Today's Metabolic Minute from Jim LaValle:

 

Digestive Enzymes

 

Digestive enzymes break down food and are grouped into several categories.

Proteases (or proteolytic enzymes) specifically catabolize (or to break down)

proteins, lipases aid in breaking down fat, and amylases break down

carbohydrates. Without these enzymes, which are secreted by the salivary glands

and the pancreas, digestion of food and absorption of nutrients would be

impossible. A research study in the early 1990s concluded that more than 20

million Americans suffer from digestive disorders. Many of these disorders may

be rooted in insufficient digestive enzymes.

 

Food-Based Enzymes

 

Food-based enzymes are those that occur naturally in raw foods. They support the

digestive process by removing some of the burden on digestive enzymes. Examples

are papain (from papaya) and bromelain (from pineapple), among others. Raw foods

contain naturally occurring enzymes that are destroyed by heat and processing.

Since the modern Western diet is comprised primarily of cooked foods, we lack

the intake of food enzymes that nature intended. This places the burden of

digestion on the digestive organs, which must produce the enzymes needed to

digest the food we eat rather than the metabolic enzymes need for health and

healing.
