Cucumbers and Broccoli
Your body’s health depends on how
well your body digests food and uses
the energy. We still do not know why
but the body loses its ability to make
energy from our cells as we age.
Foods Reverse Aging
Some foods that contain anti-aging enzymes are
broccoli and cucumbers.
Scientists have found that there is a
natural compound in them, that helps
to convert food into energy. This
compound can make cells act younger.
This means that because cells convert food
into energy better it can help with weight loss,
blood sugar levels and maybe even your eyesight. It can slow down the physiologic
decline. However, to get any anti-aging results you would have to eat a lot of broccoli
and cucumber for a long time for any significant anti-aging results. There are
scientists that can give injections of the compound for more immediate results and
have done so on mice but more tests are needed, who knows what the future will
bring?
Reverse Aging With Enzymes
Enzymes start biological reactions in your body without being changed in the process.
They are all different and all start a different process in the body. They work very
They wor
k very efficiently in the body, a small
amount creates a large reaction. Some reactions
may be multiplied by a million or more.
There are many different enzymes that Our
bodies produce. Enzymes are also present in the
food we eat. So it is important to chew your food
thoroughly even though our stomachs also have
enzymes. Our intestines and pancreas also
contain enzymes. There are digestive enzymes
that basically break down carbohydrates and
proteins into smaller particles. Enzymes are not
live organisms and are proteins but not all proteins are enzymes. As we get older we
need more digestive enzymes because our bodies production of enzymes slows down.
So we need to take a supplement either by pill form or from a good food source.

Some good food sources are :
Pineapple contains bromelain
Papaya contains papain
Mango contains amylase
Honey, unpasteurized contains several enzymes distases, amylase, invertase,
proteases
Bananas contain amylase and glucosidases and are also a good source of fiber
Avocados, contain lipase and is a fruit that is high in healthy fat and low in sugar
Kefir, contains lipase, proteases, and lactase. It is a fermented milk made by adding
kefir grains to milk during fermentation thereby creating enzymes.
Sauerkraut contains many enzymes and is also considered a probiotic which is very
good for gut bacteria
Kimchi contains protease, lipase, and amylase. Koreans eat a lot of kimchi it is
similar to sauerkraut and kefir, they are all very good for digestion.
Miso contains lactase, lipase, protease, and amylase. It is made from fermented
soybeans and koji a fungus. Often served in Japanese restaurants as a soup prior to a
meal.
Kiwi fruit contains protease and actinidin similar to papain in papaya
Ginger, contains a protease 1 and 2 or also known as zingibain or zingipain
It is important to know that enzymes are destroyed with heat that is above 60 degrees
centigrade or 140 degrees Fahrenheit. So only eat raw honey and don’t boil your
sauerkraut.

The 3 main digestive enzymes are Amylase which breaks down starches. Protease
breaks down proteins. Lipase breaks down fats and is produced in the pancreas.
Common side effects of taking too many enzymes supplements include constipation,
nausea, cramps, and diarrhea.
So if you are still interested in getting some enzymes in pill form I hope this list will
be a good guide when you head to the vitamin store or fruit section of your local
market.
Now, just a little note I believe I have mentioned this before but just to reiterate all
these vitamins and enzymes I write about I have tried them all.
One of my favorite enzymes is serrapeptase it’s not only an anti-inflammatory but it
dissolves dead protein and tissue which could be affecting your nerves causing you
pain and it’s natural.
In Closing
Not everyone can eat all the foods I have mentioned because of food allergies so they
will have to take enzymes in pill form. I know this because my wife has some food
allergies like to pineapple.
I had to drive her to the hospital like James Bond because she could not breathe, her
throat was red inside and she was talking like Daffy Duck.
So, it’s very important to see your doctor before taking any vitamins or enzymes. This
