Enzyme Therapy for Weight Loss

Enzymes act like keys to unlock specific life-generating activities within the body. A lack of certain key enzymes or a malfunction of just one type of enzyme possibly contributes to many disorders which could include weight gain. Enzyme Therapy attempts to remedy this by introducing needed enzymes into your system.

Features

• One of the most important functions performed by enzymes concerns your digestive health. These enzymes allow your body to break down and absorb nutrients. Conversely, a lack of or an unbalanced amount of certain enzymes can possibly contribute to digestive disorders which can contribute to your inability to maintain a healthy weight. Therefore, to assure proper digestion of food, you need to maintain the proper balance of certain enzymes to insure optimal health.

  According to health experts, due to the modern diet and life style, we lack a sufficient amount of many important enzymes necessary for digestive health. Other factors that contribute to this decrease include stress, age and exposure to toxins.

  Enzyme Therapy involves the ingestion of certain enzymes to insure returning to a balanced state. You can usually take these enzymes in the form of natural food supplements. Most common weight loss formulas usually include four common plant-based enzymes: Protease, Lipase, Amylase and Cellulase.

  Specifically, protease refers to a group of enzymes that break down protein. Undigested protein can result in the growth of unhealthy bacteria and parasites that not only effects the immunity system but possibly results in weight gain. Sugar, starches, and fats contribute to diminishing the effects of these enzymes.

  Lipase breaks down fats, especially triglycerides. If properly broken down, your body easily absorbs these fats into the intestines. A lack of this enzyme results in difficulty in breaking down fats possibly resulting in weight gain.

  Two other important enzymes included in most weight loss formulas include Amylase and Cellulase. Amylase breaks down carbohydrates while Cellulase assists in breaking down fiber.

  Since Carnitine assists in turning fat into energy, many individuals take L-carnitine as a weight-loss supplement. Reported benefits include an increase of energy, treatment for heart disease, promoting a healthy liver, as well as weight loss. Unfortunately, to date, scientific evidence fails to link L-carnitine with weight loss.

Consideration

• To date, support from the medical community remains mixed on the possible benefits associated with Enzyme Therapy, sighting a lack of scientific evidence. Nevertheless, many medical professionals claim positive outcomes associated with adding enzymes to your diet, which includes a strengthened immunity system, improved circulation, and most especially, weigh loss.

Warning

• Many supplements produce side effects such as diarrhea as well as interacting negatively with other medications, possibly decreasing the therapeutic effects or even causing harm. In addition, avoid D-Carnitine supplements since they interfere with the activity of L-Carnitine in your body. Consult with your health professional before adding enzymes to facilitate weight loss.
