How Do Enzymes Benefit Our Health?
Ok, we've learned about how Reactive Surfaces enzyme technology can benefit the planet around us, but how can we incorporate enzymes into our diets to benefit our bodies?
#Enzymes are #proteins that help speed up chemical reactions in our bodies. They're essential for our digestion, liver function and much more. Too much or too little of a certain enzyme can cause health problems. Enzymes in our blood can also help healthcare providers check for injuries and #diseases.
Foods that contain natural digestive enzymes include pineapples, papayas, mangoes, honey, bananas, avocados, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, miso, kiwifruit and ginger. Adding any of these foods to your diet may help promote digestion and better gut health.
Alternatively, enzyme #supplements help your body absorb nutrients from the foods you eat. Without them, certain foods can lead to uncomfortable symptoms, food intolerances, or nutritional deficiencies.
