Digestive enzymes are the catalysts that turn the food we eat into energy for use in the body. The three big ones are protease, amylase and lipase. Protease digests proteins; amylase digests carbohydrates and lipase digest fats.
We produce these enzymes in our pancreas however we can also aide the digestive process by eating foods that are rich in these various digestive enzymes. Heat destroys digestive enzymes which are one of the reasons why a raw food diet gets such a good rap. It’s important however to make sure that your digestive system is strong and functioning optimally to digest raw foods otherwise a raw food diet can cause problems. Digestion is only one function of enzymes in your body they play many other roles such as anti-inflammation, healing injuries, detoxing, anti-parasitic, and many more.
