If the proper AMOUNT and required TYPE of enzymes are not available for digestion, our bodies not only become toxic from the leftover waste, but nutrients have no carrier to be delivered to the rest of the body. The inability to efficiently metabolize the essential nutrients for life causes food to be stored as fat, rather than burned as fuel. Also, our energy levels start to drop and our health slowly deteriorates. This is the reason many health ailments are initially a dietary mistake amplified by poor digestion.
When nutrients are digested thoroughly by the proper amounts and types of enzymes, and metabolic enzymes are spared to rebuild, repair, and renew the rest of the body we can experience many improvements in our health, energy, weight, mental capacity, hormonal health, and appearance.
