Enzymes-can complement health care.
From an academic point of view, although we haven't found any secret recipe or health food is omnipotent, we still have reason to believe that there is something suitable for everyone, even if it is only a nutritional supplement, it can still be used as the basis for medical treatment or health care and play a complementary role with it. Now, this wish has finally come true, and we find that enzyme is the long-sought answer.
If you are interested in living a long life and staying away from diseases, or taking vitamins and minerals for many years has no effect, then this booklet will definitely interest you.
Kuvins, the author of the 2 1 century survival guide, published the book Health, Longevity and Food Enzymes written by Dr. Ivo Chawell. This book explains why some treatments can cure diseases and some drugs are "incurable". The key is "enzyme". All chemical reactions in the human body need enzymes. Our organs, tissues and cells are all controlled by metabolic enzymes, and minerals, vitamins and hormones also need enzymes to function normally. In short, enzymes are labor heroes who work in the human body.

Simply put, enzymes are the general name of thousands of enzymes that undertake the most basic life activities of human beings. For living things, enzymes are fundamental to maintaining life activities.
What is an enzyme?
Simply put, enzymes are the general name of thousands of enzymes that undertake the most basic life activities of human beings.
In organisms, enzymes help organisms break down various substances and carry out metabolism. No matter animals or plants, as long as there is life, there must be enzymes. Enzymes are closely related to the synthesis, decomposition, transportation and excretion of substances in organisms, as well as providing energy and maintaining the most basic life activities. Without enzymes, living things can't survive. The amount of enzymes in the body is closely related to the youth, health, disease and aging of organisms.
More than 5000 kinds of enzymes have been found in human body. There are so many kinds of enzymes because each enzyme has only one function, and its characteristics determine its number. For example, saliva contains an enzyme called salivary amylase, which only reacts with carbohydrates. Another example is that the decomposition, digestion and absorption processes of fat and protein are completed by different enzymes.
Where did the enzyme come from? Enzymes that maintain the life activities of organisms are all synthesized in the cells of organisms. In addition to thousands of enzymes contained in ourselves, we also need to ingest them from other foods and synthesize new enzymes in our bodies. Now the whole world is trying to study how enzymes affect the health of organisms.
Humans eat food to survive, and the nutrients contained in food are absorbed and converted into heat. This kind of heat can be used as energy to show action or immune energy to repel diseases. Supplementing these nutrients is indispensable for our life activities.
? Protein, Fat and Carbohydrate? It is the main energy to support life activities. If cars are taken as an analogy, these nutrients are swept into gasoline.
Cars can't run on gasoline alone, nor can the human body move on nutrients alone. Our bodies must properly decompose and digest these nutritious fuels (substances) in order to provide enough kinetic energy. The substance responsible for systemic catalysis (transformation) is "enzyme". "Enzyme" is equivalent to the battery of a car. It will carefully analyze the nutritional components of food in the human body and "assimilate (digest and absorb)" the necessary things, and then "dissimilate (convert energy)" with various actions.
In other words, the so-called "enzyme" is like an "operator that makes life activities go smoothly". Therefore, we can't live without enzymes.
For living things, "enzymes are fundamental to maintaining life activities". The "metabolism" of life activities is a series of "assimilation (digestion and absorption)" and "alienation (energy consumption, residue excretion)" activities, and only "enzyme" can play a role and continue.
Take building a house as an example. "Enzymes" are equivalent to workers. They will build walls with cement, lay tiles on the ground, lay carpets, build partitions, and bury water pipes and wires. To build a home, it is very important to have skilled workers with these materials and skills. So are our bodies. Houses that have lived for a long time need frequent maintenance. At this time, materials and workers are necessary. Matter is equivalent to the nutrients needed by the human body, and it is "enzyme" that plays the role of workers and uses these nutrients to regain the ideal "life". At the beginning of the 20th century, people discovered vitamins and trace elements, and there was a wave of supplementary nutrition. However, the healthy way of 2 1 century should be enzymes and nutrition.
Enzymes are indispensable for every reaction of the human body. Without enzymes, there would be no life. For example, enzymes digest food so that nutrients are small enough to enter the blood through the pores of the intestinal membrane. Enzymes in the blood digest complete nutrients and use them to build muscles, nerves, blood and glands. At the same time, enzymes help to store sugar in the liver and muscles and transform fat into obese tissues.
Enzymes not only contribute to the formation of urea (urea will be eliminated from urine), but also help to eliminate carbon dioxide from the lungs; However, one enzyme can help bones and nerve tissues absorb phosphorus, and the other enzyme can help red blood cells absorb iron. In addition, the enzymes in the sperm will dissolve the gaps in the egg membrane before the sperm can enter the egg.
There is a kind of streptokinase in medicine, which is used to dissolve thrombus; Enzymes in the immune system can destroy wastes and toxins in blood and tissues. These examples are enough to prove the importance of enzymes to the operation of various functions of human body.
Although the total number of enzymes in human body is amazing, each enzyme has a unique function. Protein's enzymes can't digest fat. Moreover, lipase can't digest starch, which is known as the "specificity" of enzyme. In other words, enzymes are highly intelligent.
After an enzyme acts, it changes one substance into another (either chemically or as a by-product) without changing itself. The substance acted by enzyme is called enzyme substrate, and then the original characteristics of enzyme substrate are completely changed; In other words, each enzyme can only deconstruct the molecules of a substance, and the process of these molecules being deconstructed by enzymes can be illustrated by the decomposition process of geometric figures in figure 1 It seems that the workload of enzymes is really huge.
