Not all food is created equal...

It's no secret that processed foods are not good for you and have a number of harmful consequences if eaten too frequently. Some of the consequences we feel immediately such as bloating and gas, but other harmful effects can be slower developing and make the process of losing weight or burning fat harder than it needs to be. 

One of these consequences you may not be aware of is that eating poor quality foods can significantly lower the amount of digestive enzymes your body produces naturally. The question then becomes, what are digestive enzymes and why are they important?

To summarize it quickly, digestive enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts to help break down the food we eat into smaller, absorbable nutrients. They are secreted by different parts of the digestive system, including the salivary glands, stomach, pancreas, and the small intestine.

The most common digestive enzymes are Amylase, protease, lipase, lactase, and cellulase. 

Having low levels of digestive enzymes can lead to low energy, decreased nutrient absorption, and inflammation and bloating, which can all contribute to gaining weight. 

Conversely, having optimal levels of digestive enzymes can lead to higher energy, increased nutrient absorption and low levels of inflammation and bloating, all of which contribute to weight loss!

Foods that contain digestive enzymes:

-Pineapple

-Papaya

-Bananas

-Avocados

-Honey

You can also use supplements to get more digestive enzymes in your diet, which is one of the main reasons why we always recommend our greens supplement, which contains digestive enzymes and probiotics, which are both necessary for optimal gut health.
