What are enzymes (ferments)? And what are they used for? And why are they so important for our body?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enzymes (ferments) are proteins that participate in almost every chemical reaction in the human body. Enzymes play a crucial role in the daily functioning of the body. They are vital for the proper functioning of the digestive and nervous systems, muscle activity, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enzymes are necessary for our body as catalysts. They help digest food, accelerate metabolism, and eliminate waste and toxins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enzymes in our body<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are thousands of enzymes in our body that help digest fats, carbohydrates, break down proteins into amino acids, convert maltose sugar into glucose, and regulate other vital processes. With age, the production of enzymes in the body decreases. Additionally, the consumption of fried and fatty foods, as well as salt and sugar, destroys our native enzymes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enzymes, also known as ferments, play a crucial role in the daily functioning of the human body. They improve digestion, protect us from infections, cleanse the body of waste and toxins. They also provide us with vital energy, enhance metabolism, and accelerate cell regeneration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thousands of enzymes are known to participate in various processes in different organs. Let’s get acquainted with some of them. Digestive enzymes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lipase<\/strong> \u2013 an enzyme that helps digest fats present in food. Lipase is produced by the pancreas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amylase<\/strong> \u2013 helps break down complex carbohydrates (such as starch) into simple monosaccharides. Amylase is found in saliva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maltase<\/strong> \u2013 like amylase, it is found in saliva. It helps break down maltose sugar into glucose. Maltose itself comes from potatoes, pasta, beer, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trypsin<\/strong> \u2013 synthesized in the pancreas, breaks down proteins into amino acids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lactase<\/strong> \u2013 found in the small intestine, breaks down lactose into glucose and galactose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These enzymes play a huge role in the processing and absorption of nutrients, giving us the foundation for an active life. Undigested fats lead to unhealthy hearts and blood vessels, undigested carbohydrates cause allergies and asthma, while undigested proteins can lead to depression and even tumors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I won’t write about the enzymes that help the proper functioning of other systems in our body today, as it is quite complex… One thing is clear – without enzymes, our life is impossible; they are vital for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enzymes present in food<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the enzymes that have been in our bodies since birth, there are also those that we get from food. Plant enzymes are found in raw vegetables and fruits. They cleanse the body of waste and toxins, promote the renewal of our cells. They also strengthen the immune system, cleanse our liver, protect against tumors, and energize the entire body. An example of a plant enzyme is papain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enzymes are produced daily in our bodies. However, each person has a certain amount of enzymes produced throughout their life. Starting from the age of 20, the body’s ability to produce enzymes gradually decreases. After the age of 40, it sharply declines. It is also important to remember that enzymes are destroyed by the consumption of fatty, fried, and unhealthy foods, alcohol, smoking, prolonged use of medications, and during and after illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our task is to support our bodies with enzymes ourselves. It is necessary to adhere to a balanced diet and take enzymes in the form of dietary supplements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 Enzymes in the form of dietary supplements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the Japanese market, enzymes rank second in sales among dietary supplements after collagen. And this is not surprising! Japan is one of the largest producers of such products. There are many forms of enzymes available \u2013 from gels to powders and tablets. Manufacturers are offering more and more different types of dietary supplements with enzymes. Cocktails for maintaining figure, entire programs for body health in the form of concentrated drinks, and much more interesting things worth discussing separately. Some are also available on the shelf of AZIMKA.shop<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
