“Take your vitamins” is one of the most common phrases our doctors and nutritionists tell us in order to promote a healthy life. From childhood onward, we stock our cabinets full of a myriad of vitamins that aid the complex systems within our body. But how often do you hear about the importance of enzymes in nutrition? Probably not very often, or maybe even never.
In honor of National Nutritional Month, we’re discussing the importance of enzymes to maintaining optimal health. Enzymes are proteins that exist both within our bodies and the food we eat. They aid in promoting smooth chemical processes within our bodies: namely, our digestion and our metabolism.
There are hundreds of thousands of enzymes active in every organ, tissue and fluid, and each has its own function. Enzymes activate our muscles, stimulate our nerves, and make our hearts beat, keeping us breathing, and even help us think. These complex biochemical substances are also able to convert nutrients from food to strong, healthy bodies.
By eating foods that are high in enzymes, we provide our bodies with additional forces to promote a healthy metabolism and aid in the detoxification process. The more enzymes you get, the easier it is for your body to digest food in a streamlined manner. The clearer your metabolic processes, the healthier your body and your brain become.
Enzymes are key to reducing inflammation, the root cause of most diseases that cause affliction. And just like antioxidants, enzymes help to fight off the free radicals that our body produces, preventing illnesses from arising.
While over 3,000 enzymes actively work inside our bodies to promote optimal health, the bottom line is this: the more enzymes you ingest, the healthier you will be. To incorporate more enzyme-rich foods into your diet, consider snacking on bananas, avocados, apricots, and pineapple.
At Breast Thermography of Middle TN we are passionate about enzymes and offer Enzyme Therapy to clients seeking to improve their health. So what is Enzyme Therapy exactly? Enzyme Therapy involves the administration of enzymes into the body to treat disease, deficiencies, and other conditions. Enzymes speed up the biological processes in the body and work to digest food, cleanse the blood, break down toxins, strengthen the immune system, reduce stress in the pancreas, and build protein muscle. In other words, enzymes make things happen!
