Enzymes

Enzymes: Any of the various complex organic substances, originating from living cells and capable of producing certain chemical changes in organic substances by catalytic action, as in digestion.

Enzymes assist in the digestion of foods. They are known to be the "Life-Force" and or "energy" of food. If you eat food that is enzyme-less, your body will not get maximum utilization of the food. This causes toxicity in the body. (Can you guess why over 75% of Americans are overweight?) Enzymes are the catalysts of every chemical reaction in our bodies. Without them, there can be no cellular division, immune system functioning, energy production nor brain activity. No vitamins or hormones can do their work without enzymes.

It is amazing to see how all animals in nature maximize their enzyme reserve. If you give a squirrel a raw nut, it will NOT eat it, but always will bury it. It will only dig it up when the nut has sprouted. They have found sensors in squirrels' noses that can identify a sprouted nut. Raw, unsprouted nuts have enzyme inhibitors that prevent the nuts' food enzymes from digesting it. Only when it sprouts are these inhibitors deactivated.
