Chew On This

Dear Reader,

 

Enzymes are vitally important for all the functions of your

body, beginning with every bite of food you eat. And right there

is where most of the problems start. Fortunately there are

simple steps you can take to help improve your enzyme

deficiencies. And the first two steps could hardly be easier.

 

----------------------------

Cooked & swallowed

----------------------------

 

Enzymes are proteins required to facilitate every chemical

interaction in the body. In fact, none of the metabolic

functions of the body (such as the utilization of vitamins and

minerals) would ever occur without enzymes.

 

Unfortunately, most people who follow a western diet virtually

starve their bodies of enzymes by eating processed or cooked

foods almost exclusively. When food is heated at a sustained

temperature of more than 120 degrees, all enzymes are destroyed.

Enzymes in saliva help the cause, but most people don't chew

their food well enough to properly start off the digestive

process. So most of the food we eat reaches the stomach without

the benefit of enzymes, which means it's not properly

pre-digested.

 

Then the trouble starts. To compensate for the lack of

pre-digestion, stomach acids are over-produced, which can cause

heartburn or acid reflux. But in spite of the stomach's best

efforts, food that's still not properly digested reaches the

small intestine. This puts a large amount of stress on the

pancreas and the endocrine system in general to provide reserves

of enzymes. When this stress is repeated day after day, the

pancreas suffers.

 

According to HSI Panelist Jon Barron: " Recent studies have shown

that virtually 100% of people on the typical 'western' diet have

an enlarged pancreas by the time they are 40. "

 

As I mentioned above, two simple steps you can take to

provide your body with sufficient enzymes and assist your

digestion are easy: 1) Eat plenty of whole, fresh, uncooked

foods, and 2) Take care to chew your food well.
