Digestive Enzymes
Anytime you cook food, you obliterate the enzymes found in that
food. Raw food contains the enzymes that it needs to be totally
broken down (digested) into nutrients. Consider example this: an
apple falls from a tree and becomes bruised. This starts a procedure
where the apple breaks down and finally digests itself, because
the enzymes are doing their job. Take a second apple off the tree
and eat it. It contains all the enzymes it desires to digest itself;
all you need to do is chew the apple carefully enough to break down
the cell walls and free the enzymes.
Take a few additional apples and make apple pie with them. Slice
them up, add several sugar and spices, put them in a crust and bake
it in the oven. You have just uncovered those temperature-sensitive
enzymes to a temperature that will obliterate them completely. The
amazing apple pie now has no enzymes, which means you body has to
produce all the enzymes needed to digest the pie. The added sugar
will raise the stress put on your digestive system.
If you bake, broil, steam, can, boil, microwave, pasteurize, genetically
alter or development food, you destroy the enzymes initially found
in that food. Where can you get the enzymes that your body needs
to correctly digest your food?
Digestive enzyme supplements can help your body to correctly digest
your enzyme-deficient food. Enzymes approach from living sources,
namely animals and plants. What are the differences between the
two sources? The largest difference is that only plant enzymes have
the ability to predigest food; animal enzymes do not. Predigestion
is a key part to healthy digestion. When you ate that raw apple,
it supplied it’s possess enzymes to aid in digestion. Those
food enzymes began digesting the food exact away. Supplemental plant
enzymes provided with a meal work in agreement with your body's
own enzymes to allow your body to predigest your food.
The upper section of the stomach is a holding tank for food until
the main section of the stomach collects adequate acid to reach
a pH of about 3. This process takes about 45 to 60 minutes. When
food is accompanied by plant enzymes, the predigesting procedure
is allowed to begin. This predigestion is talented to break down
the food so during other stages of digestion the body does not have
to work as firm; thus, pressure on the body is lessened.
Dissimilarity between plant and animal source enzymes is that plant
enzymes work at a broad range of pH levels. Animal enzymes work
at extremely limited pH levels. The broader the variety in which
an enzyme works, the more food it can digest for a longer time.
When selecting your digestive enzyme supplement, believe the source
of the plant enzyme and the types of food it digests. Enzymes are
usually derived from Aspergillus’s, papaya and pineapple.
The ideal source is Aspergillus.
There are four factors that trigger enzymes: optimum pH and temperature,
type of food and water. We've already talked a bit about pH, now
let's think temperature. To be most effective, the enzyme should
labor most actively at body temperature (98.6 degrees). Enzymes
derived from Aspergillus work best around this hotness. Enzymes
from papaya or pineapple have their peak activity stage at 120-140
degrees Fahrenheit.
Select an enzyme enhancement that will digest the food found in
your meal. Briefly, here is what type of food every supplemental
enzyme will digest:
--Amylase digests carbohydrates
--Protease digests protein
--Lipase digests fats
--Disaccharidases (such as lactase, invertase and maltase) digest
sugars found in dairy, sucrose and grains
--Cellulose digests fiber
