Enzyme Nutrition

"Enzymes make the digestion of food possible. Our disgestive organs produce some enzymes internally. However, food enzymes are necessary for optimal health and must come from uncooded foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables, raw sprouted grains, unpasteurized dairy products, and food enzyme supplements. When we are young, says Dr. Howell, our normal ability to produce enzymes internally promotes rapid growth, and in most cases prevents serious illness. But as we age, our internal enzymes become depleted. Unless we do something to stop their one-way flow out of the body, or digestive and eliminative capacities weaken; this can lead to acute health complaints, obesity, and chronic illnesses"--Back cover.
