The Digestive System is central not only to our food digestion and absorption, but also to our immunity and emotional wellbeing. Poor digestion can lead to a host of issues, both physical and emotional.
The Digestive System is what most people seem to complain about the most. The reason for this is that our modern diets are processed, unnatural, nutrient-poor and contain toxins.
Enzymes are usually a central part of any natural supplements aimed at digestion because these proteins are central to the process of digesting food. Indeed, our bodies produce enzymes for digestion, but often not sufficient for optimum health, especially due to the strain put on our systems by modern diets, pollution and chronic stress.
Enzymes are not only important for food digestion, but can also be used systemically to digest extraneous proteins and tissues in the body like scar tissue and cell clump coatings, as well as helping to reduce inflammation.
In addition to enzymes, healthy gut flora are also needed for good digestion for they are the ones that break down many of the components of our food, providing vital nutrients.
