From bloating and gas to more subtle, long-term effects, the impacts of a diet heavy in low-quality foods can add up—and can make weight loss or fat burning much harder than necessary. One surprising effect of eating poor-quality food is the reduction in natural digestive enzymes that your body produces. But what exactly are digestive enzymes, and why do they matter? What Are Digestive Enzymes and Why Are They Important? Digestive enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts, breaking down the food we eat into smaller, more absorbable nutrients. Different enzymes are secreted by various parts of the digestive ....

    Back in 2018 I suffered from an abdominal hernia, and at the time we didn't have enough employees, so I couldn't take time off and get it fixed.
