In my firm opinion, everyone should take them. It would alleviate many internal problems and create a healthier society in general. As explained in part 1, the why is very simple.
Why do you need to take digestive enzymes?
- Gut health is linked to mental health and is known as the gut-brain axis
- Reduces inflammation and speeds healing.
- Helps burn fat/increases metabolism
- Increases oxygen uptake
- It carries nutrients to cells.
- regulates hormones
- Eliminate toxic waste
The benefits outweigh the costs of NOT taking them. Without them, you digest a much smaller portion of each meal and the rest is literally wasted. (How does that feel in your checkbook?)
North American diets reduce enzyme production
Fast food.
Fast food.
Sugar, fake processed meats, you name it, we get it wrong and we love it, when we shouldn’t settle for less just to save a couple bucks… The “foods” we create here are often BANNED in other countries simply because! they are not nutritious at all!
The Spam, Pringles and even your beloved Minute Maid OJ are to blame for our poor health and diets.
Most juice production lines add extra sugar to the juices you buy, removing the valuable fiber and flavonoids you expect to buy. They’re already full of fructose…they don’t need more!
Maybe one day they’ll create juices sweetened with stevia instead of sugar, but I’m not holding my breath…
When you think about it, that Cuisinart processor you’ve been itching to buy doesn’t seem all that expensive now, does it?
In fact, you save more money in the long run, because you get everything you need from the fruits you enjoy without wreaking havoc on your body through bloating and sugars…
Just look at ALL those nuts, bro!
Items like chips, soda, cookies, etc. pretty much describe the Western/American diet with a perfect “T”. Right down to the processed Lunchables in kids’ lunchboxes everywhere.
Sure, you save a dollar or two at the time, but how do you think your body and your children’s body will respond to those foods?
they actually create plus problems, such as hyperactivity that is later diagnosed as ADHD or other conditions, when it is actually the result of a poor diet, stripped nutrients, and a lack of digestive enzymes.
We also bleach our meats here in North America using ammonia, chlorine dioxide, and other chemicals to kill bacteria and viruses from poultry and other meats. I find that method to be crazy.
At the same time, I understand the need to eliminate these nasty critters, however I think it all starts on the farm and in caring for the animals, but that’s another story for another day.
Digestive enzymes remove toxic waste that pollutes your body
Sugars, chemically treated meats, what else can the world throw at us? MUCH MORE!
Your daily life most likely consists of getting in your car to get from A to B. Pile pollution on top to add a new layer of toxins!
Transdermal absorption is not as conventional as it should be, which is why I mention it in the realm of digestive enzymes. Prebiotics and probiotics help eliminate toxins and waste from all the sources you encounter every day…
Unfortunately, most of the world looks like a smog-infested post-apocalyptic scene…
The smoke comes at us from all directions… Restaurants, sewers, portable toilets, nuclear power plants and the planes that fly overhead spewing gases like a fire hydrant.
Can you see exactly how these enzymes and micronutrients really impact your daily life?
If not, the following is the result of the accumulation of all these crazy sources hitting you from the inside:
- allergies
- Constipation
- Diarrhea
- mental health
- Illness
- strange pain
- migraines
- Etc…
Is this really how we should live and eat?
Many agree that it’s not ideal and that eating healthier is cheaper but more expensive because, frankly, marketing makes it that way.
It should be the other way around, eating healthier should be cheaper because it requires LESS chemicals, LESS dangers and MORE care.
Therefore, answering the question of “how do digestive enzymes work?” is actually a big deal!
You need enzymes to really experience life as healthy as you can. Most toxic buildup occurs without enzymes and you’ll be affected slowly, but over time it catches up with you through various ways, like paint on your joints or even headaches and easy agitation.
Other factors play into the arena of mental health, but the most basic of them boils down to a toxic body that lacks friendly enzymes to help.
conclusion
As you can see, there are a plethora of reasons to take digestive enzymes. They are the unspoken health heroes who deserve more attention. The gut-brain axis must be the mainstream.
Your body will thank you and you will have energy to do everything you need and want without wasting a good part of the food you eat.
I bet you will LOVE taking them and you will notice their effects right away!
Are you willing to grab a bottle and have a couple of caps with every meal and see how you feel?
I would love to see how you have changed after just 30 days on digestive enzymes. Do you already take digestive enzymes?