There are two kinds of enzymes that work in the body. One is "metabolic enzyme" and the other is "digestive enzyme".
? The function of digestive enzymes is to help food digest, while enzymes other than digestive enzymes are always called metabolic enzymes, which are mainly responsible for transporting nutrients absorbed by the intestine to various organs through blood vessels, converting them into heat and carrying out life activities, that is, carrying out this series of chemical reactions.
Dr. Hall said? "Enzymes that exist in the body are potential enzymes, and enzymes that exist in food and can be ingested from the outside are called food enzymes."
As mentioned earlier, there are enzymes in animals, plants and other organisms. In other words, we unconsciously ingest "food enzymes" from plants or animals.
In order to maintain life, human beings must use the function of digestive enzymes to digest and absorb nutrients, so that human metabolic enzymes can function normally, thus maintaining good health.
In all organs and tissues of the human body, there are "metabolic enzymes" that operate independently. According to the investigation report, 98 different metabolic enzymes were found only in arteries, and they also have different functions in heart, brain, lung and kidney.
There are thousands of enzymes in each organ, but we don't know how many.
Enzymes perform their respective duties, such as protease digesting enzymes to decompose protein, and SOD metabolizing enzymes to remove activity and oxygen. Each enzyme group shares its own work according to the established responsibilities.
Whether the human body can exercise healthily depends on whether these metabolic enzyme groups can play their roles accurately. If metabolic enzymes can be fully produced and used smoothly in the body, they can stay away from diseases.
? In 1758, Italian biologist lazaro Spanlang Cheney put the meat pieces into an empty metal tube with holes to feed the eagles. Soon after, when he took out the metal tube, he found that the meat inside had melted. He felt very strange, so he continued to experiment for decades and finally found a substance with meat-dissolving function, which was named protease.
18 3 3, French Payne and Peroli put ground malt liquor into starch and found that starch was decomposed, so they named this starch-decomposing substance amylase, which is now called amylase. Later, glucoamylase became the name used by France to represent all enzymes.
1836, Wang Xiu, a professor at a German university, discovered that there was a substance in gastric juice that could dissolve meat. Once heated, this substance will fail, and it will only work in a strong acid state, so it is named pepsin.
As long as a small amount of enzyme can act on a large number of substances, the reaction will be activated in water, and the reaction will be most active when the pH value is close to neutral and the temperature is about 37 degrees Celsius (except pepsin, which acts under strong acid).
Later, many scholars found many kinds of enzymes.
? The use of the name "enzyme" began in the second half of19th century. The English word is enzyme, which was put forward by Nizai 1872. In Greek, enzyme means "something in yeast". Yeast contains microorganisms used for fermentation during brewing, that is, enzymes.
19 2 9, American biochemist J. B. Sumner (1887-1995) successfully extracted urease crystals from concanavalia. Later, protein-decomposing enzyme pepsin, protein-decomposing enzyme trypsin in pancreatic juice and chymotrypsin crystallized in protein were successively extracted by Somna. 1946, sumner and American biochemist J.H. Northrop (189 1- 1987) won the Nobel Prize in chemistry.
Somna, the Nobel Prize winner, insisted that "enzyme is protein", but the result was a major misunderstanding that "you can ingest enzyme if you ingest protein". Protein is the entity of enzyme, but it is not the essence, just the skeleton of enzyme. The misconception that "enzyme is protein" makes the research on enzyme nutrition slow. On this basis, the following six nutrients do not include enzymes, which is also an important reason why many people still don't understand enzymes today.
Enzyme is a healthy food, not a medicine. People with different constitutions take enzymes with different effects. Insist on taking enzymes and slowly improve symptoms. The effect is visible!
Because enzymes exist in various organs, systems and cells of human body, which are necessary for human survival and metabolism, after taking enzymes for a period of time, the body will undergo slow and healthy changes.
The more severe the sub-health symptoms, the more obvious the improvement. The shorter the course, the faster the improvement, and the longer the course, the longer the improvement time.
However, healthy people or people without obvious disease symptoms have no obvious discomfort symptoms after taking enzymes, so the improvement of reaction symptoms is not as obvious as the former.
Moreover, everyone's physical condition is different, and their reaction to the improvement of symptoms is different.
The most common symptoms improved as follows:
(1) It is a normal phenomenon that defecation is unobstructed or the frequency is increased, which is one of the changes that enzymes change the intestinal condition, which is beneficial to intestinal cleaning and reducing intestinal pollution.
(2) Sleep is improved, sleep depth is increased, and quality is improved. Some people will start to feel sleepy at night when they should be sleeping. This is because enzymes improve their energy, and their sleep will improve after a while.
(3) the spirit has improved, fatigue has been reduced or disappeared, and physical strength has been enhanced. The original state of laziness and fatigue has been greatly improved.
(4) The skin color is improved, the dark spots, light spots and senile spots are obviously lightened, and the complexion is white and ruddy. Dermatitis, itching, exudation, rash and other allergic symptoms have been significantly improved. Many people change their skin color first after taking enzymes, because the metabolism of skin cells is faster than that of other tissue cells.
(5) Migraine, backache, dyspepsia, etc. Will gradually ease or even disappear.
Because enzyme is not a drug, it works slowly in the body, but its effect is real, and users need to be patient and insist on eating it!
