Enzymes
are the single most important element of your health and far
outweigh the importance of any other nutrient. Nothing in the
human body functions without enzymes making it happen. Without
exception, every new breakthrough nutritional product being introduced
on the market depends entirely upon enzymes (i.e. MSM, HGH, 5HDP,
DHEA, etc.) for it s effectiveness. So, what are enzymes? Enzymes
are:
- Proteins
that hold an electrical charge
- Catalysts
that speed up chemical processes without being used up in the
process
- Specific
in that they only cleave or cut certain bonds
- Efficient
in that one enzyme can break-down millions of bonds
There are three factors that affect enzymes; temperature, pH
and inhibitors. Enzymes work optimally at slightly higher temperatures.
This is why the body creates a fever when it s fighting off an
infection. When temperatures go above 118 degrees most enzymes
are destroyed. This is what happens when we cook and process
our foods. Each enzyme has its own optimum pH range in which
it is active. When it goes outside of this pH range the enzyme
is inactivated. Similarly, when specific substances (i.e. snake
or insect venom, aspirin, etc.) are introduced into the body
they may inhibit certain enzymes.
Where do enzymes come from? Enzymes come from one of three sources;
plants, animals or microbes (see Enzyme Comparison Chart). Plant
enzymes (bromelain and papain) work in a wide pH range but only
digest some proteins. Animal enzymes (pepsin, pancreatin) work
in a very limited pH range and only digest some of the food groups.
The microbial enzymes are the only ones that work in a wide pH
range and will digest all of the food groups. Acid and alkaline
are the two words most commonly associated with pH. pH means
hydrogen potential or the number of hydrogen ions in a solution
(see pH Range Chart).
More hydrogen = acidic Less hydrogen = alkaline
The pH in the human digestive tract varies greatly (see Human
Digestive Tract pH Range Chart). The pH of saliva is usually
between 6.5 - 7.5. After we chew and swallow food it then enters
the fundic or upper portion of the stomach which has a pH between
4.0-6.5. This is where predigestion occurs while the lower portion
of the stomach is secreting hydrochloric acid (HCl) and pepsin
until it reaches a pH between 1.5 - 4.0. After the food mixes
with these juices it then enters the duodenum (small intestine)
where the pH changes to 7.0 - 8.5. This is where 90% of the absorption
of nutrients is taken in by the body while the waste products
are passed out through the colon (pH 4.0-7.0). With this basic
understanding of enzymes and digestion let s look at what happens
in the body over the period of one life-time.
The
human body was specifically designed to function on raw, enzyme-rich
foods which support the digestive and metabolic enzymes found
naturally in the body (see Enzyme Pyramid Chart). When enzymes
are present in the raw foods we eat they predigest themselves
and are readily assimilated. Think of what happens when we eat
a salad for lunch. How long does it take before we re hungry
again? Now, let s look at what happens when we lower our body
s enzyme level through eating enzyme-deficient foods. Enzymes
occurring naturally in foods are destroyed by heating, cooking,
pasteurizing or processing. At the bottom of the Enzyme Pyramid
are the food enzymes taken in from the foods we eat. They are
the most abundant and are the foundation of our health and longevity.
When these food enzymes are not replenished on a daily basis,
our body is forced to supply all of the enzymes needed to digest
that cooked food.
This
is where the The Law of Adaptive Secretion that was established
in 1943 is important. This Law holds that an organism values
its enzymes highly and will make no more than are needed for
the job. These enzymes come from our digestive system or the
second level of the Enzyme Pyramid. After years or decades of
eating patterns that lack enzymes our bodies will eventually
use up its own digestive enzymes or the building blocks needed
to manufacture them. What may show up at this point are a host
of side effects that include acid reflux, belching, bloating,
gas, heartburn, indigestion, nausea and upset stomach. These
symptoms are not a result of to much HCl and enzymes but way
too few.
Our
bodies have now used up the two lower levels of the Enzyme Pyramid.
Do we stop eating now? No, we continue to eat enzyme-deficient
foods that will now begin to rob the enzymes that perform all
of your internal bodily functions. They are referred as metabolic
enzymes or the third level of the Enzyme Pyramid. Once this process
starts whatever genetic weaknesses or tendencies that run in
your family tree may begin to appear (i.e. cancer, diabetes,
heart disease). Because of the limited number of metabolic enzymes
and the importance of their functions, the body will deteriorate
at a very rapid pace. Death occurs when our final enzyme has
been used up.
When digestive enzymes are taken with meals there are a number
of benefits:
- Reduction
of gas, bloating, indigestion and heartburn
- Better
elimination
- Increased
energy levels
- Balance
of blood sugar levels
- Relief
from hiatal hernias and ulcers
- Lactose
tolerance

Essense ~ Vitamin-Mineral-Superfood Overview
Our separation from each other is an optical illusion of consciousness.
