Extend Your Life by Increasing Your
Body’s Enzyme Potential
Some enzymes are used for digestion while others circulate
throughout your body performing important tasks such as
producing hormones, regulating body secretions, managing
inflammation levels, balancing pH levels, producing cellular energy
and destroying foreign invaders.
However, it takes a toll on your body to create the enzymes needed.
It’s part of why you feel sluggish after a large meal as your body
works to digest the food.
Many scientists, going back to Dr. Edward Howell who first started
researching enzymes over 80 years ago, believe our bodies have a
limited lifetime total enzyme production potential. They discovered
simply reducing the caloric intake of mice – which reduced the
demand for enzyme production for digestion – greatly extended
their lifespan.
Reducing your calorie intake may preserve your limited enzyme
potential to help you
live longer. But so
can increasing the
amount of enzymes
you consume so your
body doesn’t have to
create them all itself.
Since enzymes are
necessary for life in
every living plant
and animal, not just
humans, enzymes
