Do you know all food is, at least potentially, a POISON, until it is
converted into simple structures. Foods are converted into nutrients by
the process call metabolism. Metabolism refers to biochemical
processes that occur with any living organism - including humans - to
maintain life. Metabolism is also the process the body uses to break
down chemicals such as drugs. Metabolism is the various processes in
the body that convert food and other substances into energy.
Metabolism is affected by your body composition. If you do exercise
regularly, you can actually increase body metabolism rate. If your
metabolism rate are high, your body can burn whatever food you
consume as fast as you can before they turn to potential poisons.
Base on 2004 report, as many as 1 in 4 American adults and 40% of
adults age 40 older have metabolic syndrome, an increase of 61% over
the last decade. The mortality rate for metabolic syndrome is 2.5 times
higher than Non metabolic syndrome. According to the book title “food
Enzymes for health and longevity’ by Dr. Edward Howell, bodies
deficient in nutrients and overloaded with toxic waste are creating an
epidemic in the United States where 65% of Americans are chronically
ill and 20 % of the teenager are suffering from premature aging.
Metabolic syndrome can cause sickness like heart disease, obesity,
stoke, hypertension, infertility, skin disease, cancer, diabetes, and
cerebrovascular disease.
Incomplete metabolism is causes by Enzymes that are not able to
perform at their peak level. Many of the body’s chemical reactions
would never be take place without enzyme catalyst. There are more
than three thousand type of enzymes in our body. Basically they are
divided into 3 types,
Food enzymes, digestive enzymes and metabolic enzyme.
Food enzymes
Food enzymes come from food like meat and vegetables, it helps in
body digestion. Food enzymes are destroy when the food is cooked at
temperature more than 54 degree.
Digestive enzymes
Digestive enzymes are produce by our body, it helps to digest food thus
enabling nutrients to be absorbed into blood stream for the use of our
body. Shortage of digestive enzymes is cause by ageing, environmental
pollution, imbalance diet, irregular lifestyle, alcohol consumption and
smoking, hectic lifestyle and stress.
Metabolic enzymes
Metabolic enzymes also produce by body and it helps to perform
metabolism inside body cells to produce energy and maintain health of
cells. The reason for the inactivity of metabolic enzymes also the same
as digestive enzymes.
By improving metabolism rate, living up to 120 years may not be a
dream anymore.
