Enzymes in your food

Hello everyone,
In my studies for my Master's Degree in Holistic Nutrition, I have the pleasure of studying so much interesting information from so many different sources. My last course was on Enzyme Nutrition. What is an enzyme? An enzyme is an organic compound which accelerates or produces a catalytic action. A simpler definition is that an enzyme speeds up biochemical reactions. They are involved in metabolism, growth and devlopment and are are essential for life. They are present in every stage of digestion. Well, how do we consume more enzymes if they are so good for us? Raw foods. Enzymes are killed when foods are cooked, so it is important to eat more raw foods. Carrot and celery sticks, fruit, salads are all raw foods. To make this simple here is a list of foods with highest enzymatic activity. Try adding more of them to your diet and be sure to eat them raw! Enjoy.
Avocados, Bananas, Mangos, Sprouted Beans and Grains(1/4" sprouts if possible, which are the most nutritious,) Raw Milk and Raw Butter, Raw Honey (remember that when you add it to your tea, you've killed the enzymes,)and Raw Nuts.
You should be able to add more of these nutritious and delicious foods to your diet this week.
Be well,
Patty
