Who Needs Enzymes?

Here's another posting of part of my online class today.

Enzymes are often overlooked, but they are very important to our overall health. Oh, we almost always start out with a basic Health Analysis. It doesn't cost anything and can be very enlightening! Go ahead, give it a try.

[Teri-NHC] 12:35 pm: Enzymes!
[Teri-NHC] 12:37 pm: No matter what body system is in need of support, enzymes are almost always a good choice for helping to get the body back on track
[Teri-NHC] 12:37 pm: Do any of you have an idea what enzymes do?
[Bahiyah w/Petra & Warm Spirit] 12:37 pm: no
[Bahiyah w/Petra & Warm Spirit] 12:38 pm: enlighten us
[Teri-NHC] 12:39 pm: 1) they aid in the breakdown of most types of food
[Teri-NHC] 12:39 pm: 2) They improve digestion (goodbye heartburn)
[Teri-NHC] 12:40 pm: 3) They activate needed vitamines that would otherwise be wasted.

[Teri-NHC] 12:40 pm: Liberate minerals your body needs
[Teri-NHC] 12:40 pm: support the immune system.
[Teri-NHC] 12:40 pm: Protect the joints
[Teri-NHC] 12:41 pm: Reduce symptoms of indigestion caused by fermentation of undigested foods.
[Teri-NHC] 12:41 pm: How's that for starters
[Teri-NHC] 12:42 pm: Different enzymes work on different types of foods.
[Teri-NHC] 12:44 pm: Questions?
[Teri-NHC] 12:44 pm: Feel free to ask...
[Teri-NHC] 12:45 pm: Enzymes initiate chemical reactions in our bodies
[Bahiyah w/Petra & Warm Spirit] 12:46 pm: sounds great so far
[Teri-NHC] 12:46 pm: Each one works like a key. It unlocks its unique body function
[Teri-NHC] 12:46 pm: It's actually how we are able to have life.
[Teri-NHC] 12:47 pm: Digestive enzymes in particular help break down food into components the body can use to get needed energy and structural building blocks
[tracy] 12:47 pm: i have that acid reflux
[tracy] 12:48 pm: yuck
[Teri-NHC] 12:48 pm: Enzymes can often take care of that, Tracy.

[Teri-NHC] 12:50 pm: Without enzymes your vitamins couldn't be processed into food for your body
[Teri-NHC] 12:50 pm: Right, Nancy.

[Teri-NHC] 12:51 pm: They aren't 'hardy'

[Teri-NHC] 12:51 pm: Cooking inactivates natural enzymes
[Nancy-SBRN] 12:51 pm: email me some info on that all I know is with prilosec I can swallow and no heartburn at all ever or acid reflux
[Teri-NHC] 12:52 pm: Okay,
[Teri-NHC] 12:52 pm: Some other things that impact enzymes in a negative way are stress and aging
[Teri-NHC] 12:53 pm: Lack of enzymes = lower nutrient absorption by the body
[Teri-NHC] 12:53 pm: This can affect immune function, energy, natural restorative powers, skin conditions, joint health and overall mood
[Teri-NHC] 12:54 pm: My favorite is Proactazyme Plus
[Teri-NHC] 12:54 pm: ...and Nancy already gave the perfect example of buying something off the store shelves.
[Teri-NHC] 12:56 pm: When I get clients who are going to do that to save money, I know they will either be back, or they'll be saying "natural products don't work". Well, you have to get good ones or you're right, they don't!
[Teri-NHC] 12:56 pm: Off my soapbox now...

[Teri-NHC] 12:57 pm: That's one of the first things I start out with in offline classes so they understand

[Teri-NHC] 12:58 pm: That's it, ladies. Thank you for coming! You can find a number of different types of enzymes if you are interested at http://www.mynsp.com/naturalhealthcoach
