34 Plant Enzymes
In order for your body to draw valuable nutrients from your food, it is necessary for your food to be properly digested and metabolized. Digestive enzymes assist the digestive system in the breaking-down of carbohydrates, fats and proteins into their basic components (simple sugars, fatty acids and amino acids.) An example is amylase, which breaks down carbohydrates.
Metabolic enzymes help to catalyze the various chemical reactions within the cells, such as energy production and detoxification. In this way they assist in building the body from proteins, carbohydrates and fats. An example is catalase, which breaks down hydrogen peroxide in the body, and liberates more oxygen for the body to use.
Unfortunately, our modern life-styles are having a negative impact on these important enzymes. Enzymes are extremely sensitive to heat, and are destroyed by temperatures above 50 degrees Centigrade. Because we cook, and often over-cook, our foods, we need to eat more raw vegetables and fruits, and supplement our intake of enzymes.
