Sugar in a Nutshell
Sugar:
In a nutshell: Sugar is nutritionally empty. You eat sugar. You digest it. Your body says�hmmm�energy..YES!BUT then it says, wait a minute, where are all the nutrients? So you are immediately hungry again, demanding more food and you�ve already packed in all those sugar calories!
Enzymes:
In a nutshell: Enzymes are catalysts, but more than catalysts, they are your life force.Think of them as the electricity that flows through the lightbulb. The protein is just the shell that contains the life force.
You are born with a supply of enzymes. When you use them up you die. Think of them as a bank account. You need to make deposits or once you�ve spent it all you go broke.
Your body uses enzymes (metabolically) in virtually every bodily function. It uses enzymes (digestive) to digest the food you eat to break it down into useable substances and waste.
Each food you eat comes naturally packaged with its own enzymes to break it down and aid with �pre-digestion�, taking the load off your supply of enzymes (and your pancreas).
Heat (118 degrees F) kills all enzymes. So when you eat cooked foods, your pancreas and liver have to pull metabolic enzymes back from the body, rearrange them into digestive enzymes and use them to digest the food. Withdrawal from your enzyme bank... results in aging, degenerative diseases and eventually death.
Although the minerals and vitamins and fiber are retained in cooked foods, you still deplete your enzymes and create underlying disease processes.
Partially digested fat particles float around in your blood vessels and wreak havoc.
How do you deposit into your enzyme bank? Eat foods in their uncooked form.
Also use natural enzyme supplements.
Think about it the next time you buy canned veggies, breads, processed foods, convenience foods, cookies, pasteurized homogenized milk, even plank baked salmon, steamed veggies, smashed baby reds with roasted garlic and a warm apple cobbler with vanilla bean ice cream. EVEN Balance bars.