Einstein
Without rehashing the same old information over again, let s
do a real brief summary. Is vitamin and mineral supplementation
really necessary? Modern farming techniques are producing larger
quantities of food from the same acreage. This has required an
ever increasing amount of chemicals and fertilizers to try and
replace the missing soil minerals. In addition, pesticides and
herbicides are sprayed on these already mineral deficient crops.
This quantity over quality scenario has been going on for over
fifty years! Is it any wonder what ends up on our tables from
commercial grocery stores are basically empty foods. One option
is organically grown foods if they re available. Even eating
the best organic foods available today, we are exposed to more
stress (mental, physical, environmental) than our bodies were
ever designed to handle. Adding a quality vitamin and mineral
supplement to your daily regiment makes good sense. Not all vitamin/mineral
supplements are created equal. Most vitamins are in tablets which
commonly use di-calcium-phosphate as a binder. This acts as a
glue which prevents it from dissolving in the intestinal tract.
Even if it were to break down, phosphates inhibit the assimilation
of food nutrients (like drinking soda pop with a meal). On the
other extreme there are 100% natural vitamins that come from
certain fruits and vegetable sources. The only problem with these
is that you would have to eat such enormous amounts in order
to get any benefit. For example, acerola cherries are the best
food source of vitamin C at 1% by weight. This means it could
take 130-180 capsules to get the minimum daily value of just
that one vitamin. What other options are there? First, look for
products that are in capsules. They are typically higher quality.
A good choice would be a concentrated food-source like yeast,
liver and wheat germ. Another good choice would be a superfood-source
like blue green algae, spirulina, chlorella, barley, alfalfa,
etc. The amount of vitamins and minerals in these may be lower
than other options but the absorption and bio-availability is
considerably higher. This is because the processing keeps the
enzymes intact.
A few words about minerals. Other than the minerals that are
found naturally in superfoods, look for mineral sources from
amino acid chelates (AAC). These types of minerals have the highest
percentage by weight of actual active mineral and are similar
to those found naturally in plants (chelated to an amino acid)
so they are easily absorbed.
Nothing
in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.

Essense ~ Antioxidant Overview
Fear temporarily changes behavior.
What is the connection between antioxidants and free radicals?
First, let s define free radical. Free radicals are molecules
that have lost an electron. These molecules are very unstable
and are capable of destroying enzymes, protein molecules, a strand
of DNA or entire cells. They can be thought of as invaders that
attack the body. They will do anything to restore their balance
through stealing an electron from a nearby molecule. This process
will cause a chain reaction. Free radicals have been linked to
a number of health problems including premature aging, stroke,
heart disease, arthritis and cancer. They originate from either
the external environment or our own internal environment. External
sources include; air pollution, smog, exhaust fumes, cigarette
smoke, industrial wastes, herbicides, pesticides, drugs, radiation,
chemicals, power lines, microwave ovens, electronic equipment.
Other sources are hydrogenated oils (vegetable shortening and
margarine) and polyunsaturated oils. Free radicals are also produced
by the body internally as natural byproducts of oxygen metabolism
as well as from aging, disease, stress, vigorous exercise, trauma
or injury. Now, let s discuss antioxidants. Simply put antioxidants
are elements that will terminate free radicals and stop the chain
reaction. Antioxidants are also referred to as scavengers. They
stop free radicals by replacing the missing electron. There are
two sources of antioxidants. First, the body has a natural defense
mechanism in which it produces specific enzymes that act as antioxidants.
These enzymes need minerals and antioxidants to function optimally
and are found in foods and certain plants. The most commonly
known sources of antioxidants are Vitamin A, C, E, Beta Carotene,
selenium and zinc. However, in recent years scientists have discovered
new antioxidants from oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC) that
are 20 to 50 times more powerful. They come from grape seed or
pine bark and are non-toxic. Here s a brief list of the health
benefits of OPC:
- Lowers
LDL cholesterol levels thus reducing the risk of cardiovascular
disease.
- Reduces
platelet aggregation thus reducing arterosclerosis.
- Increases
the strength and elasticity of blood vessels.
- Enhances
the ability of collagen to repair itself thus improving skin
feel and elasticity.
- Relieves
problems with varicose veins and PMS.
- Inhibits
swelling and inflammation.
- Increases
brain function (improves memory and reduces senility).
- Reduces
the tendency towards diabetic retinopathy.
With the nutrient in our foods being compromised, the air quality
declining, the living of faster and more stressful lifestyles
and the exposure to more toxins and chemicals- the need for antioxidants
and the protection they offer is more critical than ever before.
