Enzymes to beat the Christmas bloat

Festive food is ‘famous’ for making you feel full and bloated. Our digestive systems simply can’t cope with larger, richer meals and we end up feeling tired and bloated. Not to mention the added discomfort of acid reflux.

Lack of Enzymes

Digestive enzymes are necessary for complete digestion and are produced naturally by our bodies. But our modern diet – typically devoid of natural enzymes – and the ageing process mean that most people over the age of 35 are running low on digestive enzymes. (How many older people do you know who can’t digest their food well?)

Digestion wears you out!

The process of digestion generates more free radicals than any other bodily function and depletes our stores of natural anti-oxidants making us feel tired after meals. A diet low in natural enzymes adds to this burden by forcing the pancreas to work harder to generate digestive enzymes. This organ is then unable to fulfil its other important role: to produce important systemic and immune system enzymes. It is well known that in the period after a heavy meal we are more susceptible to bacterial/viral attack. Over time, the pancreas simply wears out, leaving you susceptible to more damaging energetic, hormonal and metabolic breakdown. Put simply: premature ageing and chronic illnesses.

Supplementing with natural digestive enzymes

Supplementing with natural digestive enzymes not only quickly eliminates digestion and assimilation problems, it allows the pancreas to recover, which in turn improves your entire physiology.

Best natural enzyme

Enzymes from the Aspergillus fungus are the most effective since they function best at body temperature and in environments ranging from pH 3.0 to pH 9.0. This makes them the only enzymes that are active in the acidic, basic and neutral tracts of the intestine. By comparison, products and enzymes typically marketed as anti-acid or indigestion remedies only work in the acid environment of the stomach – thus they may solve one symptom but fail to address the real cause of poor digestion.
