Digestive Enzymes are the *Spark of Life*
Ignite your life
processes with digestive enzymes!
Research shows that
digestive enzymes are not only important for
digestion – they also perform a multitude of
functions within the body. Every action and
reaction within the body is dependent on
enzymes; they literally ignite the processes
that sustain life itself. Without them, life is
incapable of existing, period. Enzymes are “life
energy” – they are the *Spark of Life*!
Imagine the body
being like a new automobile with a high-speed
engine under the hood. As years pass, the once
new battery that “sparks” it into action is now
exhausted from years of demands draining its
life energy – its reserve can no longer ignite
the processes to start the engine.
As we age, our enzyme
bank is naturally depleted – the production of
natural enzymes in the stomach, pancreas and
small intestine declines, starting as early as
age 30. We experience digestive distress, loss
of skin tone and premature aging and make
excuses when we start to sputter because our
body continues to perform. We don’t recharge our
enzyme reserves until our internal systems break
down and we can no longer “jump-start” our
engine.
Each enzyme has a
specific job to assist in digestion and overall
health. Proper utilization of nutrients and
vitamins cannot possibly occur without the
presence of enzymes, so when enzyme reserves are
depleted, the body goes into a state of
mal-absorption. In addition to aiding digestion,
enzymes assist the body in healing from
infections, help to maintain healthy blood,
process iron, and carry oxygen throughout the
body to nourish the billions of skin, tissue,
and brain cells.
Natural enzymes occur
in raw fruits and vegetables, not exactly the
most popular food items for most Americans.
Cooking and processing foods destroys enzymes.
No wonder we are a generation starving for
enzymes - it shows, too, in the millions of
chronic disorders like fibromyalgia, arthritis,
food and environmental allergies, colon and
prostate cancers, and skin disorders, as well as
candida and parasite infestations. In fact, at
present, 80 million Americans are diagnosed with
digestive disorders.
The Enzyme
Depletion/Disease Connection
Enzyme depletion =
lack of energy, development of diseases
and accelerated symptoms of aging.
Lack of enzymes
contributes to:
Disorders involving pain and
inflammation are rarely connected to a lack of
enzymes and the body’s ability to process what
is ingested. The fact is, enzymes are needed
for every phase of tissue repair – they reduce
swelling and pain and decrease the overall
duration of the inflammatory responses, thus
speeding recovery. Learn more about
pain and inflammation
and
Metabolic/systemic oral enzymes
which provide
assistance with the symptoms of
inflammation.
Additionally, the accumulation of
undigested food from enzyme deficiency,
metabolic waste, and putrefied fecal matter in
the intestinal tract overburdens the liver and
the secondary circulatory system, the lymphatics.
This
contributes to toxic overload. Learn more about

Re-Charge Your Battery
– Build Your Supply of Enzymes
The good news: we now
have the option of taking preventive measures to
keep our enzyme reserves plentiful by
supplementing with a professional complex of
full-spectrum digestive enzymes.
-
Eat as many
raw vegetables or juices as possible.
-
Get plenty of
restorative sleep and set time aside for
activities to reduce stress and rejuvenate
the mind, body and soul.
-
After the age
of 40, or if under excessive stress or
suffer from a chronic condition, supplement
with a full spectrum digestive enzyme that
contains enzymes for digestion: fats,
carbohydrates, fiber, grains, seeds,
legumes, fruits, vegetables, components of
milk (lactose and protein) and soy.
Additional benefits of adequate digestive
enzymes include:
support against autoimmune disorders, arthritis,
multiple sclerosis, chronic diseases and for
pre- and post-surgery patients. Enzymes also
assist in the removal of metabolic
waste and help improve overall
circulation. They
play an important role in
preventing excessive
blood clotting and reducing
stickiness of
platelets and red blood cells.
What is the most
effective way to take digestive enzymes?
The best way to take
digestive enzyme supplementation is to swallow
one capsule at the beginning of the meal, and an
additional one either in the middle or at the
end of the meal. This assures a type of
“time-released” action. If you’re having
digestive problems, your enzyme complex should
provide relief during and after the meal for
approximately two hours. If your symptoms
persist, be sure to check with your health care
provider to rule out other medical conditions,
such as a risk of cardiovascular involvement.
Go ahead, ignite
your life processes with enzymes—all you
have to lose at minimum are digestive problems –
what you have to gain is the ability to add life
to your years, not just years to your life,
naturally. Celebrate your independence from
digestive problems. Start taking digestive
enzymes – the *Spark of Life!*
