The current diet is not enough food usually includes raw and has more than enough food handled. The result is an enzyme depletion effects on our health.
The use of digestive enzymes to treat diseases is very old. The Mayans and other peoples applied papaya leaves, which contain an enzyme called papain, in malignant ulcers. But it was in the early twentieth century when German scientists discovered that certain dysfunctions of the body were related to the activity of enzymes. The pancreatic juice rich in enzymes, then came into use for the treatment of cancer. Today, the enzyme therapy, the name given to the therapeutic use of enzymes, is increasingly used in treatments to improve digestion, eliminate viruses, boost immunity, speed healing of wounds and suppress the inflammatory response.
There are two different kinds of enzymes and the digestive, to help us break down and assimilate nutrients, and metabolic enzymes, which play a fundamental role in maintaining life processes. But in addition, raw foods we also provide enzymes that help us digest food.
The digestive organs such as the pancreas and liver are responsible for producing most of the digestive enzymes, and the rest should be provided by uncooked fresh foods like fruits, raw vegetables, sprouts, seaweed, seeds and nuts, dairy products pasteurized and enzyme supplements. When the diet is low in enzymes, the pancreas has to make a greater effort to produce digestive enzymes. If the pancreas is overworked, there is a deficiency of metabolic enzymes vital for the development of all cellular functions.
Enzymatic Therapy works by improving digestive function and ensures good digestion and assimilation of nutrients. Provide insufficient digestion conditions prone to the disease, such as undigested food properly promote a harmful intestinal flora, proteins putrefy, ferment carbohydrates and fats become rancid. This favors the formation of toxic compounds such as nitrosamines and ammonia, known carcinogens. Also, undigested proteins, called peptides, can enter the systemic circulation, where the immune system recognizes as foreign and attacks them, resulting in allergic reactions.
Digestive enzymes meals eaten outside work against the disease more directly, attacking, for example, the coat protein of cancer cells, tumors or virus destroying the harmful immune complexes by dissolving blood clots and reduce inflammation. Pancreatic enzymes have been used to detect antigens on the surface of cancer cells, allowing the immune system identify and destroy them, and also to stimulate immune function. Besides proteolytic, enzymes degrade the cover of cancer cells which are composed of proteins and thus get the chemotherapy work more effectively and at lower doses.
Furthermore, clinical studies have demonstrated the positive effects of enzymatic therapy against herpes zoster and warts. The virus, like cancer cells are covered by a protein coat that can be digested by proteolytic enzymes. Another promising area for enzymatic therapy is autoimmune diseases. These arise when the immune system attacks its own tissues and organs, creating immune complexes that cause injury and inflammation. These include multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile diabetes, lupus or colitis. The enzyme therapy in these cases acts by destroying the immune complexes, preventing their formation and reduce inflammation.
The enzymatic therapy is also being used in vascular disease to dissolve blood clots and prevent blood from clotting, so inhibiting the formation of deposits in the arteries and reduce blood thickness. It is indicated for both cases of phlebitis, thrombosis, atherosclerosis and venous insufficiency.
Why it matters enzyme supplements?
Taken with food, enzymes improve digestion of proteins, carbohydrates and fats and are described in the following treatments:
* Obesity, cystic fibrosis, pancreatic enzymes, lipase, ox bile
* Flatulence, bloating, pancreatic enzymes, amylase.
* Asthma, eczema, allergies, irritable bowel syndrome: pepsin, betaine hydrochloride, pancreatic enzymes
Taken between meals are listed at:
* AIDS: pancreatin, papain, lipase, amylase, bromelain, trypsin and chymotrypsin, with bioflavonoids.
* Warts, herpes zoster: trypsin, chymotrypsin, protease.
* Cancer pancreatin, pepsin, betaine hydrochloride, bromelain, papain, trypsin, qumiotripsina, lipase, amylase
* Benign breast tumors: proteolytic enzymes along with vitamin E.
* Esclerois multiple: pancreatin with essential fatty acids.
Finally, proteolytic enzymes taken between meals can improve vascular disease, treat wounds, reduce inflammation, and improve arthritis and rheumatism.
Fresh, raw foods
The enzymes found in fresh raw foods and are very sensitive to heat, are destroyed at temperatures from 30 ° C. Fried food is, in this sense, one of the worst methods of cooking as they used very high temperatures. The same applies to pasteurization, canning and microwave for high temperatures.
A diet of cooked and processed foods forces the pancreas to secrete more digestive enzymes, and therefore spend less metabolic energy to produce enzymes which eventually leads to enzyme depletion.
It is however necessary to follow a strict raw food diet, but it is important to include everyday foods rich in enzymes, denatured and live as fruits and vegetables, sprouts, seaweed, seeds, nuts and unpasteurized dairy products. A comprehensive food, biological, rich in vegetables and fruits is itself rich in minerals and vitamins, nutrients for the body to produce its own enzymes more efficiently.
