Digestive Enzymes Deficiency and Disease

A growing number of disease has been linked to enzyme deficiency. The lack of amylase and protease causes your body to focus more of its energy on producing enzymes to make up the difference instead of using the energy to shore up the immune system to prevent disease. A prolonged period of this will in time create a snowball effect in the body with an eventuality of disorders anywhere from a twitch in the eye to chronic digestive disorders. Serious digestion disorders are becoming more and more prevalent today. The rise in disease can be trace right alongside certain habits we in modern society have adopted such as cooking our foods. There is a larger percentage of people that eat cooked (processed) foods than ever before.

Cooking Food kills Enzymes
Our bodies were never intended to consume and digest the amounts of processed and cooked foods that we do. Our bodies were designed to eat a mostly raw vegetable diet. Raw vegetables naturally contain enzymes to aid in the digestion and absorption of the nutrients we need. Remember, cooking vegetables to more than 115 degrees Fahrenheit kills the natural enzymes that aid in digestion and thus forces the pancreas to produce more enzymes to make up the difference. This puts strain on the pancreas and over a long period of time, can over tax the pancreas to the point of exhaustion. This can lead to disorders such as: diabetes, hypoglycemia, autoimmune, Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis and even cancer. It is a likelihood that when there is a deficiency in digestive enzymes disease might not be too far away.

Digestive Enzymes and Lyme
Lyme is one of the most under diagnosed disorders there is. The problem is that the symptoms of Lyme usually mimic other disorders so it is common for it to go undiagnosed for a lifetime. One of the symptoms of lyme is digestion problems. While digestive enzyme supplements will not be a cure for lyme disease, they can definitely help to relieve some of its symptoms along with a whole host of other benefits. There are a couple of known cures for lyme disease. One of the best cures is all natural, TOA free Cats Claw (Samento). It must be TOA free for it to be effective.

Digestive Enzymes and Weight Loss
Will digestive enzymes help you lose weight? Studies have shown that overweight people have a deficiency in the digestive enzyme called lipase. Lipase breaks down fats. Undigested fats get stored in the tissues and consequently cause weight gain among other things: poor circulation, Gout, high blood pressure just to name a couple. While effective, using enzymes to lose weight however is not enough. Diet and exercise are a vital part of any weight loss program and should not be overlooked.
