Digestion Fuels the Fountain of Health
By Julia Craven
What does your body spend most of it’s energy doing?
The answer may surprise you. Our bodies spend approximately
80% of our energy on the functioning and maintaining of
our digestive systems. That leaves 20% to deal with every
other function your body has to look after. Wouldn’t
it be amazing if you could shift that ratio a little? What
if you could reduce some of the energy your body spends
on digestion and let your body redirect that energy for
healing? Your body could use this extra energy to better
address inflammation, immunity, even brain function.
Enzymes are proteins that are catalysts that enable and
accelerate digestive processes. If you have a diet rich
in enzymes, you are helping your body reduce that astonishing
80% of its total energy output that it is spending on digestion.
Think of this, what would you be able to accomplish if you
were given extra energy every day? Would you exercise more,
engage in more play time with your children, spend more
time with friends? It’s the same idea in your body.
When the digestive process requires less energy due to having
plenty of enzymes to help with the work, your body frees
more energy to attend to other issues. The simple truth
is that by caring for your digestive system at every meal
you are helping your body to have all the tools it needs
for peak performance everywhere else.
How do you know which digestive enzyme formulation is the
best? For an enzyme formulation to be truly therapeutic
it must meet a few important criteria. There should be enzymes
that address a broad spectrum of foods, look for protease,
amylase, cellulose and lipase at the very least. The formula
should be made to work at the various pH levels that naturally
occur in the digestive tract. The enzymes should be plant
based and vegetarian because they deliver higher digestive
activity than animal sources. Enzymedica’s products
meet all of these criteria because they specialize in the
manufacture and formulation of therapeutic quality enzymes.
For the highest activity and the best quality enzymes look
no further than Digest Gold by Enzymedica.
It is not uncommon to hear people remark on how much more
energy they have after using digestive enzymes for a few
months, or that a chronic problem has become easier to manage.
The enzymes help every step of the way to ease the digestive
process and free up much more needed energy for healing.
Additionally, increased availability of nutrients means
more energy, better healing, and overall increased quality
of health.
You can see how the simple but powerful act of consistently
making sure you are getting plenty of digestive enzymes
can encourage optimal health for your whole body.You can
