Hippocrates once said "man
is not nourished by what he swallows but by what he digests and uses".
Enzymes are proteins that are responsible for nearly every chemical
reaction that occurs in the body. Digestion and all metabolic pathways
rely on enzymes to function. Enzymes participate in at least 80,000
enzyme systems in the body and many suggest that the enzyme is the essence
of life itself!
Scientists believe that we are all born with a finite supply of bodily
enzymes and the faster we use them up, the shorter our lives may be.
What do Enzymes do?
In general, they break food down into molecules that can pass through
the cell membranes and into the blood stream to provide nourishment
and energy. They make it possible for us to see, move, breath, think
and even sleep. Our immune system is dependent upon the action of enzymes.
