Get The Most From Your Food With Digestive Enzymes

When I started learning about all the toxins I was putting into my body through years of processed food, I was STUNNED. I started to ask myself, how can I help my organs to get rid of these toxins more effectively? How can I help my gut to repair itself so that I don’t have bloating and gas for the rest of my life? The answer wasn’t far away. The answer in part, for me, was digestive enzymes, especially in the beginning of my gut health journey.

 

How Enzymes Work

Our organs produce digestive enzymes, and different enzymes work on different foods. There are specific enzymes for starches and carbohydrates, proteins and fats.

We can access enzymes from external sources like raw fruits, vegetables, cold pressed oils and raw dairy. Yet when these foods are heated, the enzymes quickly denature and our organs are forced to carry the whole undigested load. This is stressful to our bodies, and a lot of work. 

By incorporating digestive enzyme supplements and eating more raw foods, I quickly went from bloated and uncomfortable most of the time to energized, vibrant and light. Giving my body exactly what it needed to break down and easily assimilate the food I was taking in made all the difference. Because when your body has to pour all it’s resources into breaking down the food you’re eating, there isn’t much space left for fighting illness & other functions.

Digestive enzymes were a simple addition that helped me so much in the early repair stages and still today maintaining my GI health. Check out my favorite digestive enzymes by Garden of Life here.
