The importance of enzymes
Enzymes are organic molecules of a protein nature that are responsible for catalyzing all the biochemical processes of the body, that is, they are regulators of metabolism and the body manufactures enzymes from food.
Some scientists speak of enzymes as the wonderful “sparks of life” since they are essential not only to keep us alive, but also intervene in the aging process. And as we age we lose our enzymes.
Therefore, we will be interested in preserving our precious enzymes to the maximum, among others, through enzymatically rich foods, since in this way we can, on the one hand, help slow down the aging process, and on the other, promote the natural organic purification process.
