Dr. Mike’s Wellness Advice: Enzymes Digestion
Filed Under: Health & Wellness
Enzymes digestion is one of the body’s most basic and crucial functions. We already know how important they are in digestion and colon health, don’t we? And yes, enzymes are present in food but MOSTLY in RAW foods. These enzymes initiate the digestive process and reduce the need of our body to secrete its own digestive enzymes.
Digestive enzymes are secreted along the gastrointestinal tract and break down the food that enters the body so that the nutrients can be absorbed.

But there’s always a ‘’BUT”. Food enzymes are destroyed when cooking at moderate to high temperatures. And since most people don’t consume plenty of raw foods, our body has to rely on its own digestive enzymes! As a result, more and more stress is placed on our system and organs AND less time and energy is available to rebuild and renew damaged cells and tissue, and keep our immune system strong!
That’s why it’s important to add digestive enzymes to your food, or supplements, or meal replacements SO that the body does NOT have to stress out and secrete these enzymes itself!
Yours in Optimal Health,
