Diet

If you eat food that is steamed, boiled, roasted, broiled, fried, stewed, canned, pasteurized, or even microwaved, you need food enzymes. Enzymes are the most heat sensitive nutrients found in food. When food enzymes are missing, the body is forced to produce all the enzymes necessary for digestion. This puts unwarranted stress on the organs of digestion which must rob enzymes from your immune systems to digest your food.

There are four main types of food enzymes:
     -Proteases break down protein (meats, beans, etc.)
     -Amylases break down carbohydrates (potatoes, pasta, cookies, etc.)
     -Lipases break down fats (olives, avocados, etc.)
     -Cellulases break down fiber (celery, carrots, etc.)

Three Amylases are essential to the digestion of carbohydrates
     -Lactase breaks down lactose (milk sugar)
     -Sucrase breaks down sucrose (refined sugar)
     -Maltase breaks down maltose (malt sugar)
