Aftermath of the Standard Americian Diet (S.A.D.): Enzyme Deficiency
Insufficient enzyme production is at the main cause of much “tummy trouble” in our nation. Digestive issues costs in The United States well over $50 BILLION in both direct costs and absence from work. Including many over the counter digestive aids, laxatives & colon care products. Not to mention Doctor visits.
It is a fact that 90 percent of the food Americans consume is processed foods. Diets consist of heavily cooked, processed, salty and sugar filled, combined with overuse of prescription drugs such as antibiotics, deplete your body’s ability to make enzymes.
Enzymes may be relatively large, but their protein structures are fragile. The amino acids in the molecular chain link together to form certain patterns and shapes, which give enzymes their unique characteristics and functions. When something disrupts the chain’s structure, the enzyme becomes “un-natural”—it changes shape and loses its ability to perform.
Heating your food above 106 degrees F creates the enzymes to became inactive.
This is one of the reasons it’s so important to EAT at least 80% of you foods RAW . Raw foods are enzyme-rich, and consuming them decreases your body’s burden to produce its own enzymes. The more food that you can eat raw, the better. Ideally, you should get 75 percent of your digestive enzymes from your food. Once angin do not drink liquids 15 min before, during or after your meals.
In addition to heat, enzymes are also very sensitive to shifts in pH, which is why different enzymes work in different parts of your digestive tract, based on the pH each enzyme needs in order to function.
Enzyme deficiency results in poor digestion and poor nutrient absorption. This creates a variety of gastrointestinal symptoms, including:
- Constipation
- Bloating
- Cramping
- Flatulence and belching
- Heartburn and acid reflux
Just to name a few unwanted conditions. Chronic mal-absorption can lead to a variety of illnesses. Think about it—if your body doesn’t have the basic nutritional building blocks it needs, your health and ability to recover from illness will be at risk. It is important that you assimilate the nutrients from the food you eat. Thus Colon Hydrotherapy is Important to detox and remove foods that did not support or serve your body.
Besides breaking down food, enzymes (particularly the proteases) can help with Colon healing, controlling pathogens, and immune support. Your immune system begins in your gut—and if you have enzyme and digestive issues, chances are your immune system isn’t functioning as well as it should be. Read Dr Victoria Bowmann’s book You gotta have Guts!! I offer her Reflorastation process. Only takes 15 minutes.
Complicating matters, your capacity for enzyme production can decline with age. HOWEVER I just attended a Birthday Party for a Centurian. Do you know what a Centurian is? Anyone over 100 Years OLD!! Bernando LaPallo who just celebrated his 110th Birthday!! Such an honor to be with the “Healthiest Man” I know!! Read his book AGE LESS, LIVE MORE
