are made by supplementing the diet with enzymes.Eating cooked or processed foods,plus any number of enzyme robbers such as Stress and Allergies lead to withdrawals.

Eating raw enzyme foods such as fruit and vegetables do not make deposits.There are only enough enzymes available in the food to digest that particular food.

What does a low enzyme bank account feel like ?

Those that come to mind are bloating,fatigue,
gas,constipation,obesity,food allergies,
gastritis,nausea,diarrhea and a list of
digestive disorders.

The fact that partially digested protein putrefies,fats turn rancid and carbohydrates ferment, need mentioning.

Enzymes are involved in the functioning of all the systems of the body,and when the body was supplied with enzymes in the food,those enzymes brought life to the body,while consuming food without enzymes can bring disease.

When the body's supply of enzymes are used primarily to digest food the immune system is weakened.Conditions of disease and aging are always accompanied by a diet low in enzymes.

A person can't get fat off of foods rich in enzymes no matter how many calories are consumed.Raw foods,even those high in calories such as Bananas and Avocados are high in nutrients and enzymes and are therefore easily digested and used rather than stored.

Eliminate "Sugar" from the diet.Sugar causes us to eat foods low in enzymes which we would never eat naturally.Sugar also causes obesity because the body increases the appetite in an effort to find nutrients.(consider that starches turn to sugar)

So,supplementing the diet with enzymes are an excellent way to start on the road to a change in diet and good health.
