What is an enzyme?

This is perhaps the most perplexing starting point for anyone seeking perfect health and a perfect weight,
for while enzymes are the MOST studied aspect of health, very few people understand what there are and how a high quality enzyme can effect major changes in health.

An enzyme is a catalyst placed into plants by sunlight - they alone have the ability to make all the changes in your body, from closing your eyes to digesting your foods. As an analogy, think of a zipper. If you had to close a zipper nodule by nodule it would take forever; but once you introduce the zipping mechanism, the whole process speeds up.

Simple enough. When we get into a digestive enzyme, here is where the confusion starts. All raw foods, including plants and animals, have enough enzymes in them to perform complete digestion in the stomach of the human or animal without the digestive organs producing any additional enzymes.

However, once we begin to COOK the foods we are eating, the naturally occurring enzymes in the food become inactive (around 112 degrees F or 44 degrees Celsius). Now we must begin to transfer enzymes from our vital organs down through the pancreas to the small intestine in order to consume that cooked meal.
Since our organs have a finite capacity to produce enzymes (after which we are dead) then this artificial transfer of enzymes PREMATURELY exhausts our enzyme capacity, reducing our life spans from the Biblical prediction of 120 years to around 80 years of age.

Since most people prefer to eat mostly cooked foods (devoid of enzymes), they may simply add back
the missing enzymes by consuming a supplement containing a complete assortment of digestive enzymes.
This supplement should be from plant based enzymes as they are fully operative in the entire pH of your intestine (pancreatic based enzymes are not!). The enzyme supplement should also contain a high quality
PROBIOTIC since probiotics and enzymes work SYNERGISTICALLY  in the small intestine.

I highly recommend STAR FIRE Digestive Enzymes (found at Wisdom's Choice.com) since they are formulated using the best enzyme and probiotic companies in the world!
