Overwhelmed? Can’t Add Anymore Supplements to Your Diet Routine? Still Want to Add Enzymes to Your Diet?…
No Worries.
Eat Enzyme-Rich Foods Instead!
Still Not Convinced You Need to Eat Enzyme-Rich Foods?
Why You Should be Eating Enzyme-Rich Foods:
- Better Energy
- Better Mood
- Better Immunity
- Relief of Digestive Upset
- Enzyme Function Decreases with Age
Enzyme-Rich Foods:
Avocado
Bee pollen
Raw, unfiltered, local Honey
Miso soup (eat prior to meal)
Kefir and Sauerkraut are great fermented foods (be sure not pasteurized if purchasing).
Fruits like papaya and pineapple have naturally-occurring papain and bromelain enzymes in them.
(Bromelain is well-known for improving Arthritis pain by lowering inflammation).
Signs You May Need to Supplement with Digestive Enzymes
Enzyme-Rich Beverages:
It may be easier for you to add enzyme-rich drinks to your diet. Just be careful of too much sugar, even in Kombucha.
(Some dentists recommend using a straw to protect the teeth’s enamel from the corrosive effects of carbonation).
Drinks like Wheat grass juice, Coconut water, Kefir and Kombucha are great ways to add live enzymes. Just be sure there are no added sugars other than naturally-occurring sugar.
What to Watch Out For in a Digestive Enzyme Product
A Note of Caution:
Start out slowly with Probiotics in supplement form as well as Probiotic-rich foods, as they can have a powerful effect on digestion. As always, check with your doctor before making a major change to your diet or starting any new supplement such as Probiotics or Enzymes.
